Speaking to Good Housekeeping before season 3, episode 1 aired, she explained how essential it was for her to not take the storyline of Maggie’s miscarriage lightly.

“I think it was a really important storyline to bring up this season, as this topic is not talked about as much as it should be,” she told us. “It affects so many different people in many capacities — whether it’s happened to you or someone you love. I was definitely nervous to portray it respectfully and in the right capacity to be honest and help people feel seen.”

Luckily, viewers know Maggie doesn’t have to bear the weight of her miscarriage alone. She has the support of her new boyfriend Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray), who helps her take the first step of acknowledging her pain from everything she’s experiencing. As for how Cal supports Maggie, he stands by her as she openly grieves the heartbreaking loss … all while the couple have an emotional moment as they plant a tree in the baby’s honor.

When Morgan shared what it was like to work with Chad during such a heavy time in their characters’ relationship, she said she was grateful to have him by her side during filming. What’s more, she emphasized just how important it was to have a crew who understood the undertaking of telling Maggie’s story.

“We have such a wonderful cast and crew who are so supportive and respectful during scenes like this,” she said. “As Maggie is held in a different way, I feel very held by Chad and everyone on set, just making sure everybody is quiet and calm. Everyone was aware that these were highly emotional scenes Chad and I were doing, and I felt very allowed to just go full in on it.”
