‘Suits’ Spoilers: Will Harvey Reconnect With His Family In Season 6B?

Fans may see Harvey (Gabriel Macht) reconnect with his family in the back six episodes of “Suits” Season 6.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Macht said that Harvey is “reeling” in the aftermath of Jessica’s departure from Pearson Specter Litt. Although Macht pointed out that Harvey is “sort of happy and feeling good” that Mike (Patrick J. Adams) is finally out of prison, the 45-year-old actor revealed that his character is also feeling “a sense of abandonment” due to Jessica’s decision to leave New York and live with her lover Jeff Malone (D.B. Woodside) in Chicago.

Although Macht didn’t openly say that Harvey is going to pay his family a visit in the next batch of episodes, the “Recruit” actor did mention that Harvey reconnecting with his family might help him work out his abandonment issues and allow himself to “grow and move forward … and maybe figure out how to have a relationship.”

“Suits” creator Aaron Korsh told TVLine in December that Jessica’s resignation from the law firm gives “an opportunity for Harvey to undergo some personal growth” in the remaining episodes of the season. “We talked, as writers, about what that means,” Korsh shared. “Does it mean he goes back to therapy? Does it mean he deals with his mother? Does it mean he gets into a deeper relationship with Donna (Sarah Rafferty)? All of these possibilities were tossed around … and we ended up picking one or some of them.”

Viewers learned more about Harvey’s complicated family life in the Season 5 summer finale, in which it was revealed that Harvey’s mom was cheating on his dad. Although Harvey originally had no plans to reveal his mom’s secret, an intense boxing match with his dad led him to divulge everything he knew about his mom’s affair. Since then, members of the Specter family have been estranged from one another, and Harvey has been blaming himself for it.
