‘Scandal’ Season 3 Cut Short Due To Kerry Washington’s Pregnancy
Olivia Pope is getting a little bit of a vacation. ‘Scandal’ cut back on the number of episodes that will make up Season 3 — due to lead actress Kerry’s growing baby bump!
Kerry Washingtonis hiding her pregnancy well, but pretty soon that growing bump will be way too noticeable to continue filming. In fact, “ABC has trimmed Scandal‘s Season 3 episode order from 22 to 18,”HollywoodLife sister site TV Line learned.

“The network gave no official explanation for the cutback, but it’s safe to say the decision was made in response to the real-life pregnancy of leading lady [Kerry],” reported TVLine.

Do you think it was a good decision to cut the season short?
Shooting the final four episodes originally planned for the season would be extremely difficult considering the timing of Kerry’s spring due date – especially since, as we previously reported, the show decided not to write Kerry’s real-life pregnancy into the plot of the show.
The network also briefly considered writing Kerry, 36, out of the story line for the last few options, but that just would not have been a good move!

While filming her latest episode of Scandal in Los Angeles on Dec. 9, Kerry kept her figure concealed in a stunning white coat with vertical piping and shiny front buttons. The coat was so Olivia Pope-chic, but it also kept her all covered up!
Scandalwill have run 10 episodes of Season 3 after the show’s fall finale on Dec. 12, 2013. Eight episodes will remain when the show comes back on Feb. 27, 2014.
