Scandal has already been renewed for Season 6 by ABC, but with the Cancellation Reaper always lying in wait, Kerry Washington has spoken about where she’d like her character to end up when the political thriller does ultimately end, per TVInsider:
When Scandal does end, Kerry Washington (Olivia) is content to let the show’s writers take her character wherever they deem best. When asked where she’d like Olivia to ultimately end up, Washington said “the question feels so foreign to me, because at no point in these five years has any decision that Olivia made been because of something I wanted. It’s been because of who Olivia is and the great writers.”
The actress added that Olivia felt very real to her. “To be honest with you, I don’t feel I have that control over her,” Washington continued. “I feel almost like my job is to live with her and hold a space with her—a very non-judgmental space for her—and allow her to be who she is. I want her to fully be on her journey, and at some point I want her to be at home and happy and peaceful. I don’t have an attachment to what that looks like. I don’t have an attachment to a particular person or place or situation. She has a lot of work to do on herself. Whatever it looks like, if it brings her joy and peace, I’m in.”
Stay tuned as we monitor the endgame status of Scandal…
