Who is Norma in Suits?

Norma is the mysterious and unseen secretary of Louis Litt in the Suits TV Show. While Louis, Gabriel Macht's Harvey Specter's rival, has an important and highly visible relationship with his secretary Donna, Sarah Rafferty's character, Norma remains a hidden enigma.

What Makes Norma So Different?

Norma is a Unseen Character who exists within the world of Suits as a joke. The show uses her character to incorporate the TV Trope, a literary and media device where an individual, or even in some cases objects, are only referenced through conversations or the reactions of others on a TV Show! Fans have been eager to get more information on the Norma Character, hoping that maybe she would even make a brief appearance.

What are Some Examples of Similar Unseen Characters?

There are several similar situations across several TV Shows! It is something that has remained a source of mystery and curiosity for fans of several different television series!

  • Howard's mom in The Big Bang Theory, voiced by Carol Ann Susi
  • Wilson in Home Improvement, played by Earl Hindman.
  • The character "Charlie" in Charlie Angels, played by John Forsythe.

Why Don't We See Norma in Suits?

Norma is more than just an ordinary secretary in the Suits TV Show. The fact that we've never seen her makes her more fascinating for fans. It's been rumored that Louis Litt Secretary wasn't initially intended to become this popular a character! Suits Season 4 has her leaving, but she was also remembered because the way the show's producers decided to have her die. It only added more humor and an element of surprise that we should expect for more interesting Unseen Characters in TV Shows, perhaps they even hold more influence than many might initially assume.

How is Norma Similar to the Characters From Big Bang Theory and Home Improvement?

Both those shows feature prominent Characters, such as "Howard's Mom," Debbie and "Wilson" that we never get to see in person. They exist through conversation and description.

What Does the Absence of Norma Show Us?

It appears that these Unseen Characters hold more influence and impact in how the world is built and what unfolds in these TV Shows, despite being absent from a visual standpoint.

Could Norma Appear in Future Episodes?

Although the Suits TV Show is complete, and even the main cast like Patrick J. Adams' Mike Ross, Meghan Markle's Rachel Zane, and Harvey Specter, have long moved on from their original roles, the enduring legacy of these Characters in Suits might mean there's an incredible future in the world of television. It is very possible for those unseen, but still impactful characters, like Norma, could have a reemergence in another version or reimagining of the Suits TV Show!
