Hope this actress isn’t coming on at the expense of Sarah Rafferty as Donna (whose character was fired tonight…)

Just tell me they are bringning Donna back because the show won’t be the same without her. She was the brightest and most enjoyable character of the bunch. I mean, I love the entire cast but all the characters are kind of stuffy and high strung since they are all lawyers. Donna was light and fun and cheery. She needs to be back…

- Don’t worry. Donna will be back. I want to see her and Harvey hug it out.

  - I forgot to mention that Sarah is still in Toronto filming. This is just a bump in the road. Donna will be back.

He already has a love interest. Mike + Rachel = great show.

- agreed!

please do not break Rachel’s heart and working relationship with Mike. Mike does need to unnecessarily tell Rach anything about the white unresolved lies
