SHAWN HATOSY as Jack Abbot SUPRIYA GANESH as Samira Mohan THE PITT | S2 E7 - 1:00 PM

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

je vais laisser la communauté parler:

This would be supported by the fact that as recently as mid Feb 2026, Gemmill was publicly teasing the Mohan x Abbot dynamic as something the show may want to build on in the future. At that point, Gemmill had already publicly shit on the possibilities of K*ngdon and R*bbot, so since he’s perfectly willing to dismiss MUCH more popular ships, it would have been nonsensical to choose to pander to mohabbot in the press at that time if he already knew they were getting rid of Samira.

So all available evidence suggests that Supriya couldn’t have been informed sooner than early to mid March, because the production themselves hadn’t even made the final decision long before then. That’s at most a few weeks before Variety published the article on April 2. So about 2.5 months before she was due to be filming season 3. Lots of projects that shoot in the summer/early fall would have already finalized casting by then, leaving her limited alternative options. Nevermind that the options are already limited for South Asian actresses! Would anyone really claim that’s plenty of notice to book something else right away?

(And besides all of that, Gerran and Taylor haven’t worked during the hiatus that I’m aware of. I’m absolutely not criticizing that AT ALL, just interesting it’s never the white people who get labelled “lazy.”)

you'll notice they weren't willing to point to any specific timelines, the way you have done, because they're just bullshitting and they're annoyed about the sympathy Supriya Ganesh seems to be receiving. 🤷‍♀️
