Nicely, we all know no less than one physician from The Pitt who gained’t be on shift for the Fourth of July weekend that will likely be lined in Season 2. Tracy Ifeachor, who performed Dr. Collins and was final seen in Season 1 Episode 11, is not going to be again. Given the present’s real-time format, with every episode masking one hour of every season’s one shift, her absence must be straightforward to clarify and doesn’t even imply that she gained’t nonetheless be on workers on the hospital.
However what it does imply is a change on The Pitt. Not solely will we not be seeing Collins, however this additionally (seemingly) eliminates the potential of her and Robby (Noah Wyle) getting again collectively; the primary season revealed simply sufficient about their previous to present us an thought of what their relationship was like. It additionally makes us inquisitive about what we may see with regards to Robby’s private life, given what government producer R. Scott Gemmill instructed TV Insider after the Season 1 finale.
“We’re speaking about Robby and his previous relationships and what which means transferring ahead and the place he’s in his life. And that’s an ongoing dialogue, and it’s an attention-grabbing one as a result of we do wish to discover that extra and take him to a spot and discover out what he needs,” Gemmill stated. “What does Robby need? The place does he wish to be on the finish of this yr in his life? When is he going to cool down or what’s he searching for?”
Working below the idea on the time that Ifeachor could be again for Season 2, it did appear possible that exploring that might contain Collins in no less than a way. It nonetheless may, simply offscreen. Season 1 noticed her making an attempt to turn out to be a mom through IVF solely to have a miscarriage in the midst of the shift. Robby instructed her to go dwelling early, therefore her exit in Episode 11. Perhaps Collins decides to depart Pittsburgh as she’s determining if she needs to attempt once more, and that results in Robby determining what he needs in his personal private life, particularly if there’s a transparent indication that the door is closed for good on their relationship.
When TV Insider spoke with Tracy Ifeachor for a Scene Examine of the scene through which Collins reveals that she had been pregnant however determined to not have the newborn when she and Robby had been collectively previously, she had been hesitant about speaking about her future on the present. However she did share that she wasn’t ruling out a reunion for the exes.
“It’s an ever-changing factor, isn’t it? It’s like something the place emotion has been concerned and if you’ve been actually near somebody and thought you might need a future with them after which for no matter cause it doesn’t work out. You suppose you’re over that particular person or over that friendship or over that have, and you then get a form of a set off they usually’re so pretty in a single second or they’re all of the issues that they by no means had been in your relationship. They’re current, they’re listening,” she famous. “I believe possibly she’s simply taking good care of herself proper now. I believe that’s in all probability one of the best ways to place it. I by no means wish to rule something out or in, I at all times suppose it’s good to have a sure stage of uncertainty. The very best artwork lives, in my view, in uncertainty.”
She was additionally hoping to see, going ahead, “a little bit will they/gained’t they? We’re all trying to be identified by somebody, and a few of us discover that and a few of us don’t, and a few of us proceed to go looking. And I believe that’s a part of life and it’s great. So having somebody who you’ve got a historical past with who is aware of you and will get you, to return dwelling to on the finish of the day is so great.”
Perhaps that may play into how her exit is defined and we’ll study that she discovered somebody within the months that may have handed between seasons.
