The stars of ABC’s “Scandal” are on hiatus now until July, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be working on other projects. Check out the video of Scandal cast talks about their summer projects.

In celebration of the Season 2 finale of Scandal, Kerry Washington and the entire cast performed a live table read of the season-ending episode, “White Hat’s Back On” at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood, California. It was the first time the cast had ever read their lines in front of a live audience (who had yet to see the finale airing on TV later that same night), and Olivia Pope & Associates made the most out of it, running the gamut from delivering intense line readings to breaking the fourth wall to ham it up with the audience.
Executive Producer/Creator Shonda Rhimes and the cast also revealed some behind-the-scenes shockers. Here are a few highlights.
Shonda Initially Didn’t Want to Create Scandal
When Executive Producer Betsy Beers tried to persuade Shonda to make a show based on real-life fixer, Judy Smith (who’s worked with George Bush, Sr., Monica Lewinsky and Michael Vick), Shonda’s first reaction was, “I don’t need another show. I’m good.” When their 15-minute meeting with Judy turned into an engrossing four-hour meeting, Shonda knew this had to be her new show. It took a year of Shonda thinking about the concept before she finally wrote the pilot.
Who Was the Celebrity in the Audience?
Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress, choreographer, director and producer Debbie Allen (Fame, Dr. Catherine Avery in Grey’s Anatomy), was in the audience and the first to ask a question during the Q&A session.
