Adams recently launched aSuitsrewatch podcastwith castmateSarah Rafferty, who starred as Donna Paulsen on the legal drama, where they discuss inside details of old episodes.

In October, she opened up to PEOPLE about heronscreen romancewith Macht’s Specter, revealing they even made a bet about whether their characters would end up together.

“I don’t think anybody ever knew [Donna and Harvey] were going to be an end game,” she explained. “I had a conversation once with Gabriel, but there was a point maybe right before season 9, where he was like, ‘I think they’re going to do this. They’re going to get the characters together.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t think so.'”

“So I lost the bet is what I’m saying,” she joked. “I did not think it was going to happen.”

Although Adams and co-star Meghan Markle left the show after season 7, Rafferty and Macht stayed for all nine seasons spanning 134 episodes. The series had a resurgence in popularity in 2023 when it was added to Netflix,racking up 3 billion viewing minuteswithin the first week on the streaming platform.
