‘The Pitt’ First Look: ‘SVU’s Dann Florek Meets Noah Wyle’s Robby (PHOTO)
Exclusive
This should be a welcome face, especially to Law & Order: SVU fans who were dealt a heartbreaking blow in September 2025 when the NBC drama revealed that Donald Cragen had died. Fortunately, his portrayer, Dann Florek, is very much still with us — and he’s on TV this week!
TV Insider has learned exclusively that Dann Florek will be guest-starring in the Thursday, March 26, episode of The Pitt. He plays Eddie Cohen, the husband of a patient who comes to the ER. Check out a first-look photo of him above with Noah Wyle‘s Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch. We have to admit, we love to see it — two stars from two hit ’90s shows together.
This comes as The Pitt is hitting hour 12 of Season 2 — and the previous episode ended on a shocking note, with nurse Emma (Laëtitia Hollard) being attacked by a patient under the influence, played by Travis Van Winkle.
Elsewhere in the shift, Robby (Wyle) continues to prepare for his upcoming three-month sabbatical on his motorcycle, something that has members of the staff concerned. Plus, Langdon (Patrick Ball) is back for his first shift after rehab, and it was in Episode 11 that he and Santos (Isa Briones), who was the first to notice something was off with him in Season 1, finally talked. He apologized, but she pointed out that very few people knew what happened, and if he really wanted to atone, he needed to tell everyone.
The official synopsis of Thursday’s episode reads: “After Dana [Katherine LaNasa] springs into action to defend her new trainee, a clash with Robby reveals her true feelings about his upcoming sabbatical. Then, Mohan [Supriya Ganesh] and King [Taylor Dearden] tend to an elderly couple in need of some extra help at home, Whitaker [Gerran Howell] tackles a case from a shuttered rural hospital, and the team sees yet another July 4th fireworks victim.”

The Pitt is still FANTASTIC and the most authentic depiction of an emergency department. I love that each episode deals with real problems, both physical and political.
As a retired RN .I appreciate each issue that is touched.At the end of each episode I can't believe it's finished until the next episode. I love everything about the show. The acting is fantastic.

To cloud 42: it might come to regular tv after the season ends. Thats what they did with season 1 after it ended. It was on tnt or something like that. It also went to hbo after it finished on hbo max. Keep looking for it on your tv guide app. Have not heard if theyre doing that with season 2. If anyone knows, please post that info.
