Kerry Washington has delighted “Scandal” fans with a nostalgic treat at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Thursday night. The actress, who gained fame for her role as Olivia Pope on the popular ABC series “Scandal,” shared two selfies from the United Center in Chicago featuring her former co-star Tony Goldwyn.
Goldwyn, who played President Fitzgerald Grant III on the show, joined Washington in a reunion that instantly captured the hearts of their followers. The photos, posted on X (formerly Twitter), show the duo back together, radiating the same chemistry that made them fan favorites.
“Giving the people what they want,” Washington captioned one of the selfies, prompting enthusiastic reactions from fans on social media. One user joked about the duo’s playful dynamic, saying, “Pretty sure y’all took this picture after you had a fight about how much you love each other backstage.” Another user simply expressed their joy with, “Yes! We love to see it!”
Washington and Goldwyn’s on-screen relationship continues to resonate with fans, even years after “Scandal” ended in 2018. Their social media interactions often spark nostalgia among followers who fondly remember their on-screen romance.
In addition to her memorable photos, Washington was slated to host the final night of the DNC. Meanwhile, Goldwyn, who hosted the opening night of the convention, shared his excitement about meeting key political figures. He revealed to Variety that while he had met President Joe Biden before, this was his first encounter with Vice President Kamala Harris, describing the experience as “thrilling.”
Goldwyn’s recent Instagram post also showcased his ongoing camaraderie with Washington, captioning a photo of the two laughing together with, “What can I say? @kerrywashington just makes me laugh!”
This reunion at the DNC has undoubtedly rekindled fans’ affection for the beloved “Scandal” duo, making it a highlight of the convention and a memorable moment for their dedicated followers.
