The 15 Best Characters in ‘The Pitt,’ Ranked
Now with two seasons under its belt and a third already confirmed, The Pitt has taken the medical drama subgenre by storm. The series follows the doctors and nurses working in the Emergency Room of the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Unlike other medical dramas, though, the entire first season takes place over the course of one day, and each episode is one hour of a 15-hour shift.
There is a lot to love about The Pitt, from its structure, the fast-paced, and shocking storylines. The best thing about the show, though, are its characters. In particular, the main characters are all incredibly well-written, and they are very complex and nuanced. They aren’t just one-dimensional heroes or villains, but rather, they are flawed people who also do a lot of good. These are the best characters of The Pitt, ranked.
15
Perlah Alawi
Played by Amielynn Abellera
The nurses are the backbone of PTMC’s Emergency Room, and Perlah Alawi (Amielynn Abellera) is no exception to this. Perlah has been a consistent character since the very beginning of The Pitt, whether she is jumping in to gossip or exchanging a hilarious quip with Princess (Kristin Villanueva), or stepping up to help out with a patient when needed.
Perlah is a very caring and empathetic person, and she really cares about each of the patients who come into the ER. She is one of the people who takes it especially hard when frequent PTMC patient, Louie (Ernest Harden Jr.), dies about halfway through in Season 2. She also cares a lot about the people she works with, but that being said, she’s willing to push back with them when necessary.
14
Emma Nolan
Played by Laëtitia Hollard
Both seasons of The Pitt so far have taken place on a day when multiple PTMC staff members are starting their first day at the hospital. One of the best new additions to Season 2 has been Emma Nolan (Laëtitia Hollard), a recent nursing school graduate who comes to PTMC on July 4th to shadow. Despite being brand-new to the job, Emma quickly proves that she is in exactly the right place.
Emma is deeply compassionate, and her kindness and ability to connect with her patients is apparent after even just one shift. In one of the most touching scenes of Season 2, Emma and Dana (Katherine LaNasa) treat an unhoused man named John Digby (Charles Baker). After getting a bath and a haircut for the first time in a while, Digby is afraid that his family, and especially his daughter, won’t be able to recognize him anymore. Emma then steps in and asks Digby if he danced with his daughter at her wedding, and when he tells her that he did, she reassures him that his daughter will never forget that or him.
13
Joy Kwon
Played by Irene Choi
Third-year medical student Joy Kwon (Irene Choi) has also been a phenomenal new addition to Season 2 of The Pitt, so much so that we can’t help but hope to see her again next season, even as she is still doing her rotations for med school — and she currently has no interest in going into emergency medicine. Joy is a bright and ambitious med student, and even though the ER isn’t her dream place to work, she fits in very well there.
The Pitt is a heavy and often dark series that doesn’t shy away from the ugly side of healthcare, so it’s always a breath of fresh air when the series breaks up the more intense cases with brief comedic moments. Joy has been one of the funniest parts of Season 2 with her clever one-liners, like when she defends herself against Ogilvie (Lucas Iverson) when he answers a question meant for her, and when she ribs Abbot (Shawn Hatosy) about his age. Joy is also, refreshingly, not afraid to assert her boundaries. When everyone else on the day shift chooses to stay late, she goes home anyway, knowing her own limits.
12
Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi
Played by Sepideh Moafi
Season 2 of The Pitt marks Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi’s (Sepideh Moafi) first day at PTMC. She initially comes to the hospital to take over for Robby (Noah Wyle) as the head attending in the ER while he’s on sabbatical. By the end of the day, though, Al-Hashimi is of the firm belief that the ER needs two attendings, so she might just (hopefully) be back after this season. Al-Hashimi goes above and beyond, even on her first day, already trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t, so that she can improve things for doctors, nurses, and patients alike.
Season 2 of The Pitt has been jam-packed with difficult cases and surprise obstacles, but in between the more intense moments, the show has introduced important details about its new characters. Al-Hashimi is a deeply caring mother who prioritizes spending time with her son despite her demanding job, and she has had a seizure disorder since childhood. Even with everything on her plate, though, Al-Hashimi is very committed to her job, and she has already made an impact at PTMC after just one shift.
11
Dr. Jack Abbot
Played by Shawn Hatosy
The Pitt only ever takes place during the day shift, except for the few hours of overtime that the doctors inevitably end up working each season. During those moments of crossover between shifts, The Pitt has given glimpses into the night shift and the doctors who work it. One of the best parts of the night shift is Dr. Jack Abbot, who always makes the most of his limited screentime.
Abbot is a deeply caring doctor who was not afraid to break the law and lie to protect a teenage patient in Season 1, and who is immediately ready to pay out of his own pocket to help a financially-restricted patient in Season 2. Abbot takes his job very seriously, but he also knows when and how to lighten the mood, and he’s just a very refreshing and steady presence to have in the ER.
10
Dr. Heather Collins
Played by Tracy Ifeachor
