Season 4 of “Scandal” will premiere September 25 at 9 p.m.
Gladiators unite! Cast members of the hit ABC drama “Scandal” are back at work and ready to get scandalous.
Show creator Shonda Rhimes gave a sneak peek of the cast table read that included new mom Kerry Washington. Rhimes posted a photo on her WhoSay account of Washington giving the camera a smirk with the script covering part of her face. Rhimes captioned the pic, “Our own @kerrywashington at the #scandal table read! We are just starting the read!!”
Wonder what’s in that script?

The “Scandal” writers just look like they have written a season sure to cause plenty of heart palpitations amongst the Gladiators. Whatever is in those scripts clearly has Huck and Quinn not feeling each other right now, or are they just trying to confuse the Gladiators?

At least these ladies are putting on a united front. Can we expect Mellie to lighten up and befriend the Olivia Pope & Associates crew?
“Scandal” actresses Bellamy Young and Darby Stanchfield reunite during the first table read.
Excuse me Fitz, but does Olivia know you are hugged up with Abby right about now? Mellie is clearly unfazed in the background.
Tony Goldwyn and Darby Stanchfield (Fitz and Abby) pause during the “Scandal” table read to pose for a photo.

Gladiators, there’s no telling what Rhimes and her crew have in store for this season, but what we do know is Columbus Short won’t be included. Perhaps he should seek Olivia Pope & Associates for some guidance in getting his career back on track.
“Scandal” premieres on Thursday, Sept. 25 at new time 9 p.m. on ABC.
