The Pitt viewers stunned by ‘remarkable' reveal in season one finale
The debut season of The Pitt has officially come to an end, with one scene leaving fans particularly emotional.
Max's new medical drama, which has become an instant hit with viewers, follows the chaotic events of a 15-hour shift of Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch (played by ER alum Noah Wyle) and his group of doctors and nurses at an underfunded Pittsburgh hospital. Each episode spans an hour of the shift.
*Warning — Spoilers for the season one finale of 'The Pitt' to follow*
In the season one finale — released Thursday — audiences are finally clued into what makes each character tick. Up until this point, the show had only revealed brief details about the doctors' personal lives.
However, once their grueling and emotionally taxing shift draws to a close, that's when the true healing begins. As each doctor is freed from the confines of the hospital — where they have just witnessed a series of traumatic events, including a mass shooting, a drowned child, and a case of molestation — they are left to try and cope with all the horror they've seen.
After finding Dr. Robby having an emotional breakdown on the roof of the hospital, Dr. Abbott (Shawn Hatosy) invites him to join a group at a nearby park for a beer.
There, they all debrief on the day they've had. While settling into the park bench, Dr. Abbott, a war veteran who calmly led the ER amid the influx of shooting victims, casually removes his prosthetic leg. Although it had previously been disclosed that Dr. Abbott was a military vet, this was the first time he was confirmed as an amputee — and the subtlety of the scene has not been lost on fans.
'I will never get over this reveal,' one wrote on X. 'it was so well done and added even more depth to Abbot's character. It was a truly remarkable scene and I praise the writers of The Pitt for including this very much needed representation on television.'
'The way it was so casual as well. Impeccable writing,' a second wrote, with a third agreeing: 'It was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, my favorite moment of the series from a story telling standpoint.'
Another found that the moment added 'so much depth to his character and backstory without it being the main thing that defines him.'
The Pitt, which has since been renewed for a season two, made headlines before its January debut when the estate of ER creator Michael Crichton sued Warner Bros. Television, accusing the series of being an unauthorized reboot of the hit emergency room drama. Warner Bros. TV has denied the allegations, calling them 'false' and 'meritless.'
Earlier this week, Wyle, who's also named as a Plaintiff in the lawsuit, broke his silence on the matter, saying that he felt 'profoundly sad and disappointed' by the allegations.
'This taints the legacy, and it shouldn't have,' he told Variety. 'At one point, this could have been a partnership. And when it wasn't a partnership, it didn't need to turn acrimonious. But on the 30th anniversary of ER, I've never felt less celebratory of that achievement than I do this year.'
Season one of The Pitt is available to stream on Max.

From nude snaps, toyboy lovers & launching sexy products – how 50-plus stars like Hurley and Holden get spicier with age
Find out what Amanda Holden keeps in her saucy bedroom box GENERATION X-RATED From nude snaps, toyboy lovers & launching sexy products – how 50-plus stars like Hurley and Holden get spicier with age GONE are the days when midlife meant slowing down in the bedroom department — if this lot are anything to go by then this is the era when things ramp up. From Liz Hurley in her 'birthday suit' for her 60th, to Amanda Holden, 54, gardening 'naked', 52-year-old Sofia Vergara sunbathing topless and Halle Berry launching her own range of sex products, these women refuse to let age diminish their sensuality. Advertisement 6 Amanda Holden, 54, 'I would encourage anyone at home to strip off and have a cheeky bounce on the trampoline' Credit: Christian Vermaak 6 Halle Berry, 58, 'The most important thing about owning your sexuality is accepting the station you're at and embracing it' Credit: Instagram 6 Liz Hurley, 60, 'Powerful folk can be sexy. I adore Clinton... you know, naughty but nice with a very sexy voice' Credit: Instagram Dubbed Generation X-Rated, along with their nude snaps, they are sharing saucy sex confessions, dating toyboys and having the steamiest sex of their lives. Even at 67 Sharon Stone — technically a boomer — has set pulses racing with her latest magazine cover for Vogue. Proudly revealing her breasts in a sheer dress, it's her raunchiest shoot to date. While many may judge them for not 'acting their age', I'm sure millennials knee deep in nappies and Peppa Pig — in the so-called arid years — will be looking on with a hint of the green-eyed monster, and hoping that they too will revive their mojo in mid-life. Sharon Stone says she is 'hotter now than I have ever been' and that just as many people want to sleep with her as in her younger years. Meanwhile Liz Hurley is 'in love' with her new beau Billy Ray Cyrus, 63. Advertisement And kudos to Amanda Holden, who is happily 'swinging from the chandeliers' with husband Chris Hughes, 51. She says he can't keep his hands off her, adding: 'I actually tell him off because I say, 'I don't want to have a kiss and a grope while I'm trying to load the dishwasher.' One secret to their saucy sex life is that Amanda likes to walk around the home completely naked — whether serving Sunday lunch or bouncing on the trampoline in the garden. She also says she has a 'magic box' of sex toys. Advertisement Heidi Klum is another Gen-X-er who is more than satisfied. Married to Tom Kaulitz, who is 16 years her junior, she has spoken about how she has found her match. Amanda Holden appears NAKED on radio just days after Ofcom complaints over BGT dress Describing her sex life as 'endless, hot and wild', she says she likes to have sex for hours. Heidi once said: 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while.' Advertisement The German model's daughter Leni, 20, also revealed on a podcast that she and her friends found her mum's sex closet — where she keeps her sex toys and dressing-up clothes. While most teens would be mortified, Leni described the secret stash as 'cool'. Sexual prime According to research, it's not just celebrities or fictional characters such as the Sex And The City girls or Bridget Jones who are experiencing a sexual reawakening in their 50s and beyond. Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert While millennials and Gen Z are in a sexual recession — having less sex than their parents — many women of Generation X or even boomers like Sharon Stone are in their sexual prime. Advertisement Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor said: 'Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. 'A survey by dating site Ourtime found that senior daters are more likely to leave the lights on in bed, and have sex sooner than daters aged 20 to 30.' She also said women have more access than previous generations to HRT to increase natural libido, and beauty treatments to boost confidence. Halle Berry is one Hollywood A-lister who has talked freely about post-menopause sex. Advertisement Last month she shared a video lying naked in bed with her boyfriend, 55-year-old musician Van Hunt, and held up a bottle of personal lubricant, laughing to the camera — hinting that they were about to get frisky. She has previously revealed that she has had red-light therapy down below and uses lubricating skincare products, declaring that she is now 'juicy like a peach'. Halle, 58, who has her own range of intimate wellness products, is as stunning as ever and her confidence is through the roof — at this year's Met Gala she appeared to go commando and left little to the imagination in a sheer dress. She insists 'Age is just a number they stick on us at birth' and looking at these sexy stars, you might say that it's almost possible to freeze time — if you have the means to do so. Advertisement Single Jennifer Lopez, 55, is a prime example. She showcased her ageless figure when performing at the American Music Awards last month, and in a bold move to prove she is far from past it, she locked lips with both her male and female dancers, making global headlines. In a similar move, Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara recently posted a holiday pic topless in just a thong bikini, and fans were amazed by how fabulous she looked. 6 Sofia Vergara, 52, 'I feel very sexy right when I wake up. But I feel even more after I shower, brush my hair and put on make-up' Credit: Instagram/sofiavergara 6 Heidi Klum, 52, 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while' Credit: Calzedonia Advertisement One posted: 'How the f*** are you 52?' while another speculated that she had airbrushed her bottom to make it appear bigger. Others left a trail of flame emojis and marriage proposals. Twice-married Sofia recently declared that she is looking for 'a lover' after her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello was finalised last year. After that thirst trap of a snap, there will be plenty of volunteers. As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor says: 'Women over 50 get a boost of va-va-voom, especially if they're single.' Advertisement And contrary to the trope that all menopausal women lose interest in sex, she adds: 'As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic.' Youth, they say, is wasted on the young. And numerous studies have shown that Gen Z is too busy scrolling TikTok and taking selfies to have much real-life sex. Meanwhile those in their 50s and older have reported improvements to their sex lives, with more than a third having the best sex of their lives, according to Swedish sex toy firm Lelo. Maybe youth isn't wasted on the young then — it's just the warm-up act for a spicier mid-life.

Speaking to Mail Online, Jess believes sex is a "pointless activity" if a person is not in a loving relationship. And despite giving the impression on Love Island that she was "sex-obsessed", Jess said this couldn't be further from the truth. "I'm just not interested unless I really connect with a guy," she explained to the publication. Jess added: "I'm not having any, and I don't miss it. I don't want it. It could be years before I have it again, who knows. "I'm not into one-night stands and, believe it or not, I never have been." Jess won the first ever series of Love Island alongside Max Morley in 2015. She worked in a bank at the time and chose to share the £50,000 prize money with Max. The couple appeared smitten and had quickly won over the hearts of the nation. But just six weeks after their triumph, the winners dramatically split when Max was caught spending the night with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby. I won the first ever Love Island but the fall out from my instant fame was so brutal I've given up sex for good, says Jessica Hayes Looking back, Jess has now accused professional cricket player Max of deliberately "targeting" her. Max had entered the villa as a late bombshell and Jess believes it gave him time to clock how popular she was with viewers. Telling the Mail she is "annoyed" they split the money, Jess added: "So, I do feel he targeted me but, as I say, I was young and naive." Jess was just 22 when she won Love Island and afterwards she threw herself into a lifestyle of wild partying. But three years later, she "hit rock bottom".

