Scandal is TV’s hottest, most addictive show with the most ethically-challenged cast on TV.
“White Hats” are accessories to wear on Scandal. David Rosen, Olivia’s political road kill, was one of the only character who truly wore the “What Hat” consistently. That’s until, he had Olivia and her team clean up the murder scene of a one-night stand and lied to the police.
Olivia has made a career of cleaning up other people’s messes, but when it comes to her own life, the character struggles with right and wrong and which move to make next.
Actress Kerry Washington exclaimed “She understands that real people are not all good and all bad. Real people fall somewhere in the gray.”
We’ve watched as Olivia helped rig the presidential election. She and her team of so-called “gladiators” have also cleaned up murder scenes, tampered with evidence, and ruined political careers.
Wildly ethically-challenged could also describe the president, known as Fitz to faithful “Scandal” followers. He murdered a supreme court justice on her death bed, blatantly carried on with Olivia in front of his wife, and has been known to drink a little too much (even early in the morning while showering).
Every character on the show is complex yet likable.
Guillermo Diaz, who plays Huck, a former black ops assassin, and Katie Lowes, who plays Quinn are the pair of Olivia’s gladiators who will move mountains and bodies to protect a client.
“At the beginning of the show, Olivia Pope says she likes to take in stray dogs and fix people just like she likes to fix crises. So everybody in the office is messed up, Including ourselves.”
So will Fitz and Olivia re-kindle their affair? Goldwyn isn’t sure, but he does know one thing.
“People are very upset at the moment with what’s happening with us. People are so emotionally involved in this show, our fans are the reason this show is successful. They are so emotionally invested and that’s such fun for us,” Goldwyn said.
