Today
I had a conference call opportunity with the creator and showrunner of Suits,
Aaron Korsh. The interview was highly informative and entertaining. I was able
to ask 2 different questions during the interview.
My
first question was submitted by Allison Sophie and was “What can we expect to
see in terms of a backstory of Donna and Harvey and how does their relationship
play into the grand scheme of things?” Aaron started off with the second part
of the question in saying that he didn’t expect Donna and Harvey to get
together anytime soon. He also talked about one of the more odd things on the
show, “the can opener”. He mentioned it, but refused to explain it because he
didn’t think it would quite have the magic it does if everyone knew what it
meant. He said that people don’t want to know what it is… they want to, want to
know what it is.” You might have to reread that one if it seems weird in
writing. He also said that the most important Donna/Harvey episode is going to
be 2.09 which is called “Asterisk”.
My
second question was a follow up and I asked “What do you think Harvey and Donna’s
relationship does to Harvey’s opinion of Mike and Rachel?” He thought it was a
great question and went into what he saw Harvey’s morals as. He said he didn’t
think that Harvey cared about Mike and Rachel being together as much as “the
secret”. He said that if the two of them being together meant Mike had to tell
her he wouldn’t allow it. Aaron said that what he likes about Harvey is that he doesn't care about other people’s moral choices unless they affect him.
I’ll
get the transcript up as soon as possible but I will fill everyone in on some of
the more interesting things. He said that at the beginning of the show Jessica’s
character was a man. He also said that there was a storyline set for season 2
that was cut where Louis… finds out Mike’s secret. This is just my thinking but
I think this might happen sometime in the future. Look out Mike! Aaron Korsh
