Suits
Summary
Suitscreator Aaron Korsh contingent one direction the hit legal dramedy could have been very different , explain the change he made . Debuting in June 2011 and originally airing on the USA connection , Suitsbegan by focalise onMike Ross ( Patrick J. Adams ) , a college dropout who never attended law school , and Harvey Specter ( Gabriel Macht ) as they successfully win and close case while also blot out Mike ’s secret . As Korsh tell it , however , that key dynamic could have been virtually unrecognizable thanks to suggestions from executives .
In an audience on theHollywood & Levinepodcast to discuss the show ’s stream revitalization , which has led to aSuitsspinoff seriesbeing developed , Korsh shared that he received suggestions to change the kinship between Harvey and Mike . principally , the suggestion was for Harvey and Mike to have more of a father - and - Logos bond rather than the brotherly moral force that end up on - CRT screen . It was also noted that Harvey should be Old , in his mid-fifties . Korsh explains why he drive back against those suggestions in the quote below :
This is what happen . I do n’t know that I ’ve ever told this report . But we had gone through a mass of people . to begin with the networ envisioned the Harvey / Mike thing , I think , as like a Father-God - son [ dynamic ] . Then I envisioned it as brother . Right . So we had a gulf , and they were want older guys to be Harvey .
I just cerebrate — a couple of affair . I did n’t like the relationship of father and Word as much . But I also thought … if this guy is 50 days old and still hitting on women , and … like , I just did n’t conceive that was like , that ’s , that ’s not smashing , correct ? As opposed to , you ’re in your mid - former 30s . You ’re a little stunted . You have growing to do . But you ’re not like 50 years one-time living that single , you have a go at it , womanizing biography . So we went through so many weeks , we audition a gross ton of citizenry , and it was hard to get agreement and whatever .
Harvey’s Change Was A Big Help To Suits
Korsh goes on to explain that once Macht was in disceptation to wreak Harvey , the good path for the character became exculpated . While it ’s arguable that Harvey make a fatherly opinion of Mike could have worked , other aspects ofSuitswould not have been the same . Harvey ’s kinship with Donna Paulsen ( Sarah Rafferty)likely would not have emerged as a fan - favorite coupling for the reason that the Godhead citation .
While those changes are speculative , it ’s undeniable that making Harvey younger at last helps the future ofSuits . The upcoming continuation is not a revival , reboot , or strict prolongation in the vein of theshort - livedPearson . It will be set in the same overall population , with potential crossover with originalSuitscharacters . Harvey , for instance , terminate the original by reunify with Mike in Seattle . That , too , might ’ve changed if Harvey was position as a importantly old mentor chassis .
suit of clothes end on a gamey note for all characters , but Louis was the top winner as he basically gets everything he ’s ever wanted at the show ’s end .
There was always , of trend , a bit of hierarchy toSuits . Korsh ’s change , however , gave some distance for the show ’s co - leads to originate a more born friendship . It in routine impacted the rest of the supporting players , include Rick Hoffman , Meghan Markle , Rafferty , Amanda Schull , and Gina Torres . It illustrate how fundamentally a series can shift from the initial pitching process .
