Scandal Season 4 Spoilers: Paul Adelstein Returning

Leo Bergen was a recurring character on Season 3 of Scandal, and the character is coming back for another episode in Season 4.

EW.com reports Paul Adelstein, who previously appeared on another Shonda Rhimes series, Private Practice, will return as Leo in an upcoming episode, according to EW.com. Adelstein first appeared as Leo in Season 3 as a ruthless campaign consultant to Vice President Sally Langston (Kate Burton), who was running for President. He last appeared in the Season 3 finale, when he learned he would not become Chief of Staff after Sally lost the election.

Adelstein will appear in at least one episode in November. He next stars on Bravo's Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce.

In other news, the shocking news surrounding former 7^th Heaven star Stephen Collins has cost him a guest-starring role on an upcoming Season 4 episode of ABC's Scandal.

Buzzfeed first reported and E! News confirmed the actor, who allegedly confessed to molesting young girls in an audiotape leaked to the press, has been removed from the show. "We can confirm that we will not be airing any footage with Stephen Collins," an ABC representative told E! News.

Collins played Reverend Eric Camden for 11 seasons on 7^th Heaven and previously appeared in a Scandal episode in 2012 as Reed Walace. He tweeted in September about his upcoming guest spot. "Happy to say I did another episode of #Scandal," he wrote. "Had a gr8 time. Wish I could say more but @ShondaRhimes would have to kill me."

The tape's release led to Collins' firing from the upcoming movie Ted 2 and his resignation from the SAG-Aftra board.
