"Suits" fans will meet Mike's real cellmate in season 6, episode 2 of the hit legal drama series.
In this week's season 6 premiere of "Suits," Mike (Patrick J. Adams) thought he had made a new friend in his cellmate Frank (Paul Schulze), but it turned out that his fellow inmate was just pretending to be his roommate in order to find out how important he is to Harvey (Gabriel Macht). At the end of the episode, Frank knows Mike's story, and he plans to use that to exact revenge on Harvey who put him behind bars. But who is Mike's real roomie?
Mike's real cellmate is Kevin Miller (Eric Palladino), who will make his first appearance in next Wednesday's episode, titled "Accounts Payable." Obviously, he let Frank to take his place for a while to get intel from Mike, so does that mean his also a character that can't be trusted?
"Imagine you're Mike and this has happened, and then the next day, you meet the guy that let Frank do that. You're not going to trust that guy at all. I wouldn't," series creator Aaron Korsh told TVLine. "That's the start of their relationship, and it's going to progress from there."
In a separate interview with Yahoo TV, Adams teased what fans can expect from Palladino's character.

"He's not a guy without a past who hasn't made some mistakes," the 34-year-old actor said. "Ultimately he's a guy that is good, and I think Mike recognizes that early on and knows that this is a guy like Mike, who's heart is in the right place. He's just trying to do what he knows to be right in difficult circumstances."
"I think the writers have done an excellent job of unfolding his story slowly over the course of the season," Adams added. "Their relationship and how Mike is forced to make some difficult decisions in regards to their relationship is really, I think, the central drama for Mike in these first 10 episodes."
At some point during the interview, Adams also commended Palladino's performance on the show. "We're so lucky to have Erik," he said. "I can't say enough about him. He's just a really good actor and he's bringing so much to this part. I'm really excited for the audience to see this relationship."
"Accounts Payable" airs on Wednesday, July 20 at 9 p.m. on USA Network. Check out the trailer and synopsis for the episode below.
"Louis [Rick Hoffman], Jessica [Gina Torres] and Harvey fend off a class action lawsuit; Mike has no choice but to run afoul of a fellow prisoner."
