Kerry Washington recently reached out to her former Scandal costar Tony Goldwyn during a podcast appearance to discuss their notable on-screen chemistry from the ABC political drama series.
According to TMZ Staff, Washington called Goldwyn for what was described as "a cheeky chat about their famously steamy chemistry" during the podcast recording. The conversation centered on the intimate scenes between their characters throughout the show's seven-season run.
Background on Scandal
Washington and Goldwyn starred together in the Shonda Rhimes-created series Scandal, which aired from 2011 to 2018. Washington played Olivia Pope, a crisis management expert, while Goldwyn portrayed President Fitzgerald Grant. Their characters' complicated romantic relationship became a central storyline throughout the series.
The show was notable for its portrayal of their characters' intense relationship, which included numerous dramatic and intimate scenes that became a signature element of the series. Scandal ran for 124 episodes and was one of ABC's most successful primetime dramas during its tenure.
The podcast call represents a reunion of sorts for the two actors, who have maintained their professional relationship since the series concluded in 2018. Washington has continued her television career with various projects, while Goldwyn has appeared in multiple film and television roles since Scandal ended.
