‘The Pitt’ Bosses and Noah Wyle on Dr. Abbot’s Finale Reveal and How Season 2 Will Reflect Trump Defunding Health Care: ‘It’s a Real Concern’
"The Pitt" executive producers Noah Wyle, John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill talk the Season 1 finale, including Dr. Abbot's prosthetic leg, and what's coming in Season 2.
By the Season 1 finale of “The Pitt,” the day shift of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency department has weathered multiple fentanyl overdoses, a degloved foot, a troubled teenager with a list of girls he wants to hurt, severe sickle cell disease, brain worms, sex trafficking, a stolen ambulance, escaped rats, testicular torsion, mercury poisoning from face cream, an elderly father going off of life support with his adult children at his side, a drowned child, a nail gun attack, a spider bite, a pregnant teen who locks herself in the bathroom, a toddler who ate weed gummies, a risky delivery, a racist and abusive patient, an unvaccinated child with measles, and a flood of critically injured patients from a mass shooting at a music festival. Dr. Melissa “Mel” King (Taylor Dearden) finally convinces the father of the patient with measles to undergo a crucial spinal tap test to ensure he’s getting the proper treatment; that night, she reunites with her sister, and they head off for spaghetti, pizza and a repeat screening of “Elf.” Dr. Trinity Santos (Isa Briones) convinces a suicidal patient to seek help; later, when she discovers that Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) is living in a room in the vacant wing of the hospital, rather than mock him (as she has all day), she invites him to stay in her spare room, instead. So they both wander down to the park just outside the hospital, joined by Dr. Samira Mohan (Supriya Ganesh), some of the ER nurses — Princess Dela Cruz (Kristin Villanueva), Donnie Donahue (Brandon Mendez Homer) and Mateo Diaz (Jalen Thomas Brooks) — and med student Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez).