"You go out a lot and party a lot and sometimes it can be to excess and that's not good for you. "You come out of a show and you're a celebrity and no one says, 'This might only last five minutes'. 'I didn't have good guidance or good management and that didn't help me take the right path. 'There were points where I thought, what the hell am I doing?" Jess is now a devoted mum of two children, five-year-old son Presley and daughter Zendaya Rose, one. The relationships with both of her kids' dads broke down and she is now a single mum. However, Jess said: 'I couldn't ask for more from my children's dads. 'They are in their lives and they are good with them." She added: 'I'm not materialistic at all now and I think that having children, your priorities change. 'And if my daughter tells me she wants to apply for Love Island in 20 years time I will tell her, 'No way — not unless I'm your manager'.' 5 Jess won Love Island alongside Max Morley Credit: ITV2 5 She has accused Max of targeting her on the show Credit: ITV

Jennifer Lopez and her child Emme visit the studio... after ex Ben Affleck invited her kids to his premiere
Jennifer Lopez turned her work into a family affair when she invited her child Emme to a dance studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 55-year-old singer and actor looked ready to work up a sweat in a sporty ensemble, while Emme favored a casual–cool look that suggested they weren't joining their mother's dance practice. The mother–child bonding moment comes after ex-husband Ben Affleck showed that he was still a part of her children's lives when Emme and their twin brother Max, 17, attended the premiere of his thriller The Accountant 2. Jennifer opted for a baggier-than-usual outfit on Wednesday, including an oversize gray zip-up hoodie that was cropped to show off a hint of her rock-hard abs. She wore a black sports bra underneath that highlighted her cleavage, and she matched it with a slim set of black leggings. The Hustlers star wore her long caramel-colored hair parted down the middle and cascading down her shoulders so that it perfectly framed her large aviator sunglasses. She completed the workout-ready look with white trainers and mid-calf socks, and she accessorized with a large black handbag. Emme favored a white tank top with a long gray–green gingham button-up shirt worn open, along with baggy denim cargo shorts, a brown belt and classic black Converse high-top sneakers. The nepo baby — who uses they/them pronouns — wore stylish eyeglasses and listened to something on earbuds as they headed into the studio. Fans of Jennifer and her ex-husband Ben Affleck were shocked in April when the Oscar winner revealed that Emme and their brother were attending the premiere of his film The Accountant 2, despite his bitter divorce from their mother. Ben revealed the reunion while speaking with Entertainment Tonight, and he also took the opportunity to speak warmly of his ex. 'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,' the star explained. 'I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to,' he added. Ben noted that Max and Emme were in the audience with the three children he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel, 13. The bonding moment comes after her ex-husband Ben Affleck showed he's still a part of her children's lives when Emme and their twin brother Max attended the premiere of his thriller The Accountant 2; pictured April 16 in Hollywood 'It's a great night. The kids are here, Jen's kids are here. I 'm very, very excited,' Affleck gushed. 'I'm proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It's really fun, it's exciting.' He continued, 'I'm thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that, it's the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I'm glad that this is a movie they want to come to.' Despite apparently attending, all of Ben and Jennifer's children appear to skip the red carpet. Although Ben spoke warmly of his former stepchildren, the remains of his relationship with Jennifer appear to be tenser, and he is reportedly going to humiliating extremes to sever their final ties. The former couple finalized their divorce in early January of this year, but but they are still connected through ownership of the Beverly Hills mega mansion that they bought in May 2023 for an eye-popping $60.8 million in cash. Since going public with their separation, the two put the 38,000 square-foot home on the market for an even pricier $68 million. Last month, it was reported that Ben and Jennifer had slashed the asking price by more than $8 million to $59.95 million, almost $1 million less than what they initially paid. An insider exclusively revealed to the extent that Ben is willing to go to push along a sale so that he can put his disastrous and short-lived marriage to the actress and singer out of mind. Ben and Jennifer were married in July 2023, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement. The actress filed for divorce two years later and they settled in January 2025; seen in 2021 in Venice Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in July 2022, nearly two decades after their first relationship and engagement. But their puppy love soon soured, and filed for divorced just two years later. She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for their split, which she dated to April 26, 2024. The two finalized their divorce in January of this year. Last month, Jennifer was lambasted by fans for her lesbian kiss at the American Music Awards. The hitmaker — who hosted the show and shared kisses with both male and female dancers during an opening medley of her songs and the evening's nominated tunes — was branded 'desperate' by fans due to the bizarre kiss. But an inside source exclusively told that the kiss was all part of a coordinated strategy for Lopez. ' followed the direction of her PR and she did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback,' the source said. 'She is living her best life and has zero f***s to give right now,' they continued. 'She dealt with so much uncertainty, but she was brave. She did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down. Instead, she kept going and living her life.' Despite Jennifer's best attempts to put on a good show and also spice up the AMAs, viewers were largely disappointed in the ceremony. One common criticism was that there was a dearth of major stars in attendance. The show was also criticized for airing few categories live, which may have been due to many of the nominees and winners not bothering to show up to the ceremony, which was held in Las Vegas. The event was savaged on social media, with several
