Fans of the hit TV series Scandal would be glad to know that it is returning with more controversy and surprises as it premieres its 5th season on September 24. There may be a lot of new things going on but one thing would remain and that is the love affair between Olivia (played by Kerry Washington) and President Fitz (played by Tony Goldwyn).

Christian Today said that Shonda Rhimes who is the show runner of Scandal, confirmed that the drama series would even open with the two lovebirds and their reunion.

Rhimes said during an interview at the Television Critics Association summer tour, "That was a pretty harrowing place where the world had been blown apart for everybody except Olivia and Fitz, who were left on the Truman balcony... doing some kissing."  

This is pretty much what it is there to watch this season five, as there are not much anymore things to spoil from its new release. Kerry Washington also said that aside from her love affair with the President in the story, she doesn't know much what else should the fans wait for this time.

According to Access Hollywood, Washington said, "We pretty much come in right on time to figure out what the heck happened after that balcony and how are people dealing with it."

But here's what the fans could know about Liv's love affair with Fitz and it's the fact that despite of their love growing and continuing, the world they are living in also continues to fall apart. Jake (played by Scott Foley) becomes brokenhearted and Huck (played by Guillermo Diaz) is going to be dangerous for the eyes of Quinn (played by Katie Lowes). And also the character of Rowan Pope (played by Joe Morton) might just return.

Don't miss the season 5 premiere of Scandal on September 24.
