‘Scandal’ Cast Tweets Season 5 Premiere: ‘So What Did Y’all Think?’

TGIT! Shondaland got back in full swing on Thursday with the Season 5 premiere of “Scandal.”

Viewers broke out their popcorn, red wine and white hats for the occasion, of course, but they weren’t the only ones.

The cast and crew took to social media to celebrate the return of ABC’s smash political soap, kicking off the fifth season right along with devoted fans.

“Heavy is the Head” picks up from the aftermath of Season 4, as Mellie gets sworn in as a U.S. Senator but receives divorce papers from Fitz, Cyrus ponders his life outside the White House, Huck bears the weight of his gruesome crimes and turns to Jake for help, and a reunited Olivia and Fitz continue wondering if they’re ever going to make jam in Vermont.

As usual, things are far from “handled.”

Despite “Scandal’s” constant flurry of loose ends, however, Sally Langston couldn’t help but unthread yet another at the episode’s closing. The former Vice President-turned-cable news pundit outed Liv and Fitz on her show “The Liberty Report” with photographic evidence of their affair.

The Gladiators themselves had a blast weighing in on the various turn of events, Tweeting throughout the night about their experiences watching the episode and making it. Some, like star Kerry Washington, shared their gratitude for being part of such a rewarding creative environment. Others, like Tony Goldwyn, just sat back like the rest of us and enjoyed the ride.

Here’s what the “Scandal” team had to say on Twitter about Thursday’s Season 5 premiere:
