Santos Texting Her Landlord

First hour -> Last hour The Pitt (2025 - )

on my KNEES for this mother fucker

i also don't think Whittaker and Santos would tell anyone they're living together. Whittaker would be like i can't tell anyone i moved in with Santos or they'll find out i was secretly living in the hospital and Santos is like i can't tell anyone i let Whittaker move in with me that'll destroy my reputation. so they just silently agree to arrive at work separately and not discuss it at work.

eventually after like 6 months Whittaker lets it slip and everyone's very confused bcos firstly no-one thought they were friends and secondly why have they kept this totally normal thing a secret

Santos deffo gives big soccer lesbian vibes, I could see her playing field hockey or lacrosse too: the girls who run around in fields with sticks are brutal. but the gymnast idea really gives ties to the CSA Santos experienced, with a lot of people still remembering the Larry Nassar thing, and the Pitt really has to fit in maximum impact with details because they will never have a chance to devote more than a short convo onscreen to anyone’s personal life troubles. So it makes sense, even if Santos in cleats and sports bra feels more natural than Santos in a sparkly leotard

you're right, about all of this. honestly, the more i think about it, the more gymnast santos seems right for her character. i'm hoping we get to know more about her as a gymnast in the following season(s).

THE PITT + TRIVIA • from the cast & interviews (insp.)

i read a post somewhere that said something along the lines of “dr santos wants people to believe she doesn’t care but in reality she cares too much” and you can really see that when she invites whitaker over at her apartment. she lives alone in an apartment with a spare room. maybe it was a temporary situation, maybe she simply can afford it. it doesn’t really matter. she lives alone and it could stay that way if she just turned a blind eye. she could leave whitaker, pretend she didn’t see. people could argue that basically everyone in the pitt is kind enough to extend a landing hand and i believe that to be 100% true, but what matters is that dr santos did it. the one who everyone thought was heartless just for being arrogant. trinity santos saw this guy and said “fuck it. you’re coming with me. i’m not gonna stop making fun of you but if you don’t come with me now i’ll use my krav maga skills to bring you home myself.”

trinity santos the woman who had a close friend kill herself because of an abusive older man. trinity santos the woman who could’ve been that friend because mental illness has a hungry grip that spares no one. dr robby could be that person and dr santos doesn’t know. every single character could be that person and we wouldn’t even know because we, much just like dr santos, were allowed no more than a peek in these people’s lives. we only have a vague idea what they look like on the outside, what demons they’re fighting against. any day now, that person could be whitaker. could be any patient dr santos can’t save.

dr santos’ arrogance isn’t a lie, but it’s not a complete truth either; there are so many layers etched under her façade and it think whitaker is a great way to show that. they can be so beneficial to each other in terms of character exploration and development.
