‘The Pitt’ Aftershow: Noah Wyle and the Team Break Down Robby’s Romance (VIDEO)

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 2, “8:00 AM.”]

“Noelle and I don’t like to share what’s going on behind closed doors very much,” Noah Wyle half-jokes of Robby and his new love interest, a nurse who is also the case manager, played by Meta Golding. The Pitt‘s January 15 episode offers a tease of their relationship.

The two cross paths professionally in this episode when a patient’s insurance won’t pay for his surgery at PTMC, and he must be transferred to another hospital. McKay (Fiona Dourif), witness to their exchange, senses that something else is going on, and after she walks away, Robby notes that she has a heightened sense of empathy, meaning she’s good at picking up on stuff. But he assures Noelle he hasn’t said anything, and she checks he’s still planning to leave that night for his sabbatical. He is, and says he’ll find her before he leaves.

That relationship speaks to Robby’s mindset this season, Noah Wyle tells TV Insider as part of our Post-Op: The Pitt Aftershow. Watch the full video above.

“One of the ways to show that the character is having a difficult time making connections that are lasting is to show that he’s engaged in relationships that are really finite, almost intentionally finite, that he goes into them with the expectation that they will be finite or at arm’s length,” Wyle explains. “So, he’s been having this lovely experience with someone who works at the hospital, and it’s all very grown-up and adult and understood that there’s no expectations and lots of freedom. But it’s a way of underscoring that the character’s having a difficult time attaching.”