Dr. Heather Collins (Tracy Ifeachor) may have only been in eleven episodes of The Pitt, but she made a lasting impact on the show and the other characters that is still apparent a season later. Collins was first introduced as a senior resident who was hiding her pregnancy. She was very good at her job, and also served as an excellent mentor to the new doctors and med students. In a devastating and important storyline, Collins suffered from a miscarriage at work. She checked herself out using the equipment at the hospital, then hid it and went back to work to finish out her shift.
Collins has been gone for over a season now, and her absence has been deeply felt. On her own, Collins was a great character who knew what she wanted and cared a lot about her patients. She was the one who thought about using a map to figure out where Minu (Arun Storrs) is from. At one point, she also called out McKay (Fiona Dourif), who was well-intentioned but ended up letting her own bias influence how she treats a patient. She also had really strong and interesting relationships with the other characters, from her friendship with Dana, to her past romance with Robby.
9
Dr. Cassie McKay
Played by Fiona Dourif
Dr. Cassie McKay was first introduced as a second-year resident who was very good at her job, and who cared a lot about listening to her patients and helping them beyond just the medical aspect. She revealed early on that she has been through a lot of difficult things in her life that made med school feel like one of the easier obstacles. She also wore an ankle monitor in Season 1 – but since shutting it down with an IO in a fantastic scene in Season 1, Episode 13, “7:00 P.M.,” it hasn’t returned to bother her in Season 2.
McKay has been an excellent mentor to Javadi (Shabana Azeez), and a caring and fiercely protective mother to her son, Harrison (Henry Samiri). McKay is also very funny, kind, and mindful of the difficulties in her patients’ lives. One of her best moments was in Season 1, when she helped an unhoused patient who had to lie about her address so that her kids could attend a good school. McKay took a huge risk in opening up to this patient about her past experience with addiction, but she still did it to make her feel more comfortable. In Season 2, McKay continues to show her compassion, particularly through her work on the street team.
8
Dana Evans
Played by Katherine LaNasa
As Robby told all the new members of the medical staff early on in The Pitt, the charge nurse, Dana Evans, is the one to listen to. She is absolutely fantastic at her job, to the point where when she had to step away for a little while later in the season after being punched by a patient (Drew Powell), everyone in the ER noticed her absence. Dana is kind and thoughtful, as well as extremely perceptive of the people around her. She is also an incredibly nuanced character, especially in Season 2, as she struggles with past trauma from being assaulted at work — and risks everything to save Emma when she goes through a similar experience.
Dana was the one who expressed concern early on that Robby was working on the anniversary of Adamson’s death for the first time in four years, and she frequently used this to understand his behavior. In Season 2, she still shows care for Robby, but she also knows when to push back against him and call him out. Dana is a sharply funny character, but she is definitely not just comic relief. Dana deals with one of the show’s scariest storylines in Season 1, and takes the lead on one of the most devastating cases in Season 2. Dana is truly the person who holds the ER together, particularly because she knows when to trust her gut over the rules and the system.
7
Dennis Whitaker
Played by Gerran Howell
Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) started out at PTMC as a fourth-year med student on the day covered by Season 1. Whitaker was initially a very nervous character who made some mistakes on the job and was very overwhelmed. He took the loss of a patient very hard, and it influenced his actions in Season 1 from there on out, forcing him to jump into the job in the worst way. By Season 2, though, Whitaker is much more sure of himself, and he has become a vital part of the ER. In one of the season’s best scenes, he acts as a mentor to Ogilvie like Robby did for him, explaining why he chooses to work in the ER despite the heartbreaking losses and impossible obstacles that they have to deal with daily.
Whitaker is a deeply caring person who readily puts everyone else’s needs above his own, often to his own detriment. In Season 1, he was also the subject of The Pitt‘s best running gag, in which he constantly had to change his scrubs, because they kept getting spilled on with various fluids. Whitaker is also one half of one of The Pitt‘s very best duos, through his unexpected friendship with his now-roommate, Santos (Isa Briones).
6
Victoria Javadi
Played by Shabana Azeez
Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez) started out at PTMC as a med student in the first season of The Pitt, and she is now in her fourth year as of Season 2. Javadi was initially most notable for being a prodigy who has some insecurities about being much younger than her peers, as well as the daughter of two doctors who work at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Her mother, Dr. Shamsi (Deepti Gupta), is a legend at the hospital. Season 2 has shown that Javadi has started to find her place at PTMC outside of her parents, even as she struggles to weigh what she wants for her future against what her mom does.
Javadi is a determined character who initially felt the need to prove herself due to her age and family connections. At first, Javadi was often embarrassing in an endearing way, like when she fainted in the first hour of the shift, and when she accidentally signed up to babysit when trying to spend more time with Mateo (Jalen Thomas Brooks). By Season 2, though, Javadi is much more self-assured and comfortable in the ER, even as she has to make difficult decisions about her future in medicine.

