\n\tSPOILER ALERT: The following will reveal plot points from the Season 2 finale of\u00a0HBO Max<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0The Pitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tNoah Wyle<\/a> had fans of HBO Max\u2019s The Pitt in a tizzy during the show\u2019s second season, as his character, Dr. Robby, descended into darkness and into a mental health crisis.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we revealed last night, series creator R. Scott Gemmill confirmed<\/a> that even with the extreme lengths they went to with Robby this season, he has yet to hit rock bottom. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn conversation with Deadline last week, Wyle said, \u201cWell, I think we\u2019ll find out what that rock bottom looks like next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cI like to think we are all engaged collectively in a five to six-year mental health journey that takes a character from a place of real brokenness to a place of health. Hopefully, we\u2019ll get them there together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s scary to think that if Robby were considering ending his life this season, he could go even lower. With his struggles starting to affect his job, could rock bottom mean he loses the job that means the most to him? At this point, anything is possible.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked, Wyle suggested Dr. Robby \u201cgo away and do some serious evaluations.\u201d But that, of course, is easier said than done.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think what he\u2019ll find is that he hasn\u2019t been himself for a really long time, and if he had been aware of his own behavior, he wouldn\u2019t feel very proud of himself. But I don\u2019t think he was feeling very proud of himself even while he was exhibiting that behavior. I think a lot of that was projection against how he didn\u2019t want to feel,\u201d Wyle shared.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cIt was hard to see weakness in others when you don\u2019t want to see it in yourself. And I maintain, although it\u2019s not a very popular attitude online I\u2019m told, that Robbie really loves Samira [Supriya Ganesh] and thinks she\u2019s a rock star doctor and hates that she falls short of her own potential and sabotages her own progress. And yes, his tough love attitude with her is totally inappropriate and unprofessional, but it\u2019s grounded in a desire for her to see herself the way he sees her, which is a lot more talented and a lot more full of potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Wyle as an actor, it\u2019s been tough yet rewarding to go on this journey with Dr. Robby.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSome days are easier than others, but ultimately, it\u2019s been one of the more rewarding things I\u2019ve ever been part of. Not the least reason being I find it very cathartic. It\u2019s a little masochistic to mine these feelings, but at the same time, it feels also kind of healthy and catalytic to conversations. And when I get back the resonance from people who really feel an identification with what he\u2019s going through, I find it very gratifying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT: The following will reveal plot points from the Season 2 finale of\u00a0HBO Max\u2018s\u00a0The Pitt.
