Meghan and Adams' characters — Rachel Zane and Mike Ross, respectively — were love interests on the show and ended up getting married onscreen. In the second episode of his and Rafferty’sSidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast,Adams recalled working with the Duchess even before the pilot forSuits.

He revealed that they had “done a pilot before” but it didn’t get picked up, so they “never saw each other again” until they were called in for aSuitschemistry read.

“I think just knowing each other and getting to calm down and not have those nerves of just getting to know one another really helped that chemistry read,” Adams said. “We had an easygoing thing when we went into that room.”

He also recalled that Meghan was a shoo-in right off the bat for the role. “And it was pretty clear that she was gonna get the part from the minute we did the chemistry read. It was just so much easier than it was with anybody else — she crushed it and she crushes it in the show.”
