Patrick J. Adams Reveals How 'Suits' Will Address Meghan Markle's Absence When He Returns

Patrick J. Adams will be returning to Suits for the fifth episode in the upcoming ninth and final season, though his on-screen love interest Meghan Markle won’t be there.

The 37-year-old actor says that the show will address where Rachel Zane is during the episode.

“For Mike, this is just a trip to New York,” Patrick told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s in Seattle, [Mike and Rachel] are building their life together, it sounds like he’s doing well.”

“It seems to me like Mike’s in a great place. Whatever is happening in Seattle is really good,” Patrick said. “There’s phone calls with Rachel saying, ‘Goodbye, I love you,’ and, you know, I think there’s some obvious acknowledgment that she’s still there and a part of the show.”

Patrick says that Mike and Rachel are “good” as a couple. He said, “We’re happy. I promise you they’re happy.”
