All through the final three a long time, many stars have graced the Legislation & Order franchise and, typically, they’ve even performed a couple of character. (On the SAG Awards earlier this 12 months, Keke Palmer even requested celebrities to drink in the event that they appeared on the present.) As L&O continues to air as a part of the 2025 TV schedule, I’m nonetheless hoping for a Scandal reunion between Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn. On that be aware, Goldwyn offered an replace.
It was in 2024 that Tony Goldwyn joined L&O as DA Nicholas Baxter, taking on for Sam Waterston. Though he’s now taking part in a lawyer, Goldwyn is definitely nonetheless President Fitz Grant from Scandal in lots of followers’ eyes, and he and Kerry Washington (who performed fixer Olivia Pope) don’t let individuals neglect it. The 2 nonetheless often get collectively and/or specific their love and assist for each other. With regards to an on-screen reunion, Goldwyn desires it badly, sharing the next sentiments with Individuals:
Kerry Washington higher present up sooner or later or one other. I preserve bugging her about it. We’ll see if I can speak her into it.
The truth that Tony Goldwyn is even bugging Kerry Washington to be on Legislation & Order reveals simply how shut the 2 nonetheless are, if their frequent reunions weren’t any indication. When Goldwyn was requested about whether or not Washington would possibly really present up on the procedural, he stated “I don’t know!” That apart, he additionally defined why making it occur could also be “powerful”:
However she’s simply teasing me. I’ve bought to give you the best function for her. And he or she does have three kids in Los Angeles, and he or she has a reasonably busy profession. So it may be powerful.
Whether or not or not the Little Fires In every single place star will seem on Legislation & Order stays to be seen. Nevertheless, I nonetheless assume it is doable that it might occur. The actress is unquestionably busy today, however one would assume that she would attempt to carve out a while, particularly if it means she will get to reunite along with her good friend and former on-screen companion.
Tony Goldwyn beforehand expressed curiosity in reuniting with Kerry Washington on the long-running drama sequence, and he or she responded by saying they only should determine all of it out. It could definitely imply lots followers to see the celebrities who performed Fitz and Olivia collectively once more on display, regardless that they’d be taking part in utterly completely different characters. Scandal nonetheless stays a beloved present practically seven years after its conclusion on ABC, and it could be extremely shocking if NBC did not attempt to capitalize on that, in a means, for L&O.
Even when the 2 actors doesn’t seem collectively anytime quickly, although, Legislation & Order has been eventful as is recently. Between revisiting Worth’s tragic previous and bringing again a former star practically 20 years later as a brand new character, the drama remains to be thrilling. Here is hoping that Kerry Washington can enter the combination someway. Within the meantime, stream all seven seasons of Scandal utilizing a Hulu subscription.
