Just as controversy surrounding torture scenes featured in Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty has started to dissipate, ABC’s Scandal could reignite the flames of discussion with a graphic torture scene that will be featured in its next new episode, airing Jan. 10.

In the last new episode of Scandal, Huck (Guillermo Diaz) was arrested under the Patriot Act and accused of attempting to assassinate President Grant (Tony Goldwyn) — a crime for which he is not guilty. After the episode, Diaz hinted to EW in a post-mortem Q&A that an unpleasant encounter with officials was on the horizon for his character in light of his arrest. “His past has prepared him for what’s coming — but I can’t say what is,” he said. “It’s not going to be good.”

And it isn’t. The exclusive clip below shows that Huck has been taken and subjected to torture as a means of interrogation, including beatings and waterboarding.

'Scandal' post-mortem: Guillermo Diaz on midseason finale's biggest moments

WARNING: Scandal fans, do not read the following post-mortem unless you want to be super-spoiled on what went down in the the show’s midseason finale. Proceed with caution. SPOILERS AHEAD!

A reveal at the end of last week’s episode of Scandal left viewers’ jaws on the floor and Huck fans crying, “Say it ain’t so!” Well, luckily, this week’s midseason finale revealed the truth: Huck (Guillermo Diaz) was anything but the guilty man he was made out to be.

It turned out that the former CIA op had actually been set up by Becky, the girl from his AA group with whom he’d been forming a bond. Betrayed, Huck became determined to bring her down — until she convinced him otherwise. In fact, the two almost ran away together.

They didn’t, of course. A change of heart made Huck return to the original plan, but when she found out, Becky went nuts. She killed his “family” and took off in the wind, which is especially unfortunate considering the episode ended with Huck in handcuffs!

For the full story on all these developments from the epic episode and a few looks at what’s ahead, read our interview with Diaz below. READ FULL STORY »

At the end of last week’s Scandal, with President Fitzgerald (Tony Goldwyn) still fighting for his life, Vice President Sally Langston (Kate Burton) snaked her way through a number of loopholes to become the first female Commander-in-chief. Oh, and then there was that little issue of HUCK POSSIBLY BEING THE PERSON WHO SHOT THE PRESIDENT.

Yes, Scandal is heating up and going into tonight’s midseason finale, the show will reach full boil, says Dan Bucatinsky, who plays James, a political journalist and longtime partner to the president’s chief of staff, Cyrus (Jeff Perry). “What happens to Cyrus is going to impact James when the VP takes oath,” says the actor, who is also a consulting producer on Grey’s Anatomy. “[Cyrus] is the chief-of-staff for Fitz, but not necessarily the chief-of-staff to [Langston].” And that’s just the start of the conflicts that arise in this episode.

As the music supervisor for shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas has long been TV’s musical rainmaker. Pinpointing emergent, primetime-ready tunes for those shows is one challenge, but for her work on Scandal, another drama from Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes, Patsavas faced another one — breathing new life into old-school R&B classics. Below, Patsavas discusses how she takes a well-worn track like Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie” and gives it new meaning, plus her one major exception in Scandal‘s soulful set list.

Shonda Rhimes and Kerry Washington on 'Oprah's Next Chapter': Five highlights

Last night on Oprah’s Next Chapter, TV maven Shonda Rhimes and EW Entertainer of the Year Kerry Washington sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a wide-ranging chat that covered everything from Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy to… a–holes. (Before you ask, yes, they semi-bleeped.)

Below were the five most revealing moments from the trio’s chat:

* Oprah learned about Scandal via Twitter. Good work, #Gladiators! Even someone like Oprah, who one would assume is the first to know about pretty much everything, gets TV suggestions via Twitter! “On my Twitter feed, everybody was talking about it, and I was like ‘What is this show?!’” revealed O. “So I started watching because of Twitter.” Meanwhile, Washington admitted that she only watches Scandal because of the cast’s live chats on the social media network. Otherwise, she says, “I don’t really like to watch my work when it’s done. It’s a little bit uncomfortable. I literally watch because I want to be able to chat with the fans.” READ FULL STORY »

As we saw in last week’s episode of Scandal, the president has been shot!

But in this week’s episode — in addition to seeing the fallout from the assassination attempt — we also get a glimpse of slightly better times thanks to a series of flashbacks.

In the one you can watch exclusively below, which takes place in the very early days of Fitz’s presidency, Olivia and Fitz are as star-crossed as ever and engaged in a very heated discussion about their interactions. “My whole life is you. I can’t breathe because I’m waiting for you. You own me, you control me, I belong to you…” she says.

How does he react? Watch below to find out and for more scoop on tomorrow’s episode, click over to Spoiler Room. And make sure to come back tomorrow for another installment of our Behind the Scenes videos with cast member Josh Malina. READ FULL STORY »

Another week, another great behind-the-scenes video from Scandal cast member Josh Malina, who this week scored some one-on-one time with the First Lady herself, Bellamy Young.

Fittingly, tonight’s episode of Scandal is an intense one that finds Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Mellie (Young) at odds once again as his 50th birthday approaches. And if the promos are any indications, big stuff is about to go down.

But ahead of the drama, make sure you see Mellie’s portrayer in a much lighter mood below. (And if you haven’t seen them, you can also watch installments from previous weeks.) READ FULL STORY »

'Neighbors,' 'Scandal' get full seasons

ABC is giving full-season pickups to freshman comedy The Neighbors and returning drama Scandal.

Nope, Scandal didn’t already have one. Second-season shows often get full season orders, but ABC has been cautious with the Shonda Rhimes political soap. But in the wake of its reasonably steady performance on Thursdays this fall, Scandal is now getting an extra nine episodes and its first full season. (Scandal is averaging 8.1 million viewers and a 2.5 in adults 18-49, plus a hearty 45 percent DVR boost).

As for Neighbors, it’s been the weakest link in ABC’s Wednesday night comedy block, but hasn’t been nearly the disaster that critics had predicted/hoped. The comedy has averaged 6.8 million viewers and 2.0 in the demo with DVR.

Still no word on ABC’s freshman dramas. We’re told the network will likely decide on Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue this week or early next week. Get this: They’ve averaged exactly the same not-good demo rating. But Last Resort (9.1 million, 2.3) has a much harder job opening Thursdays against huge competition and delivers a bigger overall audience compared to Sunday’s 666 (6.5 million, 2.3). However, Last Resort just went down — but that’s a military-themed show against the World Series, so are you really going to hold that against them? READ FULL STORY »
