Taylor Dearden weighs for @screenrant in on the Mel and Langdon dynamic, sharing why she believes a stable platonic friendship is far more powerful than a typical 'will-they-won't-they' romance: “Patrick and I actually completely agree [seeing the relationship as caring/platonic]. We talked about this second season with, once we heard that everyone was shipping [us], it was kind of like — one of my best friends is a straight guy, and some of his friends are straight women, and it's just like, ‘Why does that have to be a thing? Why can't we just be two people who are friends?’ And this idea that because we're opposite gender, and have the potential, I guess, in people's minds, to be attracted to each other, that that has to happen, which truthfully, I think it's way more powerful and more true to my life also to have just platonic friendships. Also, platonic friendships, it's very hard to break that up. It would take a huge falling out for that to end. I also like the idea of Mel having someone way more stable, and not having the will-they-won't-they, or anything like that, but the idea that, ‘Yeah, he'll be there.’ He'll be there for her, and she'll be there for him. And the other romantic stuff, I don't know, we didn't ever think of it that way. And also, it's weird to me because he is married with two children, and it just feels like, ‘Well, that's something I don't think Langdon or Mel would ever do.’ Also, really like the friendship thing. Both Patrick and I, we understand, but we're not bummed, but a little bit bummed, because it's like, ‘Oh, we thought we were portraying a unique thing to see on TV, because you always see shipping, but you don't see platonic friends,’ and we both kind of wanted that. I get it, though. It's kind of a trope. It would be a trope, and I don't think The Pitt really does trope stuff like that.”
