Scandal's Scott Foley Spills on That Time Jake Almost Died

Mere weeks ago, Jake was nearly killed off on Scandal. It was a close call, and even Scott Foley was nervous! In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he admitted to being worried when he had to reshoot the scene, which was originally supposed to be Jake being stabbed just one time. "I wrote Shonda an email and I was like 'Hey, so I know because you've killed people off before that you usually have a discussion with them prior to killing them off,'" he said. "'Do we need to have a discussion?' And she wrote back, 'No it looks like you're fine . . . for now!'" Foley also told DeGeneres he's been wearing the underwear that she gave him back in February and spilled on how fans first hated Jake for getting in the middle of Olivia and Fitz, but that things have changed. "The tide turned and people were really upset that Jake might be dead and it felt great," he said. "It was kind of like reading your own obituary, though."
