Interview
Can you expand on that? He got the girl, Donna is beside him, Louis is in agreement, how do you inject conflict at this point?
If you look to the relationships of the show, Donna is by his side but given their history and the fact that he’s with a new woman she doesn’t know if there’s potential there. Louis has agreed, but in the history of the show has Louis stood by anything permanently? What we set up at the end of season six and in the beginning of this season is that Harvey has made some decisions that are bold and possibly good, but that could also have consequences. He made a one-for-one deal with Mike to come back to the firm; we do a pro-bono, we do a corporate case. That wasn’t the most prudent thing to do — it’s like if you were the head coach of a football team and promised a player they could play both football and baseball. It’s possible your player could get injured doing that other thing and it could ruin your whole season. You never know what the deal you make is going to do. There is an inherent conflict between representing the interests of the downtrodden and the powerless and corporate law, which represents the interests of the powerful and exploitative. That decision will probably come back to bite them both in the ass.
