ApathyMonger May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Rather than kill Harrison off, Scandal are reportedly recasting him: http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/eric-west-replaces-columbus-short-on-abc-drama-scandal/ Columbus Short may be gone from ABC’s Scandal, but his character Harrison Wright is far from being a goner, despite that gun to his head in the season finale. Eric West has closed a deal to continue the role of Harrison Wright, replacing Short, on the upcoming Season Four. “We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Eric,” ABC said in a statement. The new guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922064/reference Huh, West is saying it's not true: https://twitter.com/EricXWest Weird. And Deadline have retracted the story: http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/eric-west-replaces-columbus-short-on-abc-drama-scandal/ Sorry, Scandal fans. In the rush of upfront news, a release pertaining to be from ABC about an actor named Eric West, who had been circulated for weeks, replacing troubled Scandal co-star Columbus Short got to me. It turns out it was an elaborate hoax, which is very unfortunate. It is unclear yet whether Short would be replaced.

l star May 8, 2014 Share May 8, 2014 I don't know why they would replace him. Harrison can just pull a Steven. I think the show could use some new blood but just replacing Harrison won't save OPA for me. I would happily send Abby to the White House and get rid of the other three, B613 and David Rosen. Jake can stay 'cause he's pretty and Abby can bang Leo (please stay Leo!). The others can disappear please. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3841-scandal-in-the-media/#findComment-65370

No spoilers but some interesting tidbits. She has a better recall of specifics with her character than just about any actor I've ever seen. I love that she threw out both her age and that she works with an acting coach. I guess I hadn't read an interview with her before because her answers surprised me.

She's already taken strides in that direction since the premiere.

Unless you had the remote in hand ready to flip the channel knowing something was coming, it was really easy for the kids to see the sex scenes. If ABC/Disney was going to move Scandal to 9pm and air a children's special before it. They should have checked the content of Scandal right after the lead in. They should have toned it down.
