Warning: The following contains spoilers for Wednesday’s Suits premiere.
Was Donna and Harvey’s kiss just a kiss, or the beginning of something more? According to Suits executive producer Aaron Korsh, it was both.
During Wednesday’s Season 7B premiere, Harvey was so rocked by the smooch Donna planted on him that he went running the other way and asked his girlfriend Paula to move in with him. But he left out the lip-lock part — not to mention the fact that he once slept with Donna! (He did confess the whole truth at the end of the episode.)
Meanwhile, the redhead said she felt nothing during the kiss, and an angry Harvey claimed he was only affected because of his issues with infidelity. The pair made amends after Donna apologized for crossing the line and Harvey acknowledged that she has often put him before herself. However, the storyline “is far from over between the two of them,” and will have “consequences on the relationship with Harvey and Paula,” Korsh tells TVLine.
Read on as the EP talks “Darvey’s” true feelings and previews Paula’s response.
TVLINE | The kiss cliffhanger played out with Donna and Harvey realizing that they didn’t have any romantic feelings for each other. Are they being completely honest with each other and with themselves?
Probably not to some degree. The Harvey and Donna story, obviously, is not over after Episode 11. The push and the pull that they have with each other, no matter where it ends, is not finished. It’s not finished in the long run, and it’s definitely not finished for these back six [episodes].
Harvey has very strong feelings about infidelity and things like that. What Donna did, it touched on that, and even if he had feelings for her, it just messed him up. It probably would’ve been different if she’d have said to him, “Harvey, do we have feelings for each other? Should you break up with Paula, I want to say that.” I don’t think she could’ve done that. I think she tried that before, so the kiss is what she had to do for herself. But because it was an actual crossing of a physical boundary, and Harvey is who he is, it messed him up vis-à-vis his relationship with Paula. It didn’t allow for him to necessarily access what he’s really feeling.
