Our Favorite Gladiators, Politicians, Puppets & Gangstas... WHERE DID THEY LEAVE OFF?

Greetings Gladiators!!!

Well, it's been quite some time since we've seen our beloved friends in Washington, so before we indulge in Season 6 of Scandal (returning Jan 26), let's review... shall we?!

• The Fixer - Olivia Pope

• The Master - Eli "Daddy" Pope

• The President - Fitzgerald Grant

• The First Lady - Presidential candidate, Senator Mellie Grant

• The Snake - Vice Presidential candidate, Jake Ballard

• The Thug - Vice Presidential candidate, Cyrus Beane

• The Punching Bag- Attorney General David Rosen

• The Hamster - Abbey Whelan

• The Posse - The Gladiator Squad of OPA

• Quinn | Not much left off regarding Quinn. She spent all season 5 attempting to "run" OPA, and she did a fair job. In the finale, she and Huck team up to get rid of a potential VP candidates's sordid past as a drug dealer. By the end, there is no personal story line cliff hangars for Quinn.
• Huck | Not much. He did have a nervous breakdown earlier in the season, but came back to OPA renewed. Gave Liv the perfect "Thug Life" pep talk she needed in order to go and take Jake from "Command".
• Marcus | All season 5 he had been trying to fit in with Huck and Quinn, and after growing weary of them, he focused on his work. One huge plot point for him this season was his almost kiss with Mellie Grant, after Susan Ross conceded and Mellie won the Republican spot in the Presidential race. Could the writers be planning to revisit this little spark they shared? Hmmm....

  

   Season 5, Episode 20, "Trump Card"

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

• The Vice President - Susan Ross  | Very interested to see where we find her in Season 5... if we see her at all. She seemed to have ended things for good with David Rosen, and she dropped out of the Presidential race. Not really sure where they're planning to go with her.

• The Serpent - VP Chief of Staff, Elizabeth North  | Last time we saw Liz, she was having disgusting sexual relations with David Rosen in order to get her way. She spent the entire season bullying Abbey, using David, trying to control Susan (being her chief of staff and all), and trying to block out Cyrus, which we all know is very unlikely for her to accomplish. In the finale, she thought David Rosen would be running as the VP candidate with Frankie Vargas after she saw Cyrus come in and meet with Rosen, but once David got the phone call that it wouldn't be him, that left Susan upset and deflated. What we do know is that she's been promoted to a full time character on the show, but what we don't know is in what capacity she'll function, since her current storyline was left with not many options at the end of Season 5.

• The Tea Spiller - Former VP, Sally Langston and host of The Liberty Report | Well, what we do know is that we'll likely meet Sally at the beginning of Season 6 right where we met her in the beginning of Season 5... at her beloved desk on the set of her political show, The Liberty Report. I am sure she'll be spilling all of the tea in order to help close the gaps for us over the past near 8 months.
