Fans have gone into various stages of grief and shock after witnessing the death of Andrew DeLuca as Season 17 of 'Grey's Anatomy'. This has led to fans now feeling rather insecure about the fate of their other favorite characters on the show. While it's not surprising that fans are now on the edge of their seats about whether Meredith Grey will survive as she battles Covid-19, others are also showing concern for the fate of Dr Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) and Dr Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson). 

While Meredith talks to Andrew on the beach in her mind, DeLuca tells her he doesn't know where to go from here and Meredith says neither does she. This statement has got fans quite worried.

One fan said, "They KILLED DELUCA AND THEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO SHOW MEREDITH ON THE BEACH WITH DEREK #GreysAnatomy #GreysxStation1." Fans are also wondering what is in store as Meredith seems to get closer to Derek on the beach in her mind. “IT’S YOU AGAIN” OH MY GOD DEREK SHEPHERD AND MEREDITH GREY!!! #GreysAnatomy," another said.

"deluca gone and meredith seeing derek again.....i don't know how much longer i can do this #GreysAnatomy," said another.



 



 



 

But it's not just Meredith fans are worried about. "PROTECT MEREDITH BAILEY AND WEBBER AT ALL COSTS PLEASE #GreysAnatomy," said one worried fan.



 

We're not quite sure why some fans believe that harm will come to Bailey and Dr Webber. Perhaps it is simply the insecurity surrounding the fate of the show, as even the show runner of 'Grey's Anatomy' Krista Vernoff isn't sure if the Season 17 finale will also be the series finale. Also, besides Meredith's character, it's only Dr Richard Webber and Dr Miranda Bailey who have served as constants during the longest-running medical drama.

Fans also may be particularly worried about Dr Webber who doesn't have age on his side during the pandemic. Though for Webber, it's still duty as always for the man who will always be the 'Chief' not just to the doctors at 'Grey Sloan' but to fans of 'Grey's Anatomy' across the world. The return of ‘Grey's Anatomy’ Season 17 premiered on Thursday, March 11 on ABC.
