Gina Torres Leaves Suits | Why Did Gina Torres Leave Suits?

Published; Sept. 15, 2016

Jessica Pearson — the queen bee of Pearson Specter Litt, the beleaguered law firm at the heart of the series — saved the life of a death-row inmate. Then she saved her own sanity, by quitting.

The episode, which added another twist to the tumultuous sixth season of the USA Network legal drama, marks the end, for now, of a character that had been with “Suits” from the beginning. For Gina Torres, the actress who plays her, the departure kicks off a new career chapter. She has joined “The Catch,”the stylish ABC private-investigation series from Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, returning for its second season early next year.

“My contract was up, so this wasn’t a power play that went terribly wrong,” Ms. Torres said about her decision to leave “Suits.” After years of traveling between the show’s Toronto set and Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband, the actor Laurence Fishburne, and their daughter, the actress was ready for a change. “My personal life needed to be tended to,” she said.

So, the big question: Why now?

Gina Torres: I think the public doesn’t understand the rigors of shooting a show for an actor, much less when you’re on location and away from home. At one point I approached Aaron [Korsh, the showrunner,] and said: “It’s not that I don’t love the show and love Jessica, who is my alter ego. But my life is my life, and I need to take care of it.” And everyone was completely supportive.

Once you had decided to leave, what came next?

Gina Torres: Leaving was hard, especially when I do so with a heavy heart. And knowing the ambivalence of that moment, they left it open-ended so she doesn’t die. But what was so beautiful and poetic about how we’ve decided to end it is she’s going to find her bliss. After all this time, she is not breaking with anything we’ve come to expect from Jessica Pearson. Anybody might say — “But she has everything!” Well, maybe she doesn’t, and she needs to figure out what’s missing and what’s going to make her happy.

Does the fact that Jessica is following Jeff Malone, her former law and romantic partner, to Chicago leave the door open for a return?
