Perhaps I was among a subset of Mr. Robot fans who appreciated Season 1 as a clever and engaging “heist” drama that was enriched by the fact that its antihero was, as eventually affirmed, plagued by mental illness.
The start of Season 2, though, inverts that formula, testing your willingness to cascade down many a dark rabbit hole with Eliot. But is that we want, to abandon the semblance of structure that the first season had, in the name of even more “What is real?” fake-outs? Wouldn’t that risk steering the acclaimed USA Network drama into being more of a niche appeal than ever?...

A single episode of Scandal has more mysteries than the entirety of Lost and Twin Peaks combined, and in last week's still-buzzed-about episode, Everything's Coming Up Mellie, we got a massive answer to one of the year's biggest questions: Is Olivia's mother alive? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)
And now that we know actress Khandi Alexander will be playing Maya Lewis in the show's present day timeline, ETonline caught up with the actress to talk about the incredibly secretive casting process, what she's excited for audiences to see in this week's episode, titled Vermont is for Lovers, Too, and what it's -- maybe -- like to work with Kerry Washington!
ETonline: Not to use a bad pun, but your casting on this show was like the mother of all secrets – what was the casting process like?
Khandi Alexander: Mark Wilding, the executive producer, called me and he said, "I can't tell you anything about her, but you are...

Scandal has become TV's go-to-destination for big questions, bigger answers, and hashtags that light the way. But it wasn't always that way. #WhoIsQuinnPerkins (the season one finale cliffhanger question du jour) turned fans into fanatics and mobilized an army of Gladiators, making Shonda Rhimes' sublime series one of the rare shows you absolutely must watch live!
And while #WhoIsQuinnPerkins has been long solved (hi Lindsay Dwyer), the mysteries surrounding Opa's most recent hire continue to grow as the chasm between Huckleberry Quinn also expands.
To find out what's next for our favorite gun-toting, screwdriver-wielding, hacker-hottie, ETonline caught up with the effervescent Katie Lowes for a frank conversation about Quinn's bad decisions, being Scandal's black widow and the "cuckoo bananas amazing" episodes to come!
ETonline: First off, it should go without saying that I am loving this season!
Katie Loews: That means so much because we're at, what feels like, this awesome...

Of all the crazy, sexy, cool things I've gotten to do as a result of my job, nothing has even come close to topping my day as an extra on Scandal!
If you've been living under a rock for the last two years (where the WiFi sucks, and therefore you can not follow me on Twitter), my passion for Scandal has been white hot since day one and grown exponentially with every intricate episode. So when ABC asked if I wanted to be an extra in a season three episode, I think my reaction shattered a few eardrums.

EW's Sandra Gonzales, TVGuide.com's Natalie Abrams, TVGuide Magazine's Debra Birnbaum and I were assigned the performance-stretching task of playing reporters (we're so method!) covering a White House press conference given by none other than President Fitzgerald Grant!
