Scandal Just Recast A Big Role For Season 6

No bad blood occurred between Scandal’s creative team and Joelle Carter, thankfully, and it all comes down to scheduling issues.

Though the character was played by Justified vet Joelle Carter for the characters’ episodes during Season 5, Carter had to exit the ABC drama, which has brought in Glee star Jessalyn Gilsig to take her place.

Unless, in light of the casting change, Shonda Rhimes and her writers decide to go in a different direction.
