Warning: Spoilers ahead for Suits LA episode 9.Gabriel Macht's return as Harvey Specter in Suits LA has been heartwarming, but it has also added some tragedy to his character. Harvey will not be the only Suits character to appear in Suits LA, but his comeback has obviously received a lot of attention. Harvey's role in the Suits LA episode 9 has now revealed an important detail about his personal life.

The Suits LA characters have been the focus of the show, but when someone like Harvey comes into the mix, it's difficult for him not to naturally steal the spotlight. While it was fun to revisit Harvey, we have also discovered that he has suffered a major loss. After what was presented in Suits LA episode 9, there might not be more to say for Harvey's character, who is now in a very different chapter of his life following yet another family loss.

Harvey No Longer Has Any Biological Family Left After Marcus' Death

Harvey's Parents Died In Suits

Suits LA episode 9 featured two significant updates for Harvey. The first was that he and Donna have a young son who has a close relationship with Harvey, a sweet testament to the couple's loving marriage. The second was that his brother, Marcus, ed away a few years ago. While Marcus was not a major character on Suits, his brief but meaningful appearances revealed that Harvey cared about him deeply, making his loss very difficult. Marcus' death likely comes from the announcement that the actor who played him, Billy Miller, ed away in 2023.

Earlier seasons of Suits revealed that Harvey's parents had also died, both of a heart attack in separate circumstances. Despite both of them ing away, Harvey always had Marcus, which makes the reveal in Suits LA episode 9 even worse. Since Marcus has also died, it means that Harvey no longer has any biological family from his original family unit.

Donna & Their Son Are Now Harvey's Family

Harvey's Relationship With Donna Has Become Even More Meaningful

Now that Marcus and Harvey's parents have ed away, Harvey only has Donna and his son. A new family unit forms with each marriage, but Harvey's marriage to Donna has become even more significant because it means it is now his only family. The reasoning behind the change is heartbreaking, but also highlights the strength of their relationship. Harvey and Donna ended up together in Suits, but Suits LA has also shown that they are still going strong.

With Harvey's wedding band, the brief reference to Donna in Suits LA, and the shared messages between Harvey and his son, Suits LA has revealed many pleasant things about Harvey's relationship with Donna. While Sarah Rafferty has yet to appear in the Suits spinoff, her direct and indirect mentions from the Suits LA cast have only highlighted the loving pairing that she and Harvey share. She also makes the perfect partner for Harvey, and their mutual and unwavering proves that they make a great family.

If Harvey did not have the loving relationship he shares with Donna, his brother's death would have been so much worse because Harvey would have felt truly alone. Suits LA revealed that Harvey still grieves for his brother several years after he ed. As a result, if Harvey did not have Donna to lean on, the impact of Marcus' death would likely have been even more painful than it already was. With his parents and now his brother gone, he would have lacked any significant emotional .

If Harvey had to face Marcus' death alone, it would likely have been an unimaginable struggle.

Donna and Harvey's relationship has many different blessings, but one of them is the fact that they are there for each other. They are both incredibly ive and truly understand each other. While Suits LA has not shown the couple on screen together, it has been revealed that they have continued to grow as life partners with the addition of their son.
