Goodbyes are going to be extra tough at the end of the current season of HBO’s medical drama The Pitt. Per Variety, Ayesha Harris, who plays senior night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis, has been promoted to series regular ahead of the show’s third season. Alongside that, Supriya Ganesh, who plays senior resident Dr. Samira Mohan, will depart the show after season 2. She has played the character since season 1.
According to an insider, Ganesh’s exit is a story-driven decision. Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is a teaching hospital, so it is normal for residents to come and go. As fans will also recall, Mohan has also spent part of season 2 trying to determine what she is going to do with the next phase of her career once her residency ends.
