Fans of the popular HBO series The Pitt have been left heartbroken after reports emerged that claimed a main star from the beloved show had been fired.

Variety reported earlier this week thatTracy Ifeachor will not be returning as Heather Collins for the upcoming second season of the medical drama.

Sources told the publication that the decision was made by the ‘show’s creative team’ and that Tracy is not leaving ‘of her own accord.’

Immediately, fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their dismay over the news.

‘WHAT? She plays one of the best characters on the show,’ one upset user wrote.

‘Well that’s disappointing. I liked her. She could really convey a lot of emotion on her face,’ another added.

‘Well they need to fire the creative team and rehire her,’ someone else penned.

‘NOOOO,’ read a fourth tweet, while a fifth said, ‘This makes me mad.’

‘I’m really mad about this I really thought we were gonna explore more about her character next season,’ a different user quipped.

Another simply replied, ‘Mistake,’ to Variety’s post about it.

‘Why?!?!! Terrible decision to let her go,’ said someone else.

‘Great actress. Their loss,’ announced a different person.

Tracy’s character, Dr. Collins, was a senior resident in the emergency room who clashes with the main characterDr. Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch.

The actress has yet to confirm the news, but one day before Variety’s report came out she posted a cryptic message to Instagram reflecting on her time in the show.

‘What a blessing to be a part of this first and foundational season of #ThePitt on @hbomax,’ she wrote.

‘It was an absolute privilege to play Dr. Heather Collins in such a groundbreaking season and piece.

‘Thank you to everyone who has watched and supported season one and shared their stories with me.’
