News of the casting was announced Wednesday on Twitter by the actress’ wife Ellen DeGeneres.
So annoying when people brag on twitter & that’s why I’m not tweeting that Portia just signed on to do a top secret arc on “Scandal”. Oops.

Scandal returns on Thursday, Sept. 25, now hammocked between Grey’s Anatomy and the new Shondaland drama How to Get Away With Murder.
haha .. Ellen is always raving about Scandal.. she must be so happy!
Nice addition to the show
CONGRATULATIONS Portia!! ❤❤❤
Ooooh! The new season of Scandal is sounding better all the time; new blood is a good thing. I’d love to see her (try to) go toe to toe with Olivia – can’t wait!
Great night for TV @ last.
I liked her character in Alley McBeal
I see Ellen got tired of her lying around the house all day and got her a job.
I wonder if she is playing the new vp’s wife. Isn’t Andrew married?
Woohoo, great addition to an already great show. Way to go Shondra.
