The highly anticipated reunion of the Suits cast at the Golden Globes on Sunday has generated excitement among fans for the upcoming LA-based spin-off show.
One particular aspect that has sparked intrigue is a role that seems to have been tailor-made for Meghan Markle.
However, it has now been confirmed by Suits creator Aaron Corr that the part will be played by Aja Naomi King.
In his new show, which revolves around the lives and relationships of individuals working in a Hollywood law firm, Corr has created a character named Erica.
Meghan’s camp had hoped that Erica would be the perfect fit for her.
Erica is an African-American woman in her 30s, focused on her career, exceptionally intelligent, and leading an eventful personal life.
However, a source close to Aaron Corr recently leaked on Blind Item that Aja Naomi King will be taking on the role of Erica.
King, known for her roles in Lessons in Chemistry and How to Get Away with Murder, is no stranger to playing strong female characters in the legal field.
Joining the cast of Suits is a natural progression for her, as she expressed her admiration for the show and its cast during an interview with USA Network.
While Meghan Markle had previously set her sights on pursuing philanthropy and entrepreneurship, recent reports suggest that she is now seeking a return to acting due to financial constraints.
Unfortunately for her, she has been removed from the Suits cast.
It appears that she may view acting as beneath her, except for her occasional appearances at awards ceremonies and public events.
With limited options available, Meghan finds herself in a challenging position.
Even if she were to write a memoir, it is uncertain whether it would be well-received, regardless of her stance on the royal family.
Speaking positively about them would expose her as a hypocrite and a liar, while criticizing them further would only tarnish her reputation.
The walls seem to be closing in on her rapidly.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that Meghan does not fit the description of Erica.
Contrary to claims, she is not African-American nor in her 30s.
In Hollywood, her age would typically limit her to roles such as a grandmother, a cranky old lady at a retirement home, or at best, the older boss or mentor of the lead character.
Critics have often questioned Meghan’s acting abilities, suggesting that she falls short in even the simplest roles.
Whether it’s portraying carefree dancing at a Beyoncé concert or casually walking through a parking lot, her every move appears contrived.
She has yet to secure a dish soap commercial, let alone convince audiences to watch, buy, or listen to her.
As Aaron Corr makes the decision to cast Aja Naomi King in the role of Erica, the anticipation for the new season of Suits grows.
Fans eagerly await the fresh dynamics and compelling performances that King will bring to the show.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle faces an uphill battle in reclaiming her acting career and repairing her damaged reputation.
