(Spoilers) Allen plays Roxie Hamler in The Pitt‘s second season, a young mother with terminal cancer who is admitted to the ER contemplating ending it all. Roxie’s arc started as a six-episode role, grew to eight scripted episodes, and then lost its final one — the death scene never made air. Emmy rules split guest and supporting categories by episode count, and losing that scene held Allen under the line: seven aired episodes instead of eight, keeping her in guest actress rather than bumping her to supporting. “When I saw that they just had her pass away off camera, first of all, I tho
