Scandal reboot hard to turn down

Kerry Washington would find turning down a return to hit TV series Scandal “hard.” The actress reunited with her former co-stars and director Tom Verica virtually late last week — more than two years since the political thriller ended. During the chat, hosted by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley, Washington addressed the possibility of reprising her starring role in the future. While admitting the idea of reviving former White House director of communications Olivia Pope was “hard to imagine,” she confessed “it would be very hard to say no to the opportunity to work with these people again.” The actress went on to reveal the chemistry they all shared during the drama’s seven-season run was like “lightning in a bottle,” and that the bond has stayed strong even after the show came to a close. “We still spend time together, and we really love each other,” Washington shared.
