A day after USA announced that Meghan Markle and Patrick J Adams are officially leaving the show at the end of this season that debuts on March 28th, they announced that Katherine Heigl is joining the show for its 8th season which begins filming in April. They revealed that she will playing “Samantha Wheeler, a talented new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who challenges the status quo and will either become the firm’s greatest ally…or most powerful enemy.”
Heigl is second person to join the legal drama, who also starred on last season’s failed show Doubt. Dule Hill co-starred with her on the CBS legal drama that was pulled after just 2 episodes. Which makes you wonder what they are thinking?
I like Heigl, but she is very polarizing. With Suits losing two of its beloved characters, you would think they would want to get someone that would make people want to tune in and not tune out. People tune in for Hill, who has already proven himself on Suits, but I do not think that Heigl can do the same. Which makes me think that the next season of Suits might be its last. Unless they give Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) and Gretchen (Aloma Wright) more scenes together. I love their pairing!
What do you think of Heigl suiting up for Suits?
