In a surprising twist, Meghan Markle appears to have been left out in the cold when it comes to the highly anticipated spinoff of the hit series, Suits.
As fans eagerly await the launch of Suits LA, it seems Markle won’t be making a return to the show that once made her a household name.
Instead, the spotlight is on Gabriel Macht, who played the iconic character Harvey Specter in the original series.
Macht’s return has generated buzz, especially since he had previously remained tight-lipped about his involvement.
His character will now share a narrative connection with the new lead, Ted Black, portrayed by Stephen Amell.
Both characters are former prosecutors from New York, which adds an intriguing layer to the spinoff.
However, Macht’s role will be limited to a guest appearance, not a full-time comeback.
This development raises questions about Markle’s absence.
Just a few months ago, rumors circulated that she was struggling to book guests for her Lemonada podcast, leading her to reach out to former co-stars for help.
Allegedly, her attempts to reconnect with the Suits cast have not gone well, as many feel she has ghosted them since her royal transition.
Sources suggest that Markle’s recent overtures were met with reluctance.
Some former colleagues reportedly found her offers to interview them for her podcast somewhat insulting, given her past behavior.
The sentiment seems to be that loyalty to her roots is lacking, and this has created a rift between her and her former castmates.
While it’s unclear which actors Markle reached out to, it’s reasonable to assume she contacted key figures like Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, and Sarah Rafferty.
Yet, the overall feeling among the Suits alumni appears to be one of disinterest in rekindling those old connections.
The irony is palpable; after distancing herself from the show for years, Markle now seems eager to reconnect, but under less-than-favorable circumstances.
An insider noted that Markle would need to do significant damage control if she hopes to mend fences with her former co-stars.
This comes on the heels of a reunion at the Golden Globes earlier this year, where Torres made it clear that Markle was not invited.
Her absence was felt, and it seems her former colleagues have moved on without her.
Adding fuel to the fire, royal commentator Angela Levin reported that Markle had turned down an opportunity to appear in Suits LA due to a disagreement over production credits for her company, Archewell.
This refusal highlights a growing disconnect between Markle and the show that once launched her career.
As it stands, Markle’s aspirations to return to the Suits universe seem dashed.
With Macht set to make his mark in the new series while she sits on the sidelines, the question remains: did she truly want to be part of Suits LA, or was it merely a strategic move to regain relevance?
The landscape of celebrity and media continues to shift, and Markle’s attempts to revive her connections with the Suits cast appear to be falling flat.
The spinoff is moving forward without her, leaving fans to wonder what might have been had the circumstances been different.
In the world of entertainment, timing is everything.
Markle’s previous decisions and her current struggles to connect with her past may serve as a cautionary tale about the importance of maintaining relationships in an industry that can turn on a dime.
With Suits LA gearing up for its debut, all eyes will be on how the new cast dynamics play out—without Markle’s influence.
It’s a stark reminder that while some doors close, others open, and sometimes, those left behind must reckon with their choices.
