Speaking withEntertainment Weekly, the cast ofSuits LAexplained how the office dynamics will work, specifically some conflicts the characters will face with one another.McDermitt teased a “breaking point” in the firm, with Amell saying his relationship with his friend isn’t as stable as Ted perceives it to be:
Ted doesn’t think that there’s anything wrong with their relationship at all — I think Stuart might disagree.
Greenberg teased some potential conflict between Rick and Ted, as the former isn’t willing to go as far as the latter to win their cases:
Ted’s very much looking to win at all costs, and Rick is looking to win, but maybe not at all costs. That comes back to bite [Ted], in the case of Rick.
And finally, Davis explained howErica’s attempts to strive in a male-dominated workplacewhile competing with Rick for head of entertainment will lead to her storyline getting more fleshed out as the show continues:
Erica is fighting for the things that she deserves in this male-dominated space — she’s playing hardball with the guys, for sure.
