Some characters can drive an entire television series. Some shows' success is a direct factor of the main character, but others create memorable characters as they go. They can be so endearing and engaging that fans will associate the entire series with one character's antics.

In the hit series "Suits," Harvey is that character. Now that the third season is underway, fans are sitting on the edge of their seats to see what he does next. Will Harvey succeed in taking down Jessica? Will he forgive Mike? Creator Aaron Korsh opened up about what's up ahead for loose cannon lawyer.

"[Jessica] knows Harvey is a competitor," said Korsh in an interview with TV Guide. "Harvey isn't trying to be a managing partner, which is a little bit more of a coaching role. Harvey would rather be the gunslinger. Managing partner inherently require an element of restraint. You can't shoot from the hip like Harvey does. He just doesn't want to lose."

While Jessica is doing her best to fight Harvey off, Mike is doing all he can to win back his trust.

"[Mike's] taking some big steps. He's trying," Korsh said. "Their relationship is very similar to Harvey and Jessica's relationship. The second episode will be revealing. Mike is being wooed by Louis, so is Harvey really OK with that? Poor Louis. Louis takes some lumps. Nigel got him back. He probably gets beaten up the most, but what he goes through is both tragic and hilarious, and Rick always makes it great."

Finally, Korsh talked about the upcoming flashback episode that will introduce Harvey's father, shedding some light on the character's past.

"Harvey is embroiled in a situation with Cameron Dennis and he flashes back to his Cameron Dennis days that are taking place at the same time as when Mike was in college, and that's how we see his dad," he said. "And we learn something about both of them, and some light is shed on [Harvey's] relationship with Donna. The episode tells the story of how Harvey ultimately left the D.A.'s office to work for Jessica."

"Suits" airs Tuesday nights on USA Network.
