Suits LA is set to premiere on Sunday (23 February), and while Gabriel Macht, who played Harvey Specter in the original, is set to feature in a few episodes of the new series, it is unknown if any other cast members will return.
But with the likes of Macht, Adams (Mike Ross), Gina Torres (Jessica Pearson) and Sarah Rafferty (Donna Paulsen) still in touch, Torres spoke about Markle at last year’s Golden Globes admitting ‘they don’t have her number’ as the four reunited at the event.However, Suits creator Aaron Korsh has now opened the door to a potential return for Markle, as well as other original cast members.
Markle’s character, Rachel Zane, moved to Seattle with on-screen husband Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams, to start their own law firm at the end of season seven.
While Markle never appeared on the show again for its remaining two seasons, Adams would become a recurring character in its final season.
Speaking on Thursday (20 February), Korsh hinted at the possibility of Markle returning, saying to People: “So, look, to me, we have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor.
“I think for me that’s a little … My brain blows up at the thought of that,” he admitted.
He added: “So I think it blows up the world too much, obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.
“But I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that,” he suggested.
Last year, Adams himself commented on Markle, her closeness with the rest of the cast and how close the pair are years on from their time on screen.
The actor behind fraudulent lawyer Ross has since started a podcast called Sidebar with former co-star Rafferty, who played Donna on the show.
He joined Reddit after starting the podcast to answer questions, and was asked if he knew how Markle was doing, and replied: “We are not really in touch.”
Adams went on: “She leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons. But upon hearing about the podcast. I got a lovely text, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way.
“So lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart,” he admitted.

Fans also asked if she would ever join the podcast as a guest, thought this wasn’t answered.
Adams seemed content with the message of support, and even revealed on the podcast that the pair had filmed a pilot together before, though it didn’t get picked up.
