Suits: Major Character Exit Won’t Necessarily Be The Last We’ll See of [Spoiler]

A major character is leaving Suits, but it doesn’t mean that will be the last we’ll see of them.

If you haven’t yet watched the Suits mid-season finale, stop here, go watch, then come back.

Spoilers below!

At the end of Suits Season 6 Episode 10, one character makes a surprising decision that will send the show in an entirely new direction.

Say goodbye to Pearson Specter Litt, because after working on Leonard Bailey’s case, Jessica Pearson has decided she no longer wants to practice corporate law.

It’s an emotional goodbye, but it also means a new journey for her character as it gives her the chance to move to Chicago with Jeff, and maybe even try getting back to practicing the kind of law she always planned on.

According to a statement, this was a personal decision for Gina Torres after playing a role she believes is inspirational. “Playing Jessica Pearson has been one of the greatest rides of my career,” Torres said.

“It isn’t often that an actress gets the opportunity to embody so rich a character. Thanks to Aaron Korsh’s wonderful writing and his singular vision of Jessica, I believe that together we created a woman who has everything. Real power, wealth, intelligence, intuitive wisdom, humor, unapologetic female sexuality and, arguably, the best wardrobe in all of television.”

“Because of all these qualities, I have not only been able to entertain Suits fans but, with much pride and awe, I can say I have also inspired quite a few future Jessicas as well as shined a light on real-life Jessica Pearsons who are out in the world at this very moment, owning their place at the head of the table — not unlike our real Queen at USA/Universal Cable Productions, Bonnie Hammer, a force of nature who has been one of Jessica’s biggest fans and supporters, as well as a true blessing in my own life as an example of what grace in power looks like. And that is a glorious thing,” Torres continued.

Her decision to leave, though is largely based on the fact that the show is filmed in Toronto.

“And so leaving the show was indeed a difficult decision to make,” Torres stated. “However at this time, it is necessary to get back to my life and all the very important things that being on location in Toronto made very difficult to manage,” Torres said.

“I can’t thank USA enough for being so understanding and supporting me in my choice and so I am incredibly grateful,” she continued. “Having said that, I don’t believe for one second it’s the last we’ll see of Jessica Pearson. Not. For. One. Second. And don’t you either.”