Sebastian Stan and Annabelle Wallis have been one another’s biggest fans since they started dating in 2022.

“Annabelle, I love you,” the Marvel star exclaimed.
Stan — who previously dated the likes of Leighton Meester, Jennifer Morrison and Dianna Agron — has long been candid about his dating experiences.
armor,’ the hero complex over on the masculine side which, obviously, I think is a big part of the toxic masculinity that kind of develops,” Stan said on “The Jess Cagle Podcast” in March 2022. “But this idea of ‘knight in shining armor’ and this idea that we often see sometimes in Disney movies and narratives growing up.”
He added at the time, “Sometimes we just have to reevaluate [those ideals] and just understand how those narratives subconsciously influence us as we meet people because we often meet people and we’re looking for evidence of certain things we know or we’ve heard of.”

The R-Rated, Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller On Netflix That Needs A Sequel
By Steven Nelson
| Published

In a world bursting with dystopian tales, 2017’s What Happened to Monday manages to offer a fresh, thrilling spin, catching viewers in a web of suspense, emotion, and intricate plotting. It went under-watched and underappreciated at the time of its release, but we can correct that now.
It’s streaming on Netflix, and this gripping sci-fi film poses the question: In a future where overpopulation leads to a strict one-child policy, what happens when you have seven identical sisters living in secret?
If you’re in the mood for a pulse-pounding ride that merges mystery with futuristic paranoia, then What Happened to Monday is one to add to your watchlist. And if you are a parent handling multiple kids at home, don’t worry, this will make your own living situation seem peaceful by comparison.
Seven Days Of Settman Sisters

In the not-so-far-off future depicted in What Happened to Monday, overpopulation isn’t just a looming issue, but rather a critical crisis. The world’s governments, in a desperate attempt to control the situation, implement a strict one-child policy. The Child Allocation Bureau ensures this policy is followed ruthlessly, taking away any additional children from families and putting them in cryosleep, with the promise that they’ll be awakened in a better, less crowded future. It’s into this world that the Settman sisters, seven identical siblings, are born.
Now, how do you hide seven sisters in a one-child society? Ingeniously named after each day of the week, the sisters rotate, stepping outside on the day they’re named after, and all impersonating the same identity: Karen Settman. Indoors, they’re Sunday through Saturday (hence, What Happened to Monday), each with her own personality and quirks. Outdoors, they maintain a collective facade, sharing experiences and memories with one another to keep their secret intact.

