"Suits" season 6 could be Louis' (Rick Hoffman) biggest season yet.
Although Louis would be very busy helping Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Jessica (Gina Torres) salvage Pearson Specter Litt, the quirky financial law specialist will find new love in the current installment of the hit legal drama series.
"He's going to have a love interest, and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) is sort of his wingman," series creator Aaron Korsh revealed to TV Guide. "I think it's really fun and lighthearted."
"I didn't regret where we went last year in the back six [episodes] because I thought it needed to be done and I was happy and proud of it," Korsh continued. "But those back six didn't leave a lot of emotional room for comedy and lighter moments. I think, this year, we wanted to get back to some of that stuff that we love so much, and that we know the fans love so much."
In fact, there's a new storyline this season that will add more comedy as well as drama to the show.
"[Pearson Specter Litt has] got these huge empty offices, which not only is a huge economic drain, but you can't have people coming into your office and having it look like a ghost town. They won't take you seriously. So they get into a sublet situation and that provides a lot of fun over the course of the season," Korsh said, before revealing that the law firm rents out these vacant spaces to finance guys.
"It's kind of funny," Korsh said of how Louis comes up with the idea. " Louis takes it upon himself to fix the situation in one way, which is not in typical Louis fashion. It doesn't have a good outcome. And then he tries to fix it in another way, which in typical Louis fashion, does not have the best outcome. Louis is spearheading that storyline and it provides for a good amount of both comedy and drama."

While Louis provides most of the show's humor, Korsh told USANetwork.com that they always see to it that viewers will be constantly reminded that he, too, is a great lawyer just like his colleagues.
"It's very funny that you say that and I think the network and studio are good at reminding us that Louis can be very buffoonish -- or certainly comedic -- in a lot of ways," Korsh said. "[But] what we try to do is make him buffoonish or comedic in his emotions -- not tactically or in his ability to think intelligently as a lawyer. So, it's really his emotions that get in the way of him, not his legal savvy. And sometimes his emotions can override his legal savvy, but he's not an idiot. And so we always try to remind ourselves that if he were just a buffoon, he wouldn't be where he is."
