I doubt she’ll get any from movies she’s done, as she was mainly a bit player at best supporting, and she was not of high enough profile to be given residues (she might have asked).
She may get some from Suits (edit: looks like the show went past it’s 100 episode last season), but again she was a supporting actress and the contract she had when she left may have well been the same she signed when the show began - which mean whatever percentage she may get will be very minor. You must remove, Suits was not (and still is not) a highly watched or known publicized show (even among the cable & low rating shows), I highly doubt it will have much syndication prowess once it’s run will be over- as is the case with most similarly low rated and barely known shows.
I'm sorry, but where did you get your info from? Suits, for a cable show has very high ratings especially for the last few years. Trust me, it wouldn't have survived cable tv if it didn't and NBC has a really bad reputation for axing shows that are not profitable. Also, Meghan was not a "supporting" actress in suits. She was one of the main 5 characters on the show, which means behind the two males "leads", she was a starring character. In fact, the entire premise of Suits relies around an ensemble cast. I will agree with you on her movies. She was not in any notable movies that would bring in a substantial residual check, but as for Suits, she will be getting a hefty pay-check yearly or bi-yearly now that it's in syndication. I think this is why she was so grateful once it got past 100 episodes. If a show does well and gets past that threshold, that is a sigh of relief for most actors as they can definitely count on a check for the rest of their lives, barring a severe incident, i.e. the Cosby show.
Also, we have to remember, she was on for years, which means there were negotiations throughout that time, which probably means once NBC decided that it was worth it, the actors probably were in a better place for to negotiate for the event of syndication.
