'I trust her,' she said. 'We are where we are because of her decision making.'




In a new interview for the April issue of Adweek the 39-year-old star said that some of the shockers like last year's kidnapping storyline and Kerry's character Olivia getting an abortion earlier this season, took her by surprise.

The star explained: 'I had no idea that the abortion scene was coming until I turned the page at the table read and read it out loud with everybody else,

'There are occasional moments when she'll give me a hint about something that's coming, but it's very, very rare.' she added.






But the mother-of-one said she is fine with letting Rhimes take the reins and has never had an interest in becoming a show producer.

'I show up and try to bring it to life,' she explained.

Back in November writer and producer Rhimes revealed she knows exactly how she wants Scandal to end and how it will play out.

Kerry told Adweek that while she hasn't talked to Rhimes about how the series will come to a close, she's confident that she will take the show where it needs to go.

'I trust her,' she said. 'We are where we are because of her decision making.'

In Scandal Kerry plays crisis management expert Olivia Pope who works with politicians and power brokers in Washington DC.

She is now starring in and producing a new HBO movie titled Confirmation, about Clarence Thomas' US Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

Kerry plays Thomas' former assistant Anita Hill who made sexual harassment allegations against him during his October 1991 televised confirmation hearings for a seat on the US Supreme Court.

'This story resonated with me because I had really personal memories, not as much about the hearings themselves, because I was probably about 13 when it happened, but I had real memories about how it affected my parents, their feelings about the hearings' the actress said of the project.
