Patrick Ball and Shawn Hatosy share details of working with real-life partners on screen: 'It was a dream'

he Pitt season one was ripe with famous faces taking on guest roles, including Fiona Dourif's father Brad Dourif, who played her character Dr Cassie McKay's father. So it won't surprise eagle-eyed fans to note there are, by my count, at least two familiar faces in the first nine episodes of The Pitt season two – the real-life partners of Shawn Hatosy and Patrick Ball.

Kelly Albanese, Shawn's wife of 15 years, makes a brief appearance in episode one as the wife of a patient, while Elysia Roorbach, whom Patrick met in 2023, has a multi-episode arc as a patient who is suffering an unfortunate eye incident.

"It was a dream," Patrick told HELLO! of getting to work alongside his girlfriend; his character, Dr Frank Langdon, is called on to treat Elysia's character.

However he insisted that he had "nothing to do" with her getting the role, and that she "auditioned the old-fashioned way and got the job and it was a real dream come true".
