What This Means For Suits L.A.
Ted Black Might Have A Family Reunion
While Ted’s father plays akey role inSuits L.A., the fact that Letscher isn’t a series regular means that his character arc will likely have limited appearances. It’s also possible that Ted’s father will be limited to one season or only a few episodes in each season. While Ted’s father is crucial in the titular prosecutor-turned-lawyer’s potential character arc, his placement also suggests that the series won’t be too heavily focused on Ted’s past and personal relationships.
