Gerran Howell Reacts to Show's Latest Death
The Pitt star Gerran Howell opens up about the shocking death in this week’s episode.
The actor, 34, exclusively tells PEOPLE about the lesson he learned after his character, first year resident Dr. Dennis Whitaker, deals with the loss of a longtime patient in season 2.
Episode 5 of the second season ends on a cliffhanger with Louie Cloverfield, played by Ernest Harden Jr., suddenly flatlining while being treated at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) attempt to resuscitate Louie, who struggles with alcohol addiction and is also featured in the first season.
The next episode, which premiered Feb. 12, opens with Robby and Langdon's attempt to save the patient's life. However, they appear to be too late as a nurse notes that his lungs are filling up with blood.
Louie promptly dies of a pulmonary hemorrhage due to his liver failure, and Robby calls his death.
