Shonda pretty much had the writing on the wall in the season 3 finale, but it has just officially been announced that actor Columbus Short, who plays Harrison on ABC’s smash hit Scandal will not be returning for the 4th season.
Season 3 ended in quite the cliffhanger for the character as he was face to face with the barrel of a gun.
Short released a statement to Entertainment Weekly saying:
At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I’ve called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today. I would like to first thank [creator] Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast. Thank you GLADIATORS, who have supported me throughout my entire career and of course to ABC and Shondaland for allowing me to play such a pivotal role in the Scandal series. I have enjoyed every single minute of it.
All of this presumably comes on the heels of all of the charges and accusations that have plagued the 31-year-old.
Are you guys sad to see Columbus/Harrison go?
