Laëtitia Hollard Reveals the Emma Scene We Never Got in The Pitt

The Pitt enjoyed an outstanding first season run. It was critically acclaimed, scooped up a number of significant accolades, and also amassed a passionate fan base that came to care deeply for the characters. It’s an undeniably wonderful opportunity to get the chance to join the cast of a proven hit, but it also comes with a significant amount of pressure. Not only are you jumping aboard a fast-moving train on set, but you’re also challenged to craft a character that fans will come to love just as much as their Season 1 favorites. Laëtitia Hollard managed to do just that as nurse Emma in The Pitt Season 2.

Emma Nolan (Hollard) is fresh out of nursing school and is assigned to shadow the nurses at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s Emergency Department. Emma is essentially thrown into the deep end on July 4. Her first day on the job throws a vast array of challenges her way, including the task of preparing Louie (Ernest Harden Jr.) to be laid to rest, caring for a sexual assault victim, being attacked by a patient herself, and then some, and Emma navigates it all with a staggering amount of grace and kindness. Hollard turned Emma into an impossibly lovable character, leaving many with fingers crossed tight that she’ll return for Season 3.

While attending the 2026 Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans for her feature film debut, Larry Fessenden’s Trauma or, Monsters All, she took the time to sit down for a Collider Ladies Night interview to discuss the remarkable things she accomplished a mere year after graduating from the Juilliard School, Emma’s biggest moments in The Pitt Season 2, and her hopes for the character’s Season 3 storyline.
