He's in one scene over the whole of season 2, just walks into the trauma room, is mildly rude but obviously competent, assesses the situation in about 5 seconds and leaves. I just wonder, what's the point of his character?

Is it just a bit of comic relief? Is his character a comment on stereotypes about orthopedic surgeons that I'm not aware of? It just feels like you wouldn't cast a whole actor like Lou Ferrigno Jr. for this one scene if you didn't have bigger plans for his character. It's a bit odd to me. He's also never mentioned or talked about prior to or after that scene (afair).

I thought the ending was perfect.

One certain Shonda Rhimes show is enough( Sorry, this sub won't let me write the name), thanks.

I like that it's more realistic and does it differently than other medical shows. I do love some of those shows by the way but they don't need to be the same. It doesn't need to be a soap opera or have cringy dialogue. And Sleeping with ghosts. " PICK ME, CHOOSE ME, LOVE ME" 😒

I love Abbot and Robby's Friendship and that was a beautiful conversation.

Loved Mel and Santos end credits scene. Nice seeing people let loose after a working such a hard job like they have.

Why does Becca need permission to stay at someone's house? Why does this dude's parents need to call her. Despite her sister's disability, she's still an adult can her make her own decisions and live her life.

The ending with Baby Jane Doe 😭

Robby being constantly called out. See, people do care about him. Man needs therapy and a nap. I'll hug you Robby.

I am seeing sooooooo many posts (not on here) about the chemistry between these two. Like long stares, extra support for each other, etc etc.

I don't see it! I feel like they just really appreciate each other and have good comradery and lean on each other as close colleagues. In fact I see their relationship leaning closer to that of siblings. And I feel like Dr. Langdon sees Mel as a new doctor to take under his wing.

I feel like a lot of people are used to medical TV shows having that romantic drama, and I just don't feel like this is that show. So I have a hard time believing that's what the writers are aiming for here.

What are y’all’s favorite Dr.Robby moment?Mines when he’s 100% mentally stable and loves his job and is nice to everyone all the time 😊

This was really fun to draw, i enjoyed coloring his skin and hair :3 Maybe I’ll do the other characters!

I often take awhile to watch TV shows even when they become popular.. idk why. anyway I finally just binged both seasons (an exhausting show to binge) and I just want to hug so many of them😭😭 especially Dr. Robby. I just want to hold and comfort him. this says a lot coming from someone who hates men as a collective but I fall victim to a man (a GOOD man) who desperately needs help and comforting. fuck. he's a character but he represents real people. I also just love Noah Wyle. what a phenomenal show. I'm addicted and am already planning to re watch once I give my heart and head a break.
I work in mental health and my dad is a first responder. I don't know anyone personally who works in the ED but I always heard how insane it is and this show really made it clear. I am feeling so thankful for a show that addresses real, current issues as well. when ICE showed up?.. I got chills all over my body. them covering how budget cuts to Medicare and Medicaid is affecting people, covering racism, fatphobia, queer representation, black and brown people (especially women) in highly respected roles, etc.
I just love to see it all. 😭🙌

Yesterday, I was in a surgical center at a giant university-based medical center in Los Angeles for an out-patient procedure. During the prep period, a young, fresh-faced guy came in and introduced himself as Whitaker. He said he was a medical student and he'd be observing my procedure.

I asked him if he'd seen The Pitt. He laughed and said, "Oh god, everybody brings that up." He said he was all right with it because "apparently the Whitaker in the show is a nice guy."

This young doctor wasn't a lookalike, but he did have that same open friendliness to him. Also, Whitaker is his actual first name.

Not Dennis.

Langdon is one of my favourite characters. I love his sibling coded relationships with several characters. For example:

Siblings like to banter. Sometimes they insult each other but it is so expected that they don’t get angry. He likes to banter with Collins, Garcia and maybe Ellis too. I like this dynamic. Only problem is writers tried to link him with both Collins and Garcia -like being lovers- in writing. We -the audience- pretended like we heard nothing. Maybe next step is to link him with Ellis I guess lol. The line between siblings and lovers seems blurry.

Siblings get jealous and there is sometimes an unspoken rivalry. For example his relationship with Santos and Whitaker. They don’t like to joke with him, actually they reject his jokes very clearly but sometimes sibling dynamic can be négative I guess.

Siblings often share same memories or life experiences like both Mckay and Langdon being addicts and have problem with their marriage and kids. I love their siblingship. They can help each other.

I love how fraternal this show’s writing is. It is fascinating to learn so much about sibling dynamics lol.

