Suits Makes a Comeback: Surprising Goodbyes Shake Fans
The world of suits, secrets, and legal drama made a powerful return through streaming services. However, when the show first graced the screens on the USA Network between 2011 and 2019, it had its share of unexpected character farewells that left viewers stunned.
It took some time for the characters Rachel Zane (played by Meghan Markle) and Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) to confess their love for each other. But after season 7, both members of the onscreen couple chose to bid adieu to their roles.
The decision for Markle to leave was guided by a sense of care, as shared by the show’s creator, Aaron Korsh. He recalled in 2017 during an interview with the BBC, “We chose to prioritize positive happenings in Meghan’s life, which likely meant her departure from the show.” This decision, influenced by her relationship with Prince Harry, was considered thoughtfully. Korsh explained, “We planned for this scenario, which is much easier to reverse if needed, rather than assuming she’d stay forever and then facing her departure unexpectedly. The only way to write her character out like that would be through an unlikely event, like getting hit by a bus.”
However, the character’s exit didn’t involve any dramatic twists like that. The paralegal didn’t meet an unfortunate end on the show.
