Golden Globes saw many delightful moments, and one particular one of those came as a great surprise for the fans of the TV show ‘Suits‘. The star cast of the show, including Gabriel Macht, Patrick J Adams, Gina Torres and Sarah Rafferty gifted the show’s fans with a mini reunion while presenting an award.
This came after ‘Suits’ rose to a sudden fame in the past year, much later after it ended. The sudden surge in viewership was seen on streaming platforms like Netflix and Peacock after the show started streaming there. The show’s cast also acknowledged this and thanks the audience. But one chief missing element in this reunion was Meghan Markle. It has now been revealed why she was absent.

Discussing the sudden popularity of Suits, Macht said it did not realy come as a surprise for him. “The show resonates with people,” he said. “I think people like to watch people in an office or a family and they’re working it out. I think it resonates.The show was a big hit when we shot it, and it was a hit around the world, and then [on] Netflix… it’s a new generation that comes in and sees it and goes, ‘Wow, this is incredible.’ I think people are just catching up,” he added.
The ‘Suits’ cast also revealed that they stay connected through a text chain even after the show ended in 2019. Patrick J. Adams remarked how it is particularly difficult to keep up with Gabriel Macht.
Adams, who played Michael Ross on the show, said, “Mostly, I’m just trying to get Gabriel to respond. Honestly, he’s slow on the text, and he has like six different numbers now because he lives in England. So, we’re just trying to find out which number works.”
Though Meghan Markle’s absence left a Rachel Zane-shaped void in the reunion, the ‘Suits’ family and their fans across the globe have definitely had a celebratory moment on the Golden Globes stage.
