"Scandal" is Sensational!


Olivia Pope

Have you watched Shonda Rimes new show "Scandal"? Olivia Pope is causing a stir.  She's the show's lead character played by Kerry Washington. If it's broken...she'll fix it.  Olivia is based on Judy Smith, a Black woman who was a "fixer" from the Bush Administration and co-producer of "Scandal".

From the creator and executive producers of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" comes a drama revolving around the life and work of a professional crisis manager and her dysfunctional staff.


Fitzgerald Grant
Strong, smart, and successful,  Olivia holds the heart of Fitzgerald Grant, an unhappy, married Republican who gained his presidency through Olivia's campaign strategies and her guidance.



Every one has some dirty little secret that turns their dream into nightmares. Intrigued? Wait until you meet Olivia's crew.  There's Newbie Quinn Perkins.


Abby Whelan

Abby, the investigator, goes back to law school days with Olivia. She marches to a different drummer, but shares a mutual respect with Olivia.



Stephen Finch

Don't forget Stephen Finch, dedicated defense lawyer and loyal friend. He's a good guy-one you can rely on when things get tough.






"Huck" and Harrison Wright


There's the mysterious enforcer Huck and charmer Harrison Wright, with his excellent memory and attention to detail.






Together, the crew makes things come together, just as Olivia plans. Solving each crisis requires teamwork and Olivia's team is like no other.

They say "power corrupts" and "absolute power corrupts absolutely".  In Washington, people go to great lengths to gain and maintain power.  They are never shy about wielding that power to achieve their goals. They'll go to any lengths to protect the life that that power affords them. 

In trouble...see Olivia Pope.
