‘The Pitt’ Women on Relating to Their Complex Characters, ‘Ridiculous’ Portrayals of Neurodiversity on TV and Whether Dana Really Wants to Leave
Katherine LaNasa, Isa Briones and Taylor Dearden open up about diving into 'The Pitt.'
Katherine LaNasa transformed into take-no-bullshit charge nurse Dana Evans; Isa Briones encompassed a sometimes not so likeable Dr. Santos; Fiona Dourif embodied the no-nonsense single mother with a heart of gold Dr. McKay; Shabana Azeez was the perfect Javadi, a young doctor constantly trying to prove herself; Tracy Ifeachor felt as though she’d been playing Dr. Collins for decades, a woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants; Taylor Dearden was impossible to ignore as the incredibly kind Dr. Mel King; and Supriya Ganesh’s Dr. Samira Mohan may just be the smartest person in every room. “The Pitt” doesn’t go light on the storylines — the first season includes a teenage fentanyl overdose, a miscarriage, physical assault, PTSD and a mass shooting (to name a few). At the end of the finale, Dana, who has been punched in the face by an angry patient, takes her personal belongings home and tells Langdon (Patrick Ball) that she’s not sure she’s coming back.
