Scandal Season 4 Spoilers: Will Abby Return to Olivia Pope's Team?

Olivia Pope and her team have mostly reunited during Season 4 of Scandal, but Abby is still working as the White House Press Secretary and is harboring a major grudge toward her former boss. But will the plucky redhead rejoin her old team?

The "Spoiler Room" column at EW.com has the answer.

"Abby will be sticking around the White House for the foreseeable future. However, her icy relationship with Olivia will thaw a bit when an event actually drives the two back together on an emotional level we've rarely seen. I wonder if Jake's arrest has anything to do with it. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge."

In other Scandal news, the shocking report 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.
