There isn’t a lot of time left to go before the new season of “Suits” starts airing, and it looks like fans of the show are about to be treated to a particularly exciting set of episodes this time. The show is no stranger to drama in general, and it’s managed to do a great job keeping its viewers on edge and maintaining a loyal following by always leaving something hanging. And now, season 5 is likely going to make things particularly difficult for some characters of the show.
The finale of season 4 brought up lots of questions, and it looks like some of them will be answered pretty early on in season 5, while we will have to wait a bit longer to see the resolution of others. We got hints that this season will show a more down to earth, “humanized” version of Harvey Specter, one of the show’s protagonists played by Gabriel Macht.
Macht’s character is that of a typical macho man, serious, competent and always concentrated on the task at hand, but this season might show him from a bit of a human side as the show will explore his softer character. Harvey will be shown visiting a therapist in order to deal with some of the issues going through his head, and she will play a central role in the plot of the new season.
Something else that will be explored in detail in this season is the relationship between Harvey and Donna which took a sour turn at the end of season 4, when Donna left the firm to go work with Louis Litt. She seems to still have strong feelings for Harvey however, so we might see some interesting developments on that front if Harvey decides to go after her. And so far, we have every reason to believe that he will not only do that, but he’ll also try to do everything in his power to get her back.
The show’s executive producer has recently said that they want to make an actual difference in the way they’re presenting the two characters, and there will be some changes in the plot structure in order to accommodate that, from what we could tell. We have no idea how exactly this is going to be approached, and there are certainly lots of possibilities, but it’s very possible that the relationship between Harvey and Donna is going to be explored in a lot more detail during this season, possibly even showing them becoming something more official.
