'Scandal' Season 4 Spoilers: Who's In and Who's Out for New Season?
"Scandal" star Tony Goldwyn has charmed his way into the American public with his portrayal of conflicted President Fitzgerald Grant. Goldwyn recently revealed some behind-the-scenes secrets about his cast mates as well as what to expect in the upcoming season.
"Everyone makes fun of me," Goldwyn told Us Weekly, "but it's really great."
He also noted that new mom Kerry Washington was "fantastic" to work with even though she teased him relentlessly. The entire cast is close, though, and enjoys working together on the hit series. One cast member will be missing in the upcoming season – Columbus Short, who decided to leave after a round of legal trouble.

"He's great," Goldwyn said. "But on 'Scandal,' like what happened to Dan Bucatinsky [and his character James Novak] last year, you never know when we're gonna survive!"
Goldwyn is taking on a new challenge this year – he will be directing at least one of the episodes of the new season, which will begin filming next month. Fans are already eager to see what next season has in store. When the show returns, there are rumors that Bellamy Young as Mellie Grant may not be in the premiere.
"No, because I don't know if we'll come back immediately [in time]. One year, we skipped 10 months in the middle, so I have no idea where we'll start back," Young told TVLine. "But I can tell you that and as much as [the rape episode] 'Everything's Coming Up Mellie' was a devastating table read, that script for our last episode of Season 3."
Kerry Washington has also spoken about the upcoming season and what her feelings are toward being with either Jake or Fitz.
"I don't know," she told Gold Derby. "I'm always, 'I'm not Team Jake or Team Fitz, I'm Team Shonda,' so whatever Shonda writes, I'm game. But I also, I just want Olivia to be able to find happiness and peace and love. I feel like the season finale was definitely an episode that challenged Olivia, there were a lot of ups and downs in that one for sure."
"Scandal" returns this fall to ABC.
