After the episode aired, fans of "This Is Us" could not help but wonder whether or not Toby has been killed off. While speaking with People, the actor broke his silence on his character's fate and said that Toby is very much alive and well.
In episode 11, Toby is alive and recovering at the hospital, and Kate (Chrissy Metz), was with him every step of the way. Sullivan admitted that it was very difficult for him to keep Toby's fate a secret to fans who were really pressing him for an answer for the past couple of weeks.
Despite the stress of keeping Toby's fate a secret, Sullivan is happy that he was given such a momentous scene in "This Is Us." "It is really nice of Dan and the creative team to create a character that people are so attached to. Even last night, I was out having dinner, and my waitress, the last thing out of her mouth was, 'Are you coming back?'" he said.
Meanwhile, since Toby is alive, it is possible that he might have just been engaged to Kate. So many things will be happening in their lives in the series, and it might seem overwhelming for them.
"They both know that they are drawn to each other, and I think a lot of times they do not know what to do about that. A lot of decisions they make are based on this feeling that neither one of them can survive without each other. What we can expect in the next few episodes is them really trying to navigate and figure out the best ways to acknowledge those feelings," he said.
"This Is Us" airs Wednesdays on NBC.
