Scandal's Artemis Pebdani on Susan's Big Secret: She Is in the Club Now

From my point of view, everything at her core, everything Susan does is for her daughter.

Running a presidential campaign is so much stress on home life and everything.

Ronnie supposedly committed suicide, but it's implied that Rowan killed him.

To tell you the truth, I don't remember if we find out or not.

How is Susan going to be affected by this whole ordeal?

Everybody depends on everybody else to keep their secrets.

What a dark world in politics! [Laughs]

Do you like that she's part of the club?

Susan was one of the few characters who was not wholesome, but clean.

Yeah, it's such huge pressure, 'Oh, she's the moral center.'

Is she going to tell David?

Does she feel the same way?

Once you've been hurt, once you've been cut that deeply, it's just so hard to come back from.

To play devil's advocate, now that we know she also had an affair, can she be so sanctimonious about it?

Every week, I show up in the writers' room, like, "Did I kill anybody?"

Scandal airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.
