Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes promised more information about Olivia Pope's past in season 3 of the ABC drama series, she told Vanity Fair in its August 2013 issue. "I think it's time to unfold a little bit more about Olivia's character," Rhimes said. "We're in the writers' room right now, and we're still planning all that out. I have some very specific ideas, but we'll see how much we unfold."
