The entertainment world is buzzing with news that Meghan Markle, known for her role as Rachel Zane in the popular series Suits, is reportedly feeling disappointed after discovering that her character will not be making a return in the upcoming Suits reboot.
Meghan, who rose to fame portraying Rachel Zane before transitioning into royalty, was not even considered for a role in the spin-off titled Suits LA, which is being developed by the show’s creator Aaron Korsh with an all-new cast.
Despite speculations of a potential comeback to the screen, it seems that Korsh has made a conscious decision to exclude Meghan from the project.
Close friend Rachel Harris reached out to Korsh directly to inquire about Meghan’s involvement, only to receive a clear indication that Meghan was not part of his vision for the new series.
This revelation has left many in disbelief – can you imagine, Korsh dismissing the idea of having Meghan reprise her iconic role?
It appears that Korsh is determined to establish Suits LA as a standalone entity, separate from Meghan’s previous association with the original series.
However, given that Rachel’s character was a standout presence in Suits, it raises eyebrows that Korsh is essentially erasing her from the show’s narrative.
The disconnect between Meghan and her former co-stars, such as Patrick J Adams, who played her love interest on the show, further highlights this distancing trend.
Recently, Adams disclosed that he and Meghan no longer stay in touch, indicating a shift in their relationship dynamics.
This pattern extends to Meghan’s former best friend Gina Torres, who attended her royal wedding but later hinted at a loss of connection.
It seems that Meghan’s journey towards royalty has led her to drift away from her past associates, leaving behind a trail of broken connections.
Gina Torres, known for her role as Jessica Pearson in Suits, was one of the first cast members to comment on her interactions with Meghan following the show’s resurgence last year.
During a red carpet interview at the Golden Globes in January 2024, Torres shared insights on the cast’s communication as they prepared for the event, revealing a lack of direct contact with Meghan.
Despite the absence of ongoing dialogue, Torres expressed optimism about Meghan’s awareness and support for their reunion.
In another instance of cast members reflecting on their relationship with Meghan, Gabriel Macht and Patrick J Adams, who portrayed key characters in Suits, discussed their current communication status with Meghan during a joint interview.
Macht acknowledged Meghan’s public support for the show’s revival, while Adams revealed a lack of recent communication with her.
This evolving dynamic hints at a shifting landscape among the Suits alumni.
As preparations for the Suits spin-off progress, with production set to commence in Vancouver by the end of March 2024, new details emerge about the cast of Suits LA.
Stephen Amell, known for his role in Arrow, has been cast in the lead role of Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who reinvents himself as a powerful attorney in Los Angeles.
The series promises to delve into Black’s complex persona, characterized by a self-centered approach to his legal practice, alongside the challenges faced by his longstanding law firm.
