"Scandal" season 5 star Kerry Washington recently weighed in on Olivia Pope and President Fitzgerald Grant's affair post season 4.
In an interview with E! News, the actress admitted that she was scared to know that Olivia and President Fitz will finally be together in season 5.

Luckily, "Scandal" was picked up for a fifth season so fans could see more of Olivia and President Fitz's sweet and steamy moments.
Meanwhile, Washington also dished on how her character's relationship with the president would work considering that they have decided to stay away from each other in the previous seasons.
"They get to discover what that means, what's it like with all that tension of not being able to be together. What will it be like for them?" she said.
