"I did not realize that it would be such a huge thing that people would wonder who turned Mike in. I really didn't. Because I kind of thought of it like, if I were Harvey and Mike, I thought what's more important than who turned him in is how they're gonna get out of this thing. I didn't think it would be as massive a deal as it seems to be," he admitted. "The writers saw it differently than me, and probably more accurately in terms of how the audience would feel about it. They were like, 'It's got to be this big search and we need to find out who it is.' And that would be the way—to get Mike out of it was by finding out who it was. But I thought it doesn't really matter. Once the cat's out of the bag, you could kill the person who did it or make them retract what they said, the investigation's still been started, so it doesn't really matter that that happened."
Korsh added that the appeal of Sheila being the one to turn Mike in lays in her motives. "I wanted it to be a person that wasn't doing it for vindictive reasons, not a person that was trying to take Mike down and get him. I wanted it to be someone who, it's just the first person that did it just because it was the right thing to do," he said. "They weren't getting anything out of it. They weren't able to be cajoled into not doing it out of pity. They just did it because they found this out and it's like, ‘This is not right.' And they just did it."
