ABC's newest show sensation "Scandal" is a fresh and edgy addition to the station. Starring Kerry Washington as a "fixer," the show is filled with suspense, drama and cliff hangers. This is not your average show about a law firm, nor a crime scene or White House policy. This is a show that combines all of that into one extraordinary experience every Thursday night on ABC.

About The Show
Revered and feared at the same time, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), a former communications director to the President of the United States, left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm. She is hoping to start a new chapter in her life -both professionally and personally-but she can't seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her dysfunctional staff, who specialize in fixing other people's lives, can't quite fix the ones closest at hand-their own.

Other cast members include Stephen Finch (Henry Ian Cusick), who has dated his share of women but is trying to settle down and have a family; Harrison Wright (Columbus Short), a slick litigator; Huck (Guillermo Diaz), hacker extraordinaire; investigator Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield), who has an enduring crush on Stephen; and Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes), the new young woman in the office who is in awe of Olivia, but is initiated in a trial by fire on her very first day on the job.

While the entire cast is wonderful, we love Kerry in her role and appreciate the dynamics and layers her character is beginning to reveal over these first few episodes. We also love Columbus Short and appreciate his personality on the show. We are hoping to learn more about his character in upcoming episodes, as he is definitely one of the ladies' favorite.


Be sure to tune in every Thursday at 10pm EST.
