The second season of HBO Max’s ‘The Pitt’ brings Dr. Robby back to the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, working the last shift before he leaves for a three-month sabbatical. Since the entire season takes place over the course of a day, several new staff members have joined the hospital since the first season. This also means that new dynamics have developed between them, and the arrival of Nurse Noelle Hastings in the second episode of the series points towards new development in Robby’s life. SPOILERS AHEAD.
Nurse Noelle Hastings Brings the Spark of Romance in The Pitt Season 2
Noelle Hastings enters the picture in the second episode of ‘The Pitt’ Season 2, where she greets Robby and Cassie McKay while they discuss what’s next for a patient with a broken bone. The patient is being prepped for a surgery, but Noelle comes in to inform the doctors that he will be moved to a different hospital because that’s where his insurance works. It is revealed that she works as a case manager, which means that she has to take care of the nitty-gritty in the background so that the doctors can do their jobs without having to deal with the things that are out of their control.
What’s more interesting about Noelle’s introduction at this point in the story is that she seems to have a connection with Robby. McKay picks up on a weird vibe between them, and sure enough, as soon as she leaves, the duo confirms that they have been romantically entangled with one another. It is not revealed how long they have been with each other, but clearly, they are still keeping it a secret from others. However, there are some, like Dana, who seem to have picked up on what’s happening between them. Dana even warns Noelle to be cautious about this dalliance, though Noelle tells her that she can take care of herself.
Before parting ways with Robby, Noelle tells him to see her before he leaves later that night, while also lamenting that he could have left the next morning. He promises to see her before he leaves, which not only confirms that Noelle will be returning in the future episodes, but also hints at a strained development in her and Robby’s relationship. Perhaps she should have heeded Dana’s advice, but she is in too deep now, and there is a chance that she may have her heart broken by the end of the season.
Meta Golding Portrays the Enigmatic Noelle Hastings
Meta Golding plays the role of Nurse Noelle Hastings in the second season of ‘The Pitt.’ The Haitian-American actress is known for her roles in TV shows like ‘Ransom Canyon,’ ‘Criminal Minds,’ ‘Burn Notice,’ ‘House,’ ‘CSI,’ and ‘Empire,’ to name a few. She has also played the role of Rosa Parks in the 2018 movie, ‘Behind the Movement,’ while also starring in two ‘The Hunger Games‘ movies as the savage District 2 tribute, Enobaria. Before developing a love for acting, Golding was a competitive figure skater when she lived in Italy. Due to an injury, she had to leave that line of career, and she turned towards majoring in drama and government relations at Cornell University. While trying to find her break in Hollywood, she worked as a caterer with her friend, who was also a struggling actor at the time.
Eventually, the catering business took a backseat as roles in movies and TV shows started to pour in. While she has made a name for herself as an actor, playing a range of characters that display her diverse skills, she has also stayed true to her roots. She is politically outspoken and tries to use her platform as an artist to spread awareness about various issues, as she believes that one’s art should “reflect what’s going on in our culture.” She is also deeply invested in philanthropy, collaborating with organisations like the World Food Programme to combat hunger worldwide. In her personal time, she loves to be around friends and family. Having lived in different countries while growing up, she loves to explore the world and is an avid traveller.
