This one's to Jenny

Viral fever put me on the bed over the weekend but fortunately, also in the front of the TV where Comedy Central was airing the reruns of Suits Season 1.

Suits as a show has come a long way since then but it was kinda nice going back to Harvey, Donna, Louis and Mike's old days. And that's where I saw Jenny again.



Jenny Griffith, the very so pretty, girl-next-door blonde who was Mike's friend Trevor's ex-girlfriend and later on, Mike's love interest.


In one of the episodes the show goes back further 5 years from season 1 to show how all the characters used to live back then.

I loved that episode because gave us some more background story and more importantly, that's the episode where Mike and Trevor meet Jenny and her friend for the first time.

Just 2 guys and 2 girls in a bar, the foursome hit it off quite well and it is evident that Mike likes Jenny. They have similar interests (both of them like die hard I guess) and Mike feels she is more his type than the other one.

Through tough turns and broken friendships and relationships, much to my liking (don't know how many others), Mike and Jenny finally become a thing.

They're living together, she knows his secret, helps him out by being a guest witness in a mock trial of his, delivers his suit to office when he'd just pulled an all-nighter and is giving him good advice when he's stuck.

All in all, they're great together.

Look at the chemistry Mike and Jenny have:



But the creators didn't really feel so.

Here entered Rachel Zane, a paralegal at Pearson Hardman who, not so surprisingly, becomes the reason for Jenny to leave Mike.



That is the very point where everyone starts comparing Rachel and Jenny.


I have never, ever, apart from only one friend, heard anyone liking Jenny more than Rachel.

Rachel's smart, driven, ambitious, sexy and daughter of a high profile herself but Jenny is is no way inferior.



Of course you don't focus on the boring law stuff all the time so how does it matter if the characters' love interests come from inside of outside of the same profession?

Please bring her back. :/
