Imagine24and the originalERtelevision series had a child, and this would be it.
Sadly, it hasn’t been easygoing for him.
It’s kind of like medical school crammed into two weeks.
And it did, and then we were just sort of thrown into it.
So yeah, I’d like to think some of it’s in there.
If you have all these medical terms swimming around there.
And I’ve just wrapped, so I think, for right now [I’m good].
Gerran Howell: Oh, I don’t know.
They let some scenes go on, and we’d mess about.
So, I hope I brought some of my own personal awkwardness into the character.
“It Feels Like Someone’s Got It In For Me, Right?
Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 1, Episode 8.
Gerran Howell: Yeah, that’s a great question.
It feels like someone’s got it in for me, right?
But it was, every time, a surprise.
And yeah, I put up with it, and they kept coming.
Howell: You know what?
I think most of them we did do in one take.
I mean, people would be like, That’s really impressive.
But at the end of the day, something is just being thrown on me.
So yeah, I think most of them were one take.
The Mylanta was definitely one take.
Most of them were quite straightforward, thankfully.
Howell: I couldn’t possibly say.
I mean, the bodily fluids will never stop, but it’s just gotta dodge them.
So, who knows?
It really sort of haunts him.
But yeah, I mean, he just takes it so personally.
And obviously, Dr. Robbie sort of gives him some real sort of grounding about the whole thing.
But yeah, I like to think he’s resilient.
But he’s definitely put through his paces big time.
But I think for this one, he’s just like, I have to detach from this.
Howell: I’m rooting for Whitaker.
I mean, there’s so much going on in, you know.
At the end of the day, it’s a 15-hour shift.
So, can you have a romance blossom and all this trauma in one shift?
I hope people can see a different side of him through that.
You know, you could be personable and is not just always doing CPR.
How Does Dr. Whitaker Fit In With the Other Newbies?
“I Think He Finds Different Ways to Connect With All of Them In Different Ways.”
Gerran Howell: I think he finds different ways to connect with all of them in different ways.
But I think at the moment, Mel is sort of [someone].
I think he finds some common ground with Mel, her being neurodivergent and overwhelmed in different ways.
That is his big problem.
So I’d like to think with Mel specifically he has a little bit of a camaraderie there.
Gerran Howell: He’s terrified of her.
I think he sort of embodies the whole coming from a small town and hope.
He’s just, she’s terrifying.
Obviously, Isa [Briones] is lovely, but Santos is terrifying for Dr. Whitaker.
Gerran Howell: I just want to see him flourish.
I think that’s a natural thing.
So, I just want to see him evolve, but obviously, still struggle.