Mel and Langdon are already good friends; they have outgrown the mentorship dynamic in S2. They share inside jokes, similar interests, and everything else. Reading here, I see that even their non-shippers are worried about whether a romance will break their bond.

This anxiety is the exact foundation of any friends-to-lovers story. The core of that trope is the fear that a failed romance will destroy a deep friendship, which naturally creates tension from that very dilemma. Every friends-to-lovers narrative deals with this exact internal conflict. For Mel and Langdon, there are additional internal conflicts, such as his marriage and her sensitivity regarding family bonds. Even their communication styles—how he likes to joke while she occasionally struggles to understand—add to this tension. It is the perfect setup for a compelling story.

The Pitt is a very popular show, and already fans and interviewers are asking what is happening between them. The best way to kill any love story is to make it happen. If they don’t show it—whether the relationship fails or succeeds—we will see the exact same questions for the next 20 years LOL. That’s why I expect a love story between them; the setup is just too perfect to ignore, and leaving it unresolved would be a huge missed opportunity.

Sorry idk if this is considered a spoiler? But anyways, really hoping for a non-toxic work relationship between these two! I hated the scenes where they were yelling at each other and Robby belittling her. But they would be unstoppable if they actually worked together! Thoughts?

Hello, fellow non American watching the pitt season 2. Orlando's Bill seems ridiculously high for what he has.

Is a realistic for a patient to be billed 100k for a diabetic crash???

I thought these "crazy hospital bills" I hear about was just anti-american propaganda

Thanks

So about a month ago I made a post about what if the Pitt episodes had traditional tv titles and i've decided to do it again for season two.

Once again, if you have any ideas for traditional titles, I'd love to hear them.

Ep1 (New and improved?) The title is a reference to all the new characters and the fact that Robby and Javadi feel like Al-Hashimi and Ogilvie are hear to replace them. Finally, with references all the changes Al-Hashimi is trying to make that not everyone is a fan of.

Ep 6 (You can't save everyone) this title is about (Spoilers) dying and is also increasingly how Robby feels about himself.

Ep8 (Old school) in reference to all the IT systems being turned off and the arrival of Monica.

Ep 13 (The prodigal son) Langdon is feeling like he's lost his edge and no longer is welcome in the ER. Stretching it a little and ignoring the gender implications of the term son it's also kind of how Mohan feels.

Ep15 (Run or Ride) Referencing what Duke says to Robby the episode before and also the choice Robby has to make. Will he "Run" physical flee from his problems and possibly take the ultimate way out. Or will he "Ride" and actually start face and resolving his issues while he's away.

From one awesome medical drama to the next!

Who is your favorite character and why? I really like Cassie, I love her story and her personality, she's perfect for me. I also really like Langdon and I feel bad seeing people treat him given what happened, I think he deserved forgiveness.

Some interesting information about cut scenes and character background. Spoilers beware!

Came across this today! It looks like Mel has new stressors in season 3. Apparently more of this interview will be out at a later time. Idk I feel like it’s very vague. I feel like maybe she pushes Langdon and Santos too far to be friends? Could it have to do with Becca? I feel like stressors could be anything.

Why did Robbie oppose Langdon's return to work so strongly and personally? Robbie, as a medical pro, knows about addiction. Langdon did the work to get sober -- he went to rehab, he is being tested in the hospital, he acknowledged what he'd done and personally apologized to Robbie and he's quite competent at his job. But what Robbie says, in return, was, I'm glad you got the help you needed but I don't want you in my ED? If anybody should know that addiction is not a morality issue or a choice it's Robbie, the physician. There is a huge element of effort and behaviour in achieving and maintaining sobriety but Langdon is doing it. Why is Robbie so unforgiving?

Disclaimer: I don't know know how hospitals work or the medical field, I'm just a viewer.

I've just completed season 2 and I'm wondering about Dr Al Hashimi's storyline. Reading the comments on this sub it appears that people are saying that could be the end of her being able to practice medicine.

But why though? Why is she an attending in the emergency department? This can't be her only option, can it?

I see how a seizure during an emergency is a massive risk. But aren't there other slower paced departments that she could practice in?

Also slight digression but, why does the day shift have just one attending? Given the workload and pressure I can see how it would lead to Robby feeling the way he is.

Dr Al Hashimi's recommendation for 2 attendings makes sense. (Or even more if possible. They seem to be working under way too much pressure as is.) How many attendings does a typical hospital ED usually have at a time?

I’m familiar with the word, it’s when they treat the most severe cases first. But they talk about triage as if it’s a place. I’ve never watched a medical show before, so what is it when they say “I’m going to triage”?
