'Anything could happen': 'Deal or No Deal' host Joe Manganiello hints at Meghan Markle return in surprise cameo
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle may return for a cameo on ‘Deal or No Deal Island’, hints the host Joe Manganiello.
Before the Duchess of Sussex wooed the audience with her ‘Suits’ role, she appeared briefly as a ‘Deal or No Deal’ briefcase model.
As the show is returning, host Manganiello hinted that Markle’s fans may get to see her return on the silver screen with the revival series of one of her earlier works.
During an interview with Extra TV, Manganiello said, "You'll have to tune in and see.”
“I mean anything could happen," added the ‘True Blood’ star when he was asked about the probability of Markle appearing on the show.
Meghan Markle talked about her experience of working on ‘Deal or No Deal’
Meghan Markle previously opened up about her experience of working on the series and complained about the game show’s “beauty” only approach towards women.
During an episode of her podcast ‘Archetypes’, Markle candidly shared, "It was solely about beauty, and not necessarily about brains,” per OK! Magazine.
The mother-of-two continued, "I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there and I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach. Like I said, I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel, which was not smart."
The ‘Suits’ actress - who is also a vocal feminist - continued to talk about the objectification of women in the game show.
She added, "I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage," and aired her grievances saying, "I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance. There was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like."
Meghan Markle’s former costar Rachael Harris revealed the Duchess won’t return for ‘Suits’ spinoff
While Joe Manganiello is hinting at the Duchess’s return to the silver screen with a probable cameo at ‘Deal or No Deal’, her former ‘Suits’ co-star Rachael Harris shared Markle won’t return for the spin-off series of the legal drama.
Harris, a close friend of the showrunner Aaron Korsh, recently shared with The Mirror that the upcoming Los Angeles-based ‘Suits’ will be a standalone show and will not include the previous characters.
The ‘Lucifer’ actress, who was attending the 11th Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS) Awards in Beverly Hills, was recently asked about the future of ‘Suits’ on camera.
When she was asked about the probability of the return of the original cast members including Markle to ‘Suits LA’, she replied negatively.
She said, "Well, this is the thing -the only thing I know the truth is, is that Aaron Korsh who created the original Suits I know personally: and of course when I got wind that they were doing a Suits LA I was like, okay, so when am I working? And he was very clear with me that no one from the previous cast is going to be in Suits LA."
Explaining that the new series will be based in Los Angeles, the show will bear the name ‘Suits LA.’
While the original cast members may not return as full-time actors, Harris has not shut down the possibility of surprise cameos.
Referring to Korsh, she added, "He didn't say that there couldn't be a crossover or there couldn't be a cameo appearance from one of us at some point.”
Sharing that Korsh wants the show to be its “own entity,” Harris explained, “Much like all the CSIs and all the Bruckheimer, right? Where they have CSI, Vegas, Los Angeles, on the moon everywhere.”
“So I feel confident that they want this to soar on its own without any of the original cast,” Harris added and assured her fans, “That doesn't mean that we won't pop in."
The 56-year-old actress further noted that Korsh has not mentioned anything about Markle’s involvement in the show.
She continued, “He has not said anything to me about Megan popping in,” and remarked, “We don't talk about the Duchess. It's rude. She has enough going on. You know what I mean? Let's leave her alone for God's sake. Right.”
