There was some Friends-tastic news on Wednesday when it was announced that Lisa Kudrow has landed a recurring role on ABC’s Scandal.
However, spoilerphobic Shondaland is keeping details of her role under lock and key, only offering up that Kudrow would play a politician in the upcoming third season. Like the true Gladiators we are, TVGuide.com decided to come up with a list of roles Kudrow could play in the upcoming season:
OPA client:
Kudrow could become a new client of Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) & Associates as they get back to the case-of-the-week format at the beginning of the season. With Kudrow recurring, it could be a particularly difficult cleanup that connects to whatever overall mystery we’ll see this year.
Governor Reston’s running mate:
Governor Reston (Tom Amandes) tried to blackmail Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) into being his running mate in the upcoming presidential election, but Billy’s (Matt Letscher) arrest ruined that. Still, we have a feeling Reston will reemerge during the upcoming election, and maybe this time, he’ll have a female running mate by his side.
