Fans of the hit show Suits were delighted when several key members of the cast reunited to present an award together at the 2024 Golden Globes, but the auspicious evening was missing Meghan Markle, who played Rachel Zane in the drama.
Chatting to reporters on the red carpet, Meghan’s former co-star Gina Torres was asked about the Duchess of Sussex, and if they had "texted" her to join them on Sunday night.
Interviewer Marc Malkin asked her: "You know, we have to talk about what’s happening today," to which she replied: "What’s happening today?"
Marc said: "Suits reunion! Everywhere I look, there’s a star from Suits! Did you plan this? Are you all texting each other?"
Gina replied: "Yeah, our text thread is insane right now!"
When asked about who texted Meghan to invite her to the Golden Globes, Gina said: "We don’t have her number. We just don’t, so… She’ll see, she’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here."
While Meghan didn't step out at this year's Golden Globes, HELLO! understands the Duchess was invited.
Meghan has always been very vocal about her pride in the show, which ran from 2011 to 2019 but recently enjoyed more success after landing on Netflix, becoming the streaming platform’s most-watched series. Chatting to Variety about the news, she said: "Is that right?! But who’s counting?"
She added: "It was great to work on, such a great cast and crew. We had a really fun time. I was on it for seven seasons, so quite a bit. But it’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days, so that could have something to do with it. But good shows are everlasting."
Taking to the stage to resent the Outstanding Drama Series category, Patrick J. Adams was joined by Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Gina. Joking about the show’s recent popularity, five years after the finale, Patrick said: "It’s hard to imagine having to wait so long to see your show get that kind of recognition."
The show has been so popular that there have been reports of a spin-off show in the works and one of the original members of the cast, Rachael Harris, opened up about it to HELLO! at the Women In Film Honors in LA on November 2023.
She explained: "There's already been little bits of talk about that so we'll see… I can't speak for any of them but I still see them all the time – Sarah Rafferty is a great friend, and Rick Hoffman is so wonderful. I would kill to work with any of them, they're all great."
