ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 2 spoilers: Meet a family

Just when you think that “Scandal” would no longer has a use for Cyrus, the lobbyist finds a way to come slithering back into the world of the show. While we are moving in a slightly different direction for the upcoming eight episodes than we were for the first 13, there is still some rather interesting things coming up for Gregg Henry’s character.

According to a new report from TVLine, the ABC drama is looking to cast two characters who know Cyrus better than anyone: his glamorous wife Deborah and his wife Nikki, who is projecting a good girl image but has something far more sinister on the inside. There is no word yet on just when these characters will be making their debut, or what sort of roles they will be playing in the story. However, hopefully we can get to understand a little bit more about Cyrus through looking at some of the people he routinely surrounds himself with.

Thus far, it has been actually rather difficult to see where this “back nine” storyline is really going to lead. At the moment, all we really know is that Olivia Pope is trying to move forward with her life, but there are continuous roadblocks that continue to pop up. One of them, in President Fitzgerald Grant, just so happened to sleep with her Thursday night only to metaphorically spit in her face moments later. Based on that alone, we have a feeling that we are looking at a rather complicated storyline moving forward.
