On the other hand, though, purposefully avoiding those conversations early on kept the Suits series finale spotlight (mostly) away from Meghan Markle, and instead fixed to the characters that viewers kept up with after Mike and Rachel left.
One the one hand, that’s obviously disappointing for any fans who were hoping against hope for Rachel to return one more time.
In any case, creator Aaron Korsh decided at one point in the journey that he would prefer to respect all professional and personal boundaries by putting his Markle request to pasture before it even made it to the bargaining table.
