Fans adore the on-screen relationships in the legal dramaSuits, whether it’s Mike and Rachel, Donna and Harvey, or even the beloved bromance between Mike and Harvey. However, the show seemingly fell short of delivering a compelling arc for the fan-favorite ‘Darvey’ pairing.
Before the release of Season 7, actor Gabriel Macht shared his thoughts on the on-screen couple, expressing his desire for the show to keep their relationship ambiguous. He preferred maintaining tension and uncertainty rather than providing a definitive resolution, suggesting that it would make their dynamic even more intriguing.
Gabriel Macht wanted to keep things ambiguous between Harvey and Donna inSuits
SuitsstarGabriel Machtshared his aspirations for one of the fan-favorite couples on the show, Donna and Harvey in a 2017 interview. While acknowledging that fans wanted to see them together, the actor expressed a preference for keeping the tension alive.
He toldHarper Bazaarin an interview,
The fans think that they want to see them together. My feeling is I’d like to see it left untold, where you never quite know: do they get together, do they not?
Furthermore, Macht emphasized that if Donna and Harvey were to end up together,“then it’s gotta be one of the last moments of the series.”The actor suggested that he was not interested in exploring the ups and downs of their relationship in a way that felt like“any other TV relationship.”
I don’t think you put them together and then have them break up and get back together, because then it just becomes any other TV relationship. I’d like to see them continue searching.
It seems the showrunners took his perspective into account, as Harvey and Donna’s (Sarah Rafferty) journey unfolded similarly to what Macht envisioned.Suitskept fans on a slow burn with their romantic tension throughout its run before finally bringing them together in the Season 8 finale.

Fans of the legal dramaSuitswere deeply invested in Harvey and Donna’s relationship and eagerly awaited the moment they would finally get together. While their union was shown in the series finale, much about their romantic dynamic remained unexplored.
With theupcoming spin-offSuits: L.A. on the horizon, featuring Gabriel Macht’s return as Harvey Specter, fans may finally get a glimpse into how things turned out for Harvey and Donna as a married couple.
