Kerry Washington - Don't get pregnant anymore


This is ridiculous having to wait until January because of this woman.

Shonda waited until the election was over. Not For Kerrys baby to drop.

lol You keep believing that Shonda lie if you want to! You can bet your life that had Kerry not been pregnant, Scandal would be on their Winter Break right now with Greys and HTGAWM.

With that said, Kerry can have as many kids as she wants. She shouldn't have to stop living life just to a accommodate this mess of a show. This need to be the last season anyway and ABC wont have to worry about moving the premiere date again to accommodate their pregnant star.

Then why wasn't it on during the winter break then??? Kerry was filmed pregnant before. Her face was so damn puffy at the end of season 3 it was hard to concentrate on anything else. She had those pregnant jowls that Bethenny Frankel had during her pregnancy. If filming her preg wasn't an issue then, why would it be now???

Maybe that is why?

Why does this need to be the last season of the show? If you want it to be the last season, you can easily make it so by just not watching after summer 2017.

lol If you have to ask that, I can't help you. Also, what makes you think I still watch the show? I don't have to wait until after Summer 2017 lol. To be honest, Season 4 should have been the last, but I digress!

The rest of the shows on network TV (except Hawaii 5 0 and Designated Survivor) suck donkey nuts.

Get rid of Scandal and I'm down one less program. No thanks.

Personally, I hope this is the absolute last season of the show. KW deserves better than this ridiculous show which does nothing better than degrade her character.
I felt really bad for KW up there on that stage at the EMMYS, handing the award to Regina King. If this show had written her character well, she should have received one of those a long time ago.

All the Olivia Pope character is used for on this show now is prop other characters up while she gets degraded further and further. Of course I'm sure Shonda will want to stretch the show longer as much as she can, to milk whatever ratings she can out of it.

It's a real shame.

reply

You're right. Kerry's lead character has done nothing for her in terms of winning awards. Shonda has written that character for filth and I wish the Scandal poop-fest would end. Time for Kerry to move on to better opportunities where she can truly flex her creative muscles..

reply

Lol. I'm mad at this long break too. Kerry can have all the babies she wants, this was the show's or ABC's bad decision. Actresses film preggo all the time. I don't care what anyone says, this long break was not their only option. I still don't see why they thought it was a good idea.

reply

Olivia Pope is not pregnant, so it would make no sense to film a pregnant Kerry Washington, they may as well wait until she's had the baby and then they can continue.

reply

No. They could have hid her pregnancy. Shows do this all the time. Scandal even did it with Kerry's first pregnancy. Olivia Pope wasn't pregnant then either so that doesn't matter. I'm talking about early on in her pregnancy anyway, not when she's huge. They filmed the first five episodes of season 6 with her PREGNANT so what do you mean it doesn't make sense. That's what they did. They should have just started earlier and they would have had half a season done to play in the Fall while they film the rest after Kerry's maternity.
