I’m not buying if Olitz is together the show has nowhere to go. But, I’m just a fan; I don’t act, write or produce. I hope the show have a lot of success I really do; I just won’t part take. I think this is a cope out. If all of this is necessary then 2 x19 – 2×21 didn’t need to happen. I feel that this: I’m not a toy for you to play with my hopes, my dreams or when you need your ratings to jump, I’m not a fly by night gladiator, If you want me back you need to earn me until then I’m done!

Given the nature of the show, this was predictable…in a good way. The viewing public is in an uproar but giving them what they want right now isn’t good for the longevity of the Olitz storyline. From the very beginning, their relationship has been full of obstacles. Some by circumstances beyond their control, others have been self-imposed. These are two powerful overachievers at the pinnacle of their professional lives who have gaping personal flaws. Daddy issues, control issues, trust issues, etc. I believe that both Fitz and Olivia have to first face their personal demons before they can FINALLY be together…as we all do in order to be in a loving, successful relationship. I think Liv was right to walk away right now because it is unrealistic for them to be together at this time. She nailed it when she told Fitz that he would come to resent her for Defiance if he didn’t run and win with Mellie by his side…It’s the only conceivable plan. I’m interested in seeing their evolution as individuals and how they will resolve these issues to have an even stronger connection. Remember how Liv told Edison that she wants a passionate, painful, life changing type of love…The season finale was just another example of her brokenness being played out. Fitz’s reaction with Mellie…just an example of his. Don’t give up on Olitz. The delayed gratification will make for some compelling storymaking…I hope!!!

Agreee with everything you both said. It’s lazy writing. There are tons of NEW things the writers can do with Fitz and Olivia other than sending him back to Mellie – AGAIN.

In reply to mehere. Maybe they need Castle writers to come to Scandal set and explain how to do it.

In reply to Chris. Sick of it, indeed. Fed up. It's over the top with the forces trying to keep them apart. Way over the top. If they don't rein in the story, the late night comedians are going to start laughing at it, not with it.

Oh, we are so sick of hearing that the only way for the writers to have something to write is to create faux angst for Olitz.
