Gina Torres Denies Meghan Markle’s Return in Suits Reboot
Meghan Markle, known for her role as Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama Suits, is making headlines once again.
The television network NBCUniversal has greenlit a spin-off series titled Suits Los Angeles, sparking rumors of Markle's potential return to television.
It is reported that Markle could command a hefty sum of $200,000 per episode for her involvement in the spin-off, a deal orchestrated by her talent agency WME.
The buzz around her comeback has stirred excitement among fans, eager to see her back on the small screen with a dazzling wardrobe and captivating performance.
However, recent reports suggest a different narrative.
Two members of the original Suits cast, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres, have refuted claims of Markle's involvement in a rumored reboot of the series.
In an exclusive interview with Neil Sean, the actors expressed their reservations about working with Markle, citing her lack of experience as a director and casting doubt on the feasibility of her episode ever coming to fruition.
Torres, known for her sharp retorts, emphasized her stance against Markle's alleged directorial role, while Gabriel Macht made his disinterest in discussing the matter evident at a recent event.
The rift within the Suits cast seems to stem from Markle's transition from actress to Duchess of Sussex.
Sources suggest that Markle harbors resentment towards her former colleagues, perceiving their roles as superior to hers during her time on the show.
The dynamics have shifted dramatically, with the once ensemble-driven series now seemingly overshadowed by Markle's royal status.
The recent Superbowl commercial featuring the Suits Union without Markle further fueled speculation about her exclusion from the upcoming reboot.
In a surprising turn of events, Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty reunited for a commercial promoting ALF Cosmetics during the Superbowl.
Directed by Zach Woods, the ad features the trio endorsing the brand's Halo Glow liquid filter complexion booster, hinting at a fresh chapter post-Suits.
The absence of Markle in the commercial has raised questions about her involvement in the new iteration of the series, rumored to introduce a lineup of new characters with limited scope for original cast cameos.
As discussions around the Suits reboot continue to unfold, it becomes evident that Markle's return may not be as imminent as initially speculated.
The creator's early statements ruling out the Duchess's participation in the project signal a shift in direction for the beloved series.
While fans remain divided over the prospect of Markle reprising her role, the dynamic between the original cast members and the evolving narrative of Suits Los Angeles add layers of intrigue to the unfolding saga.
