Katherine LaNasa discusses The Pitt's success and bond with viewers

In a press conference with co-stars Gerran Howell, Shawn Hatosy and Patrick Ball, LaNasa talked about the core of The Pitt. She explained, "I think sometimes you don’t realize the show is so really deeply emotional—it’s kind of like its secret sauce is just sort of all hidden in there, really. You think you’re doing one thing and then you have a whole bunch of feelings."

Recalling filming a flashback season with Noah Wyle's character Dr Robby where he broke down after the death of his mentor, the actress revealed that the emotions are high and tears are often shed. She continued, "I have so much emotion invested in the character and invested in it, so I think we really lean on each other. I mean, this last week I just pulled Fiona [Dourif] aside like, “Can I just say something to you for a second?” I think particularly for all of us that were there last season we built this thing together and I think there’s just a lot of bonding there, a lot of safety and trust with each other. And it’s really a wish for all of their success and I think we just feel really held up by each other and really there for each other. I definitely feel that and I think we just create that environment ourselves for each other."

On sudden fame with The Pitt

However, the Emmy winner who plays Nurse Dana Evans is surprised that the show blew up the way that it did with the public and the medical community in the US. She added, "That was like, 'Who are these people in my house?' It was a kind of intimacy that we had with each other. Even our background are there, like, everyday—we have a real close-knit relationship with our background artists, and it was like, 'What are they' just that they knew who you were. It was literally like becoming a public figure overnight. It felt like someone had seen into our closet."The Pitt will be streaming every Friday on JioHotstar until April 17. The medical series is competing against The Diplomat, Pluribus, Severance, Slow Horses and The White Lotus for Best Drama at the 83rd Golden Globes.
