Shonda Rhimes Talks SCANDAL Season 4, the Season of Abby

By  | 

Oh how we miss our Scandal Thursdays! When we left Olivia Pope & Co., Harrison had a gun pointed at his head, Huck was knocking on the door of his family’s house, Fitz was having a melt-down in the oval office after the death of his son, David had just received Christmas presents early, courtesy of Jake, and Olivia herself, was leaving on a jet plane to parts unknown with Jake. Oh, and Eli resumes his role as Command of B613 while Maya is imprisoned in “the hole”.

In a recent interview, Shonda Rhimes talks about where we go from here when the show returns. This season we’ll finally be getting Abby’s story. Huzzah! “Season 4 is Abby’s season. That was by design. A lot of what we know about Abby happens this season. A lot of what we discover about her and see about her back story will happen as we tell Abby’s story.”

Other things Rhimes revealed about the season:

  • A possible time-jump and location change.
  • Olivia and Jake will have to deal with their decision to run away together, in spite of the fact that Olivia did not keep her love for Fitz a secret from Jake.
  • After the death of their son, and knowing that it never would have happened if not for his involvement with Olivia Pope, Fitz faces his responsibility to Mellie.
  • Harrison is definitely dead.

“Scandal” returns Thursday, Sept. 25 at 9/8c on ABC.
