Story highlights
The actress will join season 4
Ellen DeGeneres first announced the news on Twitter
The storyline is "top secret"
When last we saw Olivia Pope, she was flying off into the sunset (or maybe just flying off) with Jake by her side—leaving behind a broken Fitz, who’d just lost his son and realized some horrible things about his father. D.C. now rests in the hands of Olivia’s own father, who once again took over B-613. So what awaits the team when season four starts up? How about a new face?
EW has confirmed that “Arrested Development” star Portia de Rossi will join “Scandal’s” fourth season for a multiple-episode arc. Ellen DeGeneres first announced the news on Twitter, bragging about her wife’s “top secret” storyline.
Could the words “top secret” mean de Rossi is a part of Papa Pope’s B-613 army? We’ll find out Thursday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m., when Scandal returns on ABC.
