Hi! I made this Dramione video about eight years ago, and today I came across a post asking for a Beauty and the Beast-inspired fanfic. It immediately reminded me that I had made this edit all those years ago!

I figured this would be the perfect place to share it again. It’s definitely a little nostalgic looking back at one of my older edits, but I still have a soft spot for it.

I hope you enjoy it, and maybe it brings back some memories for anyone who’s been in the fandom for a while. 💛

This article makes some very interesting points, but apparently this is Samira’s fate in Season 3:

“The issue isn't whether The Pitt can justify her exit narratively. I mean, it probably can; the actress is slated to have minimal screen-time in the first few episodes of Season 3 to close her character's story out, which will see her choose a medical department that is not the ER, which she finds too demanding”.

If what the article says is true and she’s really leaving the ER, then they’ve completely wasted a great character and a great story.

The article says it’s because the job is too demanding, but if they’re really talking about Samira Mohan (and the author did not mistake her with Javadi), then the writers and I see this character in completely different ways. Season 1 already proved that she does belong in emergency medicine, that she can do it, and that she has what it takes. The whole point of her arc was that she grew, adapted, and thrived when given the right mentorship and environment.

And it’s not just something the character herself showed on screen. The actress has talked about it, and many of the people who worked with her, including cast members, have described Samira as someone who absolutely belongs there and has the potential to become an excellent ER doctor.

So if this is really the direction they’re taking, then they completely missed what made her journey so compelling in the first place.

Some quotes that are important for me from this article:

Supriya Ganesh reiterates that the “creative decision” to write Mohan off was made by executive producers Gemmill, Wyle & John Wells: "They work with such intention on the show & make all the choices that they make for that reason, so I think it’s better to ask them for answers."

Isa Briones: "The entertainment business constantly feels like a boys’ club that you cannot penetrate no matter what you do, because it’s still always going to be these older white men who are making all the decisions."

Sepideh Moafi: "As a woman in any field, if you express emotion, if you make your opinion or your voice heard, then it’s like, ‘You’re talking too much. You’re being hysterical.’"
