Did ‘The Gilded Age’ Kill Off [Spoiler]? Actor Makes Shocking Statement After Character Is Shot | HBO, Morgan Spector, Television, The Gilded Age | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

Spoilers ahead! Do not continue reading if you have not watched last night’s episode of The Gilded Age on HBO!

Just as the episode was wrapping up, Morgan Spector‘s George Russell was packing up his things to head out after taking care of some business. Suddenly, an assassin enters and points his gun, seemingly directly at him. The gun fires, and we don’t get a chance to see what happens as the episode abruptly ended.

However, in a preview for next week’s episode, it seemed as if George was all bloodied and injured.

Now, Morgan himself is giving a hint about his character’s fate…and it’s making fans worry!

Variety asked Morgan, “How worried should we be for George?”

He responded, “You should be very worried. In the 19th century, gunshot wounds from up close were extremely dangerous. Many people didn’t survive them. I don’t have a contract for next season yet, so who knows?”

Having no contract for season four would leave fans to believe his character possibly dies! However, that doesn’t mean he won’t get a contract for next season, so don’t fret just yet!

He added, “When I read the script, it wasn’t that long after Luigi Mangione shot the United Healthcare CEO. I was like, [“The Gilded Age” creator] Julian Fellowes is clairvoyant. It redoubled my sense that there’s a way that this show, however subtly, however quietly, is really in dialog with our current moment, simply by virtue of there being structural similarities between the two eras. Both of these time periods have massive wealth and massive inequality. Both of them are characterized by industrial titans who are kind of swinging the state around by its tail. The consequences of that can be violence.”

Interestingly enough, when Just Jared published the stills for the latest episode of The Gilded Age, there was one included that didn’t appear in the episode: a reunion between two characters.
