‘Suits’ season 5 spoilers: Does Louis Litt have feelings for Donna?
For the most part, our understanding of “Suits” lore is such that it appears that Harvey and Donna are the pair destined to be together at the end of the series. Maybe that doesn’t happen, but the narrative so far has been presented as such and we root for them. Yet, we also acknowledge and understand why there would be support for Louis and Donna, as well. They have such a unique relationship for this show. Then they are fighting, it is soul-crushing; however, when things between the are good, they have one of the best partnerships and friendships arguably on all of TV. The whole storyline regarding the theater remains one of our favorite subplots the show has ever done.
So is it at least possible that something romantic could surface on the show eventually between the two? The answer to that is somewhat yes and no. As Rick Hoffman tells Zap2It leading up to the show’s Wednesday premiere, there could be a part of Louis that has these feelings, but the fact that Donna is in love with someone else would render it almost impossible:
“You love someone so much and it’s professional in the work place but you value them so much and respect them so much, I can’t imagine there not being something … Let’s put it this way: does Louis know right now? No. If you were told that later on down the line that Louis realizes he has feelings for Donna, how shocked would you be? For him to be turned off by Donna is bulls***.
“It’s a little unrealistic just because she’s in love with Harvey. Ultimately, where do you really go with that storyline? … We know that Louis likes women and I just don’t understand how Louis could not be attracted to a woman like Donna, somewhere in there.”
So for ‘shippers, maybe it all is just wishful thinking, and we’re not sure if the show will ever explicitly go there anyway. There is already enough of a reason for there to be a rivalry between Harvey and Louis without even mentioning the notion of what Louis’ feelings are. Also, doing love triangles properly can be a very tricky thing to pull off.
