SCANDAL – In the series premiere, “Sweet Baby,” young lawyer Quinn Perkins is offered a job with the crisis management firm Olivia Pope and Associates. Quinn is in awe. Olivia Pope is the former communications director to the President. She and her team of “gladiators in suites” will do whatever it takes to make their clients’ problems go away, and newbie Quinn is initiated into the group with trial by fire on day one. Olivia’s former boss, President Fitzgerald Grant and his chief of staff, Cyrus Beene are never far from her beat – and when a White House intern accuses the President of having an affair, Olivia is the only one they trust to diffuse the problem. But the news hits close to home for Olivia, and Quinn soon realizes Olivia’s clients aren’t the only ones with secrets. “Scandal” premieres THURSDAY, APRIL 5 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

ABC Cancels final 3 Episodes of Scandal. Sorry Ladies.

What!  Did I say less episodes of Scandal??

Sorry ladies, but according to Deadline, ABC has reduced it’s order of 22 episodes down to 18.  Rumor has it that this is due to Washington’s rumored pregnancy, although the network gave no official explanation.  There are no plans to write the pregnancy into the show and there are no plans to temporarily write Washington out.

Kerry has been extremely private about her personal life, surprising fans when she married husband Nnamdi Asomugha back in June of this year.  With a “guess”timated spring due date, those final four episodes would be nearly impossible to hide her baby bump. [more…]

However, have no fear as the show has been doing better then ever.  The piggy-back from Grey’s has been working like a charm and it’s now the fastest growing returning show this television season, so it’s not going anywhere.

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW

In case you weren’t aware, this year’s break will also be slightly longer then lasts.  ABC will be doing it’s routine Fall finale next week and then the show will not return to February 27th.  DAMN!

This place is going to be very busy next year….make your reservations now!
