'Scandal' Season 3 Spoilers and Air Time: 'Fans Are Going to Love it'
Hit ABC drama "Scandal" returns to television tonight with the season three premiere. Season two left off with Olivia Pope outted as the President's mistress. How will the President and his staff survive this scandal? Stars of the show provided some answers, read on, but be wary of spoilers.
Kate Lowes, who plays Quinn on the show, offered her two cents on how season three will deal with Olivia and the scandal.
"She is the mistress of the free world. We got [the script for the] first episode back for Season 3 and we realized, 'Oh my gosh, we don't know anything about Olivia Pope and her past! Who she is?' This is the biggest thing ever. You think about election rigging and you can't get any bigger, right? But it comes out that she's sleeping with the President and everyone knows and now she's like Monica-freaking-Lewinski," Lowes said to TV Guide.

Darby Stanchfield, who plays Abby on "Scandal," also spoke to TV Guide about what the President and the staff will do to rebound.
"There are huge consequences, even just keeping the lights on. It affects all of us on a very deep level and affects our livelihood. The Gladiators really get back to Gladiating. It really comes back to them fixing things right and left and they're also super loyal. It's an incredibly complicated situation, so it's not as simple as us throwing her photo up on the board and doing steps A-B-C and it's done in an episode. Quite simply, the fans are going to love it because it's the Gladiators at their best," Stanchfield said.
