‘Scandal’ Season 4 Olivia and Fitz Romance Spoilers | TVLine 

With Olivia’s abduction and auctioning ably handled, and on the heels of a unique episode revolving around race relations, ABC’s

“We’ll definitely see more of that,” Guillermo Diaz, who plays always faithful Huck, told TVLine Sunday on the red carpet for the fourth-year drama’s PaleyFest panel. “Especially now that Olivia’s back, and with everything still a bit awkward at OPA, Huck is excited about pleasing Olivia and being her main Gladiator.”

Helping steel the longtime bond ‘tween the two is Olivia’s recent ordeal at the hand of her kidnappers, and the resulting PTSD that Huck himself knows all too well.

“Olivia’s going to think, ‘This is what Huck has been through for a lot of his life — and

,\'” Diaz shares. “It’ll definitely bring them closer.”

feeling particularly close these days, meanwhile, are Olivia and Canoodler-in-Chief Fitz, who had a massive falling out when she lambasted him for sending troops to war in the name of getting her taken off the auction block.

“It’s bad. It’s very dark” between the off-and-on lovebirds, Tony Goldwyn told us.

“I don’t know where it’s headed, but I do know that however angry he is at Olivia, he’s not giving up,” POTUS’ portrayer continued. “He would not be able to survive if he gave up on Olivia.”

Which is not to say that Fitz won’t also keep a foot firmly planted in wife Mellie’s budding White House run, as promised. “Right now, they’re very connected,” Goldwyn observes. “I believe that Fitz is very committed to Mellie, and I think he really believes in her as a human being. She’s going to make a lot of mistakes, but he sees her real potential. He has a lot of faith in her.” (

Mellie is one of my favorite characters, but the running for POTUS storyline is just weird to me. Hopefully the writers can make it work.

As do I. I get they are trying to do the “Hilary” thing but she ran for Senate after they left office. Then she had a job in the President’s cabinet to gain experience. It is hard to imagine someone going from first lady straight to President.

They really ought to have an impeachment story line on this show.. Fitz has broken so many laws as president its ridiculous… get him impeached and have the vaccination lady take over

I think that Fitz going to jail or being impeached is how the series could end. The last scene would be: Fitz walking through the prison door after serving his sentence and getting into a car. Of course, in the car will be Olivia ready for her biggest PR fix yet!

I’m glad it’s Huck that she gets closer to and not Jake. If done right, this PTSD storyline could actually be good. Jake being too involved in this storyline much would do nothing but stink up and distract from the storyline, so glad to see that it’s Huck that she supposedly gets closest to.

Don’t know who came up with the idea of the whole Olivia being kidnapped story line and what made the idea of bringing back Henry Ian Cusick?

I don’t know about the kidnap storyline, but bringing Stephen back was a valentine to the original fans (from Season 1). A lot of people, including myself, liked Stephen and have missed him since he left. Plus, Stephen helped keep Olivia together (as she did for him), and the show needed that because Olivia has been a wreck lately.

I should have said Stephen and Olivia kept each other grounded.
