“The Pitt” stars Isa Briones and Gerran Howell say they’re no longer squeamish about the things they see on set. “It is weird that I don’t get grossed out anymore?” asks Howell, who plays resident doctor Dennis Whitaker. “Is that a red flag?  It is gross, don’t get me wrong, especially when we’re about to do a take and they’ll rush in and make it look fresh by putting all sorts of liquids in!”

Briones, who plays fellow resident Dr. Trinity Santos, agrees that “it doesn’t feel as weird anymore. Everything’s so cool. I’m just so impressed by our team that they can make all this happen. I feel like Katherine [LaNasa, who plays Nurse Dana Evans] is the one who still gets the most grossed out, because she’s not always in all of those intense moments.”
