In a recent interview, Gabriel Macht, the star of the hit American legal drama Suits, shared his thoughts on the potential return of Meghan Markle to the show.
Meghan, who gained fame as an actress before marrying into the British royal family in 2018, portrayed the character of Rachel Zane in Suits for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018.
However, upon marrying Prince Harry, she announced her retirement from acting to focus on her duties as a working member of the royal family.
Fast forward to 2020, Meghan and Harry decided to step back as senior working royals and relocated to the United States.
With the couple gradually reentering the public eye, rumors began circulating about Meghan’s possible return to acting, with speculation that she might even reprise her role as Rachel Zane.
Now, Gabriel Macht, who played the role of Harvey Specter in the series, has broken his silence on the matter.
During an interview with the Mirror at the Golden Globes, Gabriel was asked how much money it would take to bring Meghan back to Suits.
However, instead of addressing Meghan directly, Gabriel cleverly swerved the question and responded, “I think the question is, how much money would it take to bring me back?”
This response not only avoided discussing Meghan’s potential return but also highlighted Gabriel’s importance to the show.
In Suits, Gabriel’s character, Harvey Specter, is a former corporate attorney and the husband of Donna Paulson.
In season 2, he found himself in a gender discrimination case against Robert Zane, the father of paralegal Rachel Zane.
Gabriel subtly emphasized his own significance within the series, hinting that Meghan’s presence wasn’t the sole driving force behind its success.
It seems Gabriel isn’t the only one who prefers to focus on the show rather than Meghan’s involvement.
Gina Torres, who portrayed Jessica Pearson in Suits, was asked about the numerous cast members making waves in the industry.
She was questioned if there was any coordination or planning involved.
In response, Gina revealed that the cast had an active text thread but emphasized that they didn’t have a specific number.
She expressed her belief that Meghan would be pleased to see them thriving and acknowledged their presence at the Golden Globes.
Interestingly, Meghan was not included in the Suits cast reunion at the Golden Globes, which has led some to speculate that her acting career may be over.
Raw commentator Angela Levin took to social media to claim that Meghan and Harry were not invited to the awards ceremony, suggesting that the couple faced heavy criticism and mockery.
Comedian Joe Coy even took a jab at the Sussexes’ lucrative contract with Netflix during the event.
While the possibility of Meghan’s return to Suits remains uncertain, Gabriel Macht’s response and the absence of Meghan at the Golden Globes suggest that the focus is now on the show itself rather than her involvement.
As fans eagerly await any news of a major Suits reboot, it seems the spotlight has shifted away from Meghan’s acting career and onto the ongoing success of the series.
