Scandal ATAS Table Read

Huck Was Originally Supposed to Kill Verna Thornton
Shonda revealed that they came up with the idea of Fitz killing Verna a little late in the planning of Season 2, because the Supreme Court Justice was intended to die at the hands of Huck. A lot of the events in the story are written so that it feels “logical and human” for that character’s journey, and the culmination of Fitz’s emotions at that point in the season made it right for him to be Verna’s killer. The presidential assassination idea was also a plotline that came up late in the planning process.

Joshua Malina Pranks the Cast
Joshua is known as the practical joker on set and he pulled some pranks on the cast during the table read. Katie Lowes revealed that Josh had ripped out a page from her script featuring her dialogue. “But I felt bad,” Josh replied, explaining that he ended up folding up the page and slipping it back into her script so she could deliver her lines.

Joshua also pranked Tony Goldwyn by scribbling in some extra dialogue for the President. Fitz’s speech ends with him saying, “I want us to be a dynasty. I want to help you join me as a living, breathing monument to redemption and second chances and the America we all hope still exists,” and Josh capped it off with the line, “I’m the @$*#ing President!” Tony admitted he almost read it out loud.
