Last week on Scandal, the secret about Olivia Pope's mothers's death was revealed. Turns out Fitz has something to do with her death, oh how the plot thickens. We are were wondering who would play the role of Liv's mother, my guess was Phylicia Rashad. The ABC hit drama series had other plan and actress Khandi Alexander takes on the role.
According to Huffington Post
Khandi Alexander has been cast on “Scandal” in a key role.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Treme” star will play Maya Lewis, Olivia Pope’s dead (for now?) mom. Look for Alexander to maker her debut in the Thursday, Nov. 7 episode of the hit ABC series.
THR reports Alexander’s character will appear in flashbacks because SPOILER ALERT, Maya Lewis was killed in a plane crash that President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) may be responsible for.
Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Jake (Scott Foley) discovered the president’s involvement in the plane crash during the Thursday, Oct. 31 episode of “Scandal.”Khandi is known for CSI Miami, Tremes, and I even remember her from House Party 3. Do you think she will be a good fit to the show?