But the system, as meticulous as it is, starts to crumble when Monday doesn’t return home after her designated day out. Panic ensues among the remaining sisters. Has she been discovered? Did she run away? Or is there a more sinister reason behind her disappearance? The ensuing search pulls the sisters into a whirlwind of danger, conspiracy, and revelations as they race against time, not just to find Monday, but to ensure their own survival.
Noomi Rapace Kills In What Happened To Monday
The film’s stellar cast elevates this intriguing premise. Noomi Rapace takes on a challenging feat, portraying all seven distinct sisters, each with her own nuances and depth. Glenn Close, as the unwavering head of the Child Allocation Bureau, is the embodiment of the hard decisions and sacrifices made in the name of the greater good. Willem Dafoe also makes his mark as the Settman grandfather, the architect of the sisters’ intricate hide-and-seek life.

What Happened to Monday isn’t just another dystopian tale. It’s a story of sisterhood, survival, and the lengths to which one will go to preserve family.
The film generated a potpourri of reactions from critics upon its release. It was lauded for its intriguing premise and the tour de force performance by Noomi Rapace. Playing seven distinct characters in a single film is no easy feat, and Rapace’s portrayal was often spotlighted as the movie’s shining strength.

However, critics also had their reservations. Some felt that the movie, while ambitious, occasionally stumbled in its narrative execution. There were concerns that the film veered into formulaic territory, occasionally becoming predictable or borrowing tropes from other dystopian tales. Some critiques pointed towards the character depth, feeling that despite Rapace’s commendable effort, not all sisters received equal and adequate characterization.
On the flip side, the film’s pacing, action sequences, and visual aesthetics were often praised. The tension-laden plot kept many viewers at the edge of their seats, even if it sometimes sacrificed deeper thematic exploration for thrills.
Fertile Ground For A Sequel

If What Happened to Monday were to be granted a sequel, it could take multiple intriguing directions. Here’s one way to envision it:
Building on the first movie’s exploration of a world strangled by overpopulation, the sequel could venture beyond the Settman sisters’ story. The aftermath of the events of the first film has shaken the foundations of the Child Allocation Bureau. People across the world are now aware of the dark secrets of cryosleep and the fate of “extra” children. This revelation could trigger widespread unrest, with communities and families demanding transparency, accountability, and change.

The remaining Settman sisters could be at the heart of this revolution, becoming symbols of resistance against the oppressive one-child policy. They could join or even lead a movement seeking to challenge and overthrow the system. Along the way, they might uncover even deeper secrets about the Bureau and the global elite’s real intentions behind the policy.
What Happened to Monday garnered a mixed-to-positive reception, securing a 62 percent critical score against a slightly more favorable 67 percent Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. While it might not have been hailed universally as a classic in the sci-fi dystopian genre, it was recognized for its ambition, Rapace’s commendable performance, and its fresh take on a future grappling with overpopulation.

For many viewers, especially those fond of suspenseful, high-stakes cinema, What Happened to Monday became a must-watch, and is available to steam on Netflix.

