Gretchen was a breath of fresh air to the show. She really deserved more screentime. Killed almost every scene and made you laugh.

She was the only way to follow up Donna. Completely different energy yet the same kick ass skill set.

Donna was a bit of a Mary Sue. I found her quite wearing after a while.

[@adapienkowska2605]

@@DrClaw-y2l She was great until they started pushing their romantic relationship and explain things. They either had to make it quick and natural or not do it at all.

[@rachelwebber2120]

Agree I liked Donna a lot more before all that ​@@adapienkowska2605

[@Daddy53751]

I agree, and for me it was also a bit too much of the “sheep in wolf’s” clothing thing any time she would get into the slightest grey area. For a great white shark of legal secretaries to crumble like blue cheese at the drop of a hat, was grating.

[@annacantu7670]

Agreed!!

[@NeoRazgriz]

She bit her tongue when a client was badmouthing her, so her boss wouldn’t lose his deal. Then stands up for herself with her boss and pokes fun at him; reminding him of his humanity. I’d have given her a 15% raise on the spot: she is humble, loyal, talented and fearless with her “superiors”! She earned every penny with a large bonus of respect on top of it.

[@dustbunny4527]

You’d have to learn how to hire people like her first

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

I liked her 10,000 times more than Donna. Donna’s Mary Sue perfection was very irritating.

[@realmdarkness]

Harvey did right by hiring Gretchen. Who knows if Abigail would have been loyal when she found out about Mike, or just tried to save herself.

[@lovewhitey4462]

Hot ones are usually snakes 🐍

[@annacalifornia6498]

Oh, she'd probably throw the whole company under the bus. I'm in certain law firm and then go and talk show seeing how she found out that Mike was a fraud

[@HerbChao14xs]

I actually just realized that too. Also you can tell she was just a little too good and confident in herself; Harvey read that right away (but hid his hand so that she wouldn't see). He then realized he couldn't risk interviewing and hiring the other candidates (aside from GRetchen) cause then he'd risk the usual Boss/Good looking Secretary conflict (and not many folks can be disciplined like DOnna to keep them both in line) so he grabbed Gretchen, tested her confidence level and then hired her.

[@brimstoneclub]

That was a chess match move and he nailed it

[@kylemckay4308]

Did anybody notice the lady next to Gretchen? Like it's very subtle, but you can see the surprise and blinking when she wasn't chosen. Great acting from a minor role.

[@jaiyabyrd4177]

That quick interview and hire is just what should be 👍🏾✅ "I prefer my men manly"

[@peteyoung3124]

She's the type of secretaries we used to have in our department - experienced and knew how to get the job done. But now, one got a better job, another retired, and the third wants to retire and isn't happy with how the department has become. Any temp we've had since hasn't been nearly as great. Gotta love people who work like this.

[@ps4peace]

And then there's the firm lays off all the good people for the young, less experienced and cheaper pay rolls. Leaving Career partners scrambling to get things done. Top that off with the firm that also wipes out the WP (IYKUK) dept. too. Good times!

[@professormeow3399]

Well you can't expect people to become great at what they do on day one. You need to keep the good people happy AND help the inexperienced to grow into their role. It seems your department sucks at both. Companies nowadays just want golden geese employees without doing or investing much into them. This seems especially true for lesser valued "lower" staff like secretaries (while of course the expectations are high). Then they complain about good and experienced people leaving and not immediately finding a younger, possibly cheaper replacement on the same level.

[@myrixica4222]

Well, there's your problem, you're hiring temps. Now don't get me wrong, temps are great, wonderful, fantastic, but only at what they are for, short term fill to make sure paperwork gets done. But they don't know the business, so they can't be like this. You gotta hiring and train people.

[@w0000ticus]

lmao what a boomer take

[@sct4040]

Temps don’t have any incentive to be great. Hire permanent people with a reason to stick around. I must admit personality matters, it’s not just training. An independent person with a brain is invaluable.

[@beccawolfe777]

[@sabrinarosario6499]

She reminds me of my mom. She is still a secretary at 67 years old (she is retired. She just grew bored at home lol) and all the young lawyers kill themselves trying to get her to be their secretary.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

The lady in the video is not 67.

[@carlosayala5161]

@@Michelle-pn9xt that episode aired in July 2015, must have been filmed a few months earlier. Aloma Wright was born, according to IMDb, 10/03/1950. Therefore, she was approx 65 years old there. So yes, she was 65, not 67. But, still, @sabrinarosario6499 did not say that Gretchen was her mother, or exactly like her, but that she reminded her of her mom, did not she?

Man, the writers were on a roll with these characters

[@brandonwarfield5611]

You're right, the only character I didn't like in the show was Mike's ex best friend Trevor.

[@Daddy53751]

At least a half dozen times I’d wanted to slap Harvey for not kicking Mike to the curb as Mike was a huge, ungrateful pain. Then it dawned on me, Harvey’s loyalty, even to a fault was his core principle. Fantastic character development, was what made this series sing.

[@mississippiqueen2u]

Gretchen is the kind of person you need. She was born for this. She few up in the seen but not heard era. She is a person who most rich and snuddy people overlook. They see her as the hired help/ maid but don’t know she is a force to be reckoned with. People will always underestimate her. And their lies her super hero strengths. With her age, most people will never have given her a chance. I’m sure she knows that. So her taking a chance anyways shows her willingness. And hiring her will give her the opportunity to show her gratitude and loyalty. She has been bullied all her life. She has developed a thick skin. She will not just back down, she will just find another way around you. And….. you will never see her coming! You replace a beast with another kind of beast. Go get em Gretchen!!!!

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

Man oh MAN Gretchen is just the dream backup Girl one can have in this very competitive and tight Prof game ~ she changed the entire ballgame in Suits with her style, het firm presence and the glint in her eye, knowing full well she is in charge and absolutely brilliant at it… Her and Donna are magnificent powerhouses and endless entertainment in this series SUPER brilliant Gretchen, well done‼️‼️🥂 👊🔥 🪖
