Patrick Ball is showing some love to his girlfriend and scene partner, Elysia Roorbach.
The Pitt actor, who plays Dr. Frank Langdon in the medical drama, was recently joined on-screen by Roorbach for the second season's third episode on Thursday, Jan. 15.
The pair shared a scene together when Langdon triaged Roorbach's character, a patient who accidentally got her eye glued shut while attempting to apply false eyelashes.
Not long after the episode debuted, Ball shared a special tribute to Roorbach on his Instagram Stories, honoring her first television role. The actor reposted another user's story, which featured a series of screenshots from Roorbach's cameo.
"So so honored to get to play with [Elysia] again in her TV DEBUT!!" Ball, 36, wrote over the post. "Even if she didn't want anything to do with me. Boo killed it."

Ball previously revealed that The Pitt fans would get a glimpse or two of Roorbach while speaking with HELLO! on Friday, Jan. 9.
"It was a dream. We get to turn around and play pretend together again: I get to be her doctor, and [her character] wanted nothing to do with me, and that also felt right,” Ball told the outlet.
He added that he had "nothing to do with" Roorbach landing the role, and that she "auditioned the old-fashioned way and got the job and it was a real dream come true."
The couple first met when they were both working on a stage production of Las Aventuras de Juan Planchard in Miami. They recently celebrated their two-year dating anniversary, as Roorbach toasted the milestone in a post on Instagram.
"Doing some walking and jumping around in the woods to celebrate 2 amaze years of walking and jumping around in many different woods together 🧡 love you so Patty," Roorbach wrote in the caption, alongside several images from their hikes together.
She added that the last two slides — both of Ball with his arms stretched toward the sky — were taken two years apart, in Miami and in Sequoia.