Colin Farrell’s Hard-Boiled Apple TV Detective Thriller Officially Returns With New Image [Exclusive]
Colin Farrell has become one of the biggest stars in the world in the last few years, featuring in some of the most successful movies and TV shows on streaming and in theaters. Back in 2022, Farrell made his feature debut as The Penguin, and his role was so beloved that HBO greenlit an entire spin-off series around the character, which arrived in 2024. The show earned widespread critical acclaim, including nine Emmys, but its future beyond Season 1 is still unclear at this time. Farrell also recently teamed up with Margot Robbie for the romantic fantasy adventure A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which is now streaming around the world on Netflix. He even earned his first Oscar nomination a few years ago for his performance in The Banshees of Inisherin — it’s safe to say now is the best time to invest in Colin Farrell stock.
While The Penguin was a smash hit by every metric, many fans would argue that it wasn’t Farrell’s best show of 2024. You could make a case that the title belongs to Sugar, the Apple TV hard-boiled detective thriller co-starring Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Amy Ryan. Sugar went off the air on May 17, almost exactly two years ago, but Apple TV has already confirmed that the series will return with its long-awaited sophomore season on June 15. As part of our Exclusive Summer Preview Event here at Collider, we’re thrilled to partner with Apple TV to debut a new image from Sugar Season 2 ahead of its June 15 launch date. Before its return, Sugar is also surging in the top 10 on Apple TV in several countries right now.
What Is ‘Sugar’ About?
Sugar follows the private detective, John Sugar (played by Colin Farrell), who investigates the disappearance of Olivia, who is the granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell). Sydney Chandler, who broke out last year thanks to her role in the hit sci-fi series Alien: Earth, can be seen in Sugar playing Olivia. Sugar was written and created for TV by Mark Protosevich, with Donald Joh, Sam Catlin, and David Rosen also serving as writers in Season 1. Additional cast members include Dennis Boutsikaris as Bernie Siegel, Nate Corddry as David Siegel, Alex Hernandez as Kenny, and Anna Gunn as Margit Sorensen.
Check out the first season of Sugar on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more from our Exclusive Summer Preview.

Victoria Beckham’s Favorite Workout Leggings Are Actually Affordable

I crowned myself a wannabe Posh Spice as a kid, so it’s no surprise that Victoria Beckham’s style has always been an enduring inspiration for me. And while her figure and mine couldn’t be more different, there’s one thing we both seem to look great in: Oner Active’s ultra‑flattering workout leggings.

They’re comfortable, confidence-boosting leggings that work on real bodies, real-life demands and real women of every age.
Thoughtful design details like a wrap‑front waistband not only look sleek, but they’re also incredibly supportive and flattering.

The fabric is incredibly breathable and silky, and stays cool even during the sweatiest outside workouts or hectic mom-duty days.
When it comes to the backside, the sculpting workout leggings have glute‑defining lines that create a defined, lifted look without veering into obnoxious territory — i.e., nothing overly youthful, flashy or revealing. Instead, the effect is subtle and functional — the kind of body-boosting detail that feels appropriate whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, 50s or beyond.
These Oner Active leggings come in regular and long lengths, plus sizes XS through XXL. And while Victoria’s go‑to cocoa shade is running low, there are twelve total colors to choose from, including classics like black and blue, as well as bolder hues, like green and purple.

Hayden Panettiere Recalls Being ‘Told to Perform’ Sex Acts
Hayden Panettiere is pulling the curtain back on her past.
While promoting her new memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, she reflected on a deeply unsettling time in her life when she says she was “told to perform” sexual acts with an older man she met via a trusted friend.
“The fact that I was 18, even though I’d lived such a huge life and I thought I was oh so mature at 18 … scientifically, your frontal lobes don’t develop until we’re what, 25, 26?” Panettiere, 36, said during the Monday, May 11, episode of the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast after writing about the experience in her book. “So even though I felt like I could make healthy decisions, safe decisions, I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me.”
Panettiere spoke about the “shocking” incident that took place in a “very small room” on a boat with author and life coach Jay Shetty, noting it was even more troubling due to being quite “literally out to sea.” The actress was 18 at the time and starred on the hit show Heroes as Claire Bennet, an indestructible cheerleader with super healing powers.
The former child star — who now shares a daughter Kaya, 11, with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — said she never anticipated being shoved into the room by a person she deemed “as a protector and somebody who had my back.”
“She physically put me in the bed next to this undressed man who was very famous,” Panettiere said, revealing he acted “like this was just an average day for him.” Panettiere said she was instantly on alert and hyperaware of her surroundings, adding, “That lion in me, that fire in me … my hair stood on end and I became ferocious. I was like, ‘This is not happening.’”
She had nowhere to hide at the time, but “bolted” to another room.

