Shonda Rhimes, the creator of ‘Scandal’ rarely teases the show, but in an interview with Vulture, revealed a little about where the show is headed, what she feels is a “backhanded compliment” regarding the show
Rhimes on the start of season three;
“When season three begins, I feel like we have some business to take care of. People are saying to Liv, “Are you the president’s mistress?” The first episode sort of leads to some very interesting negotiations between the president and the first lady and Olivia in a way”
Rhimes on people calling ‘Scandal’ a “guilty pleasure”;
“It’s because I write Grey’s Anatomy, because I write things people think are a little fluffier in their mind. Which is weird, because Grey’s Anatomy is pretty dark. It’s the same reason that when people call it a soap opera I get pissed — because it’s not a soap opera. And I don’t think it’s a guilty pleasure. It just sounds like a back-handed compliment. If you think it’s a guilty pleasure, don’t watch it. The Real Housewives of any city is a “guilty pleasure.”
