‘The Pitt’ Stars Isa Briones and Gerran Howell on Who Gets Squeamish on Set, Season 3 Expectations and the Unlikely Santos/Whitaker Friendship

The stars of "The Pitt," Isa Briones and Gerran Howell, have stated they are no longer easily disturbed by the graphic content depicted on the show. Howell, who portrays Dr. Dennis Whitaker, expressed surprise at his own desensitization to the medical scenarios, noting that while the scenes are inherently gross, the constant exposure has diminished his initial squeamishness. Briones, who plays a character involved in the medical drama, echoed this sentiment, indicating a shared adaptation to the on-set environment. Both actors are anticipating the upcoming third season, with Howell hinting at potential developments in the unlikely friendship between his character, Dr. Whitaker, and the character of Santos, played by another cast member. They are looking forward to exploring the evolution of these relationships and the further unfolding of the series' narrative in the new season, which is expected to continue the show's exploration of intense medical situations and character dynamics.
