Hes doing pretty well on that.
He really is obsessed with work.
You know theres a ticking bomb in there somewhere for him, that hes trying to function well.
I dont want to give anything away, but hes trying to find his way.
That ticking time bomb is the fact that Fitz does still love Olivia.
In my opinion, absolutely, Goldwyn says.
I think hes miserable, but hes not showing it.
Hes being very stoic.
However, Goldwyn notes that Fitz would be rather devastated should he discover what Olivia did.
That said, he got beyond the fact that her father was responsible for murdering his son.
Theres no logic to Fitzs love for Olivia, so I think he could get past it.
I think he would have to because hes in love with her.
Its going to be horrible if he finds out.
Olivia is trying to figure out what her new life is, Goldwyn says.
Shes so different, Katie Lowes adds, echoing Washingtonsrecent sentiment.
Yet again, when we come back, theres a whole new evolution to Olivia.
Scandalreturns Thursday, Feb. 11 at 9 p.m.
