ABC Shocker: Scandal Could be Held Held for Midseason, 16 Episodes

The Ratings Junkie

TVLine has reported that they have exclusively received news that ABC is determining what to do

with Scandal star Kerry Washington being pregnant for a second time. If you recall last time the decision was to trim the episode order to 18 and feature Olivia Pope (played by Washington) less; but per TVLine, one of the options that ABC is weighing now is to wait to premiere Scandal, their #2 drama, until midseason.

What do you think of this news? Far-fetched? Plausible? Just a rumor? Let us know in the comments below!
