But I ask you:what’s ahospital dramawithout romance?
ConsiderER, where the doctors' personal lives and the chaos they endure on their shifts are equally integral.
InThe Pitt’s case specifically, I’ve been nursing (ahem) a theory.
Are they secretly dating?
Are they argumentative co-workers with benefits?
Strained exes, perhaps?
Could the second part of my thesis also be true that Robby is the father of Collins' baby?
Let’s examine the evidence.
Scott Gemmillthe freedom to be economical in his pacing choices.
There’s no need to front-load the audience with expositional information.
Max’s new medical drama is currently airing even as the battle continues.
Most telling, a lot of lingering happens in this hospital.
Robby and Collins' side glances take longer than the gesture should.
When their gazes meet, they hook in place before skittering away.
Don’t even get me started on Robby, whose eyes trail after Collins whenever she leaves the room.
(Here, sir, you dropped your heart eyes.)
That’s just a barrier for their bodies to naturally broach.
Is it really love if you haven’t leaned shoulder-to-shoulder overa patient whose life you’re racing to save?
So far,they match one another well, semi-healthily balancing optimism with pragmatism and empathy with firm barriers.
I see you two, you aren’t sly.
As far as Collins' baby is concerned sure, the father could be an off-screen significant other.
Sure, this plot could be relevant to her character separate from Robby.
Wheres the fun in that?
