Kerry Washington delights us from the past!
The Thicker than water The 46-year-old author took a walk down memory lane in a video he shared on social media with Tony Goldwyn on Wednesday. The actors played movie lovers in the hit ABC drama Scandal from 2012 to 2018.

Although it’s been more than five years since the series ended, the two returned to their iconic characters in the clip. “Hi 👋🏾 DC #Olitz is ready for you ❤️,” Washington wrote in the caption.
The video shows Washington walking down a hallway and stopping to knock on the door, which Goldwyn opens. The two say “Hi” to each other before gazing into each other’s eyes. Washington then laughed and hugged Goldwyn.
Their characters would often say “Hi” to each other before reuniting during key moments in the series’ seven-season run. The two shared one of those moments during the first season when Fitz left the White House against the wishes of the Secret Service and showed up at Olivia’s apartment.
