'The Pitt' season 2 shocker: Major cast member won't return
To those of you 'The Pitt' fans who have been not-so-secretly shipping senior attending physician Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and E.R. senior resident Dr. Heather Collins (Tracy Ifeachor) on the hit HBO medical drama, we've got some bad news: Ifeachor will not be returning for "The Pitt" season 2, per an exclusive report from TVLine. Ifeachor portrayed Dr. Collins since the medical drama premiered back in January 2025 (and quickly became appointment television for both critics and viewers alike). The last time we saw the character was in episode 11, near the end of their 15-hour shift, when she revealed to her colleague/onetime paramour Dr. Robby that she had experienced a miscarriage earlier in the day. After Robby told her to go home early and rest, Collins was absent from the final four episodes of the hospital-set series. And now it looks like she will be fully absent from the show's upcoming second season, with TVLine reporting that the departure was a creative choice from the production team, rather than Ifeachor's decision. Season 2 will reportedly catch up with the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital staff approximately 10 months after the events of season 1, covering another 15-hour shift during a Fourth of July holiday weekend. We expect that Ifeachor's exit from the series, as well as seemingly Dr. Collins's exit from the hospital, will be explained via that time jump. Ifeachor posted to Instagram about her time on the HBO drama, writing: 'What a blessing to be a part of this first and foundational season of #ThePitt on [HBO Max]. It was an absolute privilege to play Dr. Heather Collins in such a groundbreaking season and piece. Thank you to everyone who has watched & supported Season 1 & shared their stories with me.' Tracy Ifeachor's Instagram A photo posted by on Series star and producer Noah Wyle previously explained Dr. Collins's absence from the first season's final episodes, sharing on a podcast appearance on The Watch: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'The whole end of the season is just removing bearing walls from Robby's life. 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].' The actor added: '[Collins] would have maybe been one of those voices that could have reached [Robby], and we didn't want him to be reachable.' Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to 'The Pitt' season 2, which is expected to debut on HBO and Max in January 2026, including casting news, plot details, teaser trailers and more.

Don't Let Corn Rootworm Steal Your Yield: Bayer Launches The Watch 2025
Free Scouting Tools and Expert Guidance Help Farmers Tackle One of Corn's Costliest Pests ST. LOUIS, May 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corn rootworm remains one of the most damaging pests in U.S. corn production, causing an estimated $1 billion in losses each year. To help farmers get ahead of this underground threat, Bayer is launching its eighth year of The Watch, a farmer-first program that offers free tools, education and expert support to monitor corn rootworm pressure and make proactive management decisions. "Corn rootworm is a yield-robbing pest that attacks at every stage of its life cycle — from larvae feeding on roots underground to adult beetles above ground," said Safeer Hassan, Bayer technical product lead for corn traits. "When root systems are compromised, the plant's ability to take up water and nutrients suffers, leading to reduced yield potential and increased vulnerability to other stresses." Often, corn rootworm damage goes unnoticed until it's too late. "There's no reliable in-season rescue treatment once larvae are feeding below ground or adult beetles are present, so proactive monitoring is critical," Hassan added. "Farmers need to understand their corn rootworm pressure so they can adjust their management practices to achieve the best yield potential. If you don't know your pest pressure from last year, you're at greater risk." What The Watch Offers By joining The Watch in 2025, farmers can gain a deeper understanding of corn rootworm life cycles and how to manage pressure through the season and beyond. The program delivers timely updates, expert insights and proven scouting methods like sticky trap placement. A key feature is the free* Corn Rootworm Pressure Starter Kit, available now through July 7, which includes sticky traps to monitor beetle activity and gather valuable data to inform future trait and treatment decisions. "It's critical that we help raise awareness around corn rootworm and empower farmers to act early," Hassan said. "The Watch is about equipping farmers with what they need to help make informed decisions, protect their fields and maximize their yield potential — not just this season but for years to come." Join the #RootwormWatch Social Media Contest This year, Bayer is also launching the #RootwormWatch social media contest, giving participating farmers a chance to win a premium portable electric cooler. After receiving their free kit and setting up sticky traps, farmers can enter by: Taking a photo of a trap and posting it to Facebook or X by August 20, 2025. Tagging @BayerTraits and using hashtags #RootwormWatch and #sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Full contest rules and eligibility details can be found at Key Dates for The Watch 2025 Corn Rootworm Week on June 1-7: A week of dedicated content across Bayer's social media channels to raise awareness, spotlight best practices and showcase real solutions for battling this devastating pest. July 7: Deadline to request a free Corn Rootworm Pressure Starter Kit. August 20: Deadline to enter the #RootwormWatch social media contest. The Crop Science division of Bayer offers cutting-edge corn trait solutions to help manage corn rootworm. SmartStax® PRO with RNAi Technology is an industry leader for high-pressure environments, delivering more than double the root protection compared to competitor products** in medium to very high corn rootworm pressure environments.

Don't wait until it's too late — know your pressure and protect your yield potential. Join The Watch, request your free starter kit and access tools to help defend your crop: *NoPurchNec.