“There was no jumping off and swimming away,” Panettiere added. “And there was nobody who was going to be empathetic to my situation. I realized that this was nothing new to them.”
Panettiere said it was a “disappointing” memory to look back on, “when somebody lets you down like that.” She pointed out that she had been disappointed by others before.
In hindsight, Panettiere said it made her appreciate those in her life who she can always count on in hard times — including her father, Skip Panettiere, who was consistently her “safe space” and who kept her “grounded.”
“When you really find somebody that you trust, you hold on to them for dear life and you feel so lucky,” the Nashville star shared. “So to be betrayed like that is just an awful feeling.”
Panettiere recently spoke about her childhood fame, surviving addiction, abuse and more in Us Weekly’s cover story, telling Us there is so much more to the actress than meets the eye.
“I think people will be surprised by what they learn,” she said.
After overcoming some of her life’s greatest challenges, Panettiere admitted to Shetty, 38, that she is taking a closer look at how she vets the individuals who enter her orbit. “I’ve not seen clearly immediately … They really were able to pull the wool over my eyes,” she said.
“I have, throughout the years, been fortunate enough to meet incredible people,” she also highlighted. “Incredibly loyal, and genuinely genuinely good.”

American Idol Season 24 Winner Hannah Harper Reacts to Victory
American Idol season 24 winner Hannah Harper is expressing her gratitude after singing her way to victory.
“What a wild, beautiful journey this has been. And somehow we’re just getting started,” Harper, 25, wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 11, alongside a photo of her posing with the envelope announcing the season 24 winner on the Idol set.
Harper continued, “Thank you to every single person who believed in me, prayed over me, voted, and helped carry this dream farther than I ever could’ve imagined. Y’all changed my life.”
“I’m beyond thankful for the doors the Lord has opened and for the opportunity to walk this path,” the singer added. “I’ll see y’all on the road soon… tour dates coming your way. 🤍”
Harper concluded her post with a Bible quote, which reads, “‘For I know the plans I have for you’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’”
Host Ryan Seacrest announced Harper as the winner of the latest season of American Idol during Monday’s live finale on ABC. Jordan McCullough was named runner-up, while Keyla Richardson came in third place.
During Monday’s finale, Harper performed Alicia Keys’ “No One” in tribute to the Grammy winner, who served as a mentor for the finalists heading into the live show.
“Your voice sounds beautiful and tender and like a lullaby,” judge Luke Bryan said about her performance. “Your voice is like walking in the outdoors. It’s like walking through a beautiful garden. You’re a true artist.”
For her second performance of the night, Harper sang an original song, “Married Into This Town,” as a tribute to her hometown. The singer is a stay-at-home mom of three from Willow Springs, Missouri.
“Congratulations on songwriting, congratulations about being that authentic person,” judge Lionel Richie gushed about her original song.
Harper first wowed the judges — Bryan, Richie and Carrie Underwood — in her initial audition when she performed an original song called “String Cheese,” which she said was about her experiences with postpartum depression.
“I was sitting on my couch wallowing, and you have boys, you know. Everybody wants to touch you, and I didn’t want to be touched,” she explained the song’s inspiration, per People. “And my youngest son, I was just having a pity party, praying that the Lord would calm my spirit, and my son kept coming up to me. He said, ‘Mom, open this. Open my cheese.’ I’m like, ‘Leave me alone with the doggone cheese.’”

Harper continued, “And I finally opened his cheese, and when I did, I realized God had put me in that place, and that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have in being a mom. So, I gathered myself, and I got up off the couch, and I quit throwing a pity party, and I realized that was exactly what I wanted.”
“And I kind of kicked the postpartum depression in the butt, and I said, ‘I ain’t doing it,’” Harper shared.
