Megan Markle found herself excluded from the Suits reunion at the ATX TV Festival, with Gina Torres reportedly blocking her invitation.
Despite earlier speculation that Megan might return to portray her character, Rachel Zayn, the cast of Suits reunited at the Golden Globes, presenting the final TV Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Original cast members Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina Torres took the stage, marking four years since the show ended and its resurgence on Netflix.
The Suits cast reunion sparked interest, especially with the announcement of a spin-off, Suits: Los Angeles, featuring new characters and a possibility of some original stars making appearances. However, Gina Torres, who played Jessica Pearson, suggested on the Golden Globes red carpet that Megan Markle is no longer close to the cast, and there was no invitation extended to her for the event.
Despite this exclusion, a surprise reunion event was announced by the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas, from May 30th to June 2nd. However, Megan's name is noticeably absent from the list of guests, prompting speculation about her efforts to secure a personal presence at the event. Allegedly, Megan requested her agency to arrange her participation, emphasizing that her presence would enhance the reunion experience.
The revelation of Megan's exclusion generated discussions about her role in Suits and her perceived desire to remain in the spotlight. Critics argued that Megan's secondary role and reluctance to share the limelight could be reasons for her exclusion. Fans expressed their opinions in the comment section, with some questioning the iconic status of Suits compared to other shows and asserting that Megan's deliberate efforts to insert herself into the reunion lacked genuine entitlement.
In light of this situation, Megan's attempt to maintain importance and relevance was seen as a calculated move, particularly given the strong reactions and critical comments from observers. The discussion also touched upon the perceived mediocrity of Suits before Megan's entrance and the impact of her absence from the reunion on the show's significance.
