The Pitt's Noah Wyle Addresses Tracy Ifeachor's Exit Ahead of Season 2

Noah Wyle is addressing Tracy Ifeachor's shocking exit from The Pitt following TVLine's exclusive report that Dr. Heather Collins will not scrub in for Season 2. 'Truthfully, we loved the actress,' Wyle tells our sister site Deadline. 'We enjoyed having her with us very much. She's gotten really big and we will miss her.'

At the time, sources told us that the decision was a creative one, and it was not Ifeachor's choice to leave. Confirmation came one day after Ifeachor took to Instagram to say what a 'blessing' it was to be a part of the series' freshman run — but made no mention of Season 2. Soon after, she booked a supporting role in M. Night Shyamalan's forthcoming thriller, Remain, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tracy Ifeachor (@tracyifeachor_) Dr. Collins was last seen in Episode 11, during a tender exchange that revealed the depth of her relationship with Noah Wyle's Dr. Robby. She confided in her ex about her recent IVF journey that ended in miscarriage earlier that day, then revealed that she got pregnant while they were dating but chose to have an abortion. After assuring Collins that he was not upset, Robby gave her the OK to clock out an hour ahead of schedule.'Go home, turn off your phone,' he told her, and that she did. By the time our department chief got word that there had been a mass shooting at PittFest, his senior resident was incommunicado. Ifeachor's absence from the final four episodes did not go unnoticed by fans — and in an April interview, Wyle, who is also an executive producer, addressed the decision to have Collins scrub out before everyone else. 'The whole end of the season is just removing bearing walls from Robby's life,' Wyle said on The Watch. 'He leans so heavily on Collins and Langdon, and then you take them both away from him… he leans so heavily on Dana, and then she becomes compromised… and then his one last relationship to Jake is severed when he can't save his girlfriend.' The thinking was, 'let's take away all this guy's support system and have him out there [alone].'If Collins had been there, Wyle said, 'I think she would have maybe been one of those voices that could have reached [Robby], and we didn't want him to be reachable.' That said, at the time of the podcast interview, there was no indication that Ifeachor would not be back for the series' sophomore shift. Wyle & Co. are currently back in production for a targeted January 2026 premiere. On Tuesday, The Pitt racked up 13 Emmy nominations for its first season, including Lead Actor (Wyle), Supporting Actress (Katherine LaNasa), Guest Actor (Shawn Hatosy) and Outstanding Drama Series.

Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay Is ‘Ecstatic' Over Kelli Giddish's Full-Time Return to the Show

Talk about squad goals. Law & Order: SVU star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay is 'ecstatic' about Kelli Giddish's full-time return to the procedural, she recently told our sister site Deadline.

Joe Biden Diagnosed With 'Aggressive Form' of Prostate Cancer Giddish's just-announced reinstatement as series regular on the NBC series 'is so purely joyful to me,' Hargitay added. 'She is a formidable actress and an incredibly creative partner and has been such a joy and huge part of the fabric of SVU. I love her, and I love acting with her and co-creating with her, and it feels like home with her. So I am ecstatic about her return.' Giddish left SVU as a series regular in December 2022 but has been a recurring guest star since then. Her most recent appearance took place in Episode 20 of the just-wrapped Season 26, when Rollins — now a sergeant working with the New York Police Department's Intelligence Unit — was brought in to assist SVU on a kidnapping case. Law & Order: SVU Season 27: Everything We Know So Far View List Hargitay has made no secret of the fact that she fought Giddish's ouster in 2022 and that she wanted to bring her back in more than a recurring capacity. 'Kelli is my favorite actor to work with. Kelli is my heart,' Hargitay said in a May 2024 interview with our sister site Variety. 'It's a sore subject. I have a lot of say on the show… but I didn't have enough there.' She added: 'I don't like not being listened to, especially when I'm right… That relationship was one of the most powerful relationships in television because you saw these two badass women, so flawed and so there for each other.' Hargitay spoke with Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival, where she was promoting My Mom Jayne, a documentary about Hargitay's mother/film star Jayne Mansfield. The film marks Hargitay's cinematic directorial debut; she has previously helmed nine SVU episodes.
