In a desperate attempt to start a new life, Tad Cummins — the former Tennessee teacher accused of grooming and kidnapping his 15-year-old female student — allegedly tried to paddle to Mexico from California in a kayak he purchased.

The revelations was among several from testimony given during Cummins’ appearance in federal court on Friday in Nashville on a kidnapping and sex crimes charge, a federal official tells People.

During the 38 days the pair was missing, Cummins purchased a two-seater kayak for $1,500 in San Diego. The 50-year-old allegedly told investigators he planned to take Elizabeth Thomas to Mexico. But after testing the...

If you had asked me at the beginning of Scandal Season 6 if I thought it would serve as a return to form for the series, I would have probably laughed in your face. 

Scandal Season 6 Episode 12 was another crazy hour that made me realize why I fell in love with the series all those years ago.

Having all of the characters together to take down the enemy was the best move. 

Characters like David, Jake, and Marcus have sat perched on the periphery this season, with nothing to do. A show like Scandal has a lot of key players, so I can understand that it happens sometimes. 

David has never been the most faithful person, so I think he's not the innocent bystander he makes himself out to be with the ladies. He needs to own his shit, and maybe he'll find someone who is not working for the likes of Peus.

Wake up in the morning, wipe away the blood of Elizabeth North from your Armani white pant suit, and get to going, you know what I’m saying? We kick off this week after an insane Scandal episode last week that said goodbye to everyone’s least favorite favorite. And it’s almost as if an apocalyptic reset button has been pushed. Olivia is in bed with Fitz. Rowan is captured and being jailed in the White House, but with danishes. Isn’t that a great life? Rowan doesn’t want it though.

Scandal‘s new Big Bad makes a house call on tonight’s episode (ABC, 9/8c) — and Olivia is less-than-pleased to make his acquaintance.

In this sneak peek from the game-changing hour, the head of Opa finally comes face-to-face with Theodore Peus (played by David Warshofsky), the mastermind behind the Shadowy Organization™ that’s been attempting to seize control of the White House. Threats are made, stern glances are exchanged, and we get one last chance to say goodbye to Elizabeth North.

Liz is dead!

On Scandal Season 6 Episode 11, Elizabeth North was given her marching orders with a golf club. Yes, we're still not quite over that.

Below, TV Fanatics Jasmine Blu, Christine Hinton, Sarah Hearon and Jim Garner discuss the big death, Olitz reuniting and Mellie's next move.

Liz is dead. React!

Jasmine: Ding-dong, the witch, is gone! Somewhere around the time of Liz and David's less than appealing sexy times (and them screwing over Susan), I was 100% done with Liz North.

Portia de Rossi is great, but with every scene, I wondered if the generous Ellen DeGeneres could do anything to save us from her wife's terrible character.

R.I.P., Liz. You overstayed your welcome, but you went out the same way you came in: being opportunistic and conniving.

Christine: Eh. I liked the actress, and I didn’t mind Liz in the midst of the politics, but I...

2017-04-21T05:37:41-07:00'Scandal' Showrunner Talks About Season's Big Twist

For only the second time in Scandal's six-season run, the ABC political thriller shockingly said farewell to a series regular.

Thursday's episode featured the surprising death of series regular Portia de Rossi's Elizabeth North, Mellie's (Bellamy Young) savvy chief of staff.

"I have been a fan of Portia's for years and it was an honor to have her join our Scandal family," Scandal creator and showrunner Shonda Rhimes said in an exclusive statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Portia infused Liz North with a smart, powerful and vulnerable soul while also making the humor sing — and that brought all of us in the writers' room a lot of joy. If I could keep her forever, I would — but kidnapping is illegal. Besides, I am incredibly impressed with the vision she has for her creative future.

Spoiler Alert!

Do Not Proceed If You Have Not Watched Scandal Season 6 Episode 11!!!

You've been warned. The rest of you probably want to know what the heck is going on!

For the second time in Scandal's history, a series regular has been killed off.

Portia de Rossi first joined Scandal back in Scandal Season 4 as Elizabeth North. She was made a series regular just before Scandal Season 5.

Despite the heavy storyline following Mellie and the presidency during Scandal Season 6 and the fact North is her Chief of Staff, de Rossi hasn't been around all that much.

There's a reason for that. She's been very busy.

So busy, in fact, that she's off to do other things creatively, and in very dramatic fashion, North lost her life on "Trojan Horse," when she was beaten to death with a golf club by the Mystery Woman to keep Mellie in line.

Mellie...

Warning: Spoiler alert! Do not proceed if you have not watched Thursday’s episode of Scandal.

Blackmail took a bloody turn on Thursday’s episode of Scandal, and Mellie Grant’s chief of staff, Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi), paid the ultimate price.

After Olivia (Kerry Washington) and her team got Cyrus (Jeff Perry) out of jail so he could be sworn in as the next President of the United States, Mellie (Bellamy Young) was ready to concede her defeat -- until some shady characters showed up to convince her otherwise.

The secretive group, headed by a Mystery Woman (Zoe Perry) and her boss, Peus (David Warshofsky), stepped their blackmail game up when Mellie refused to bend to their wishes, brutally bashing in Liz’s head to show the former Flotus just how serious they were about getting her in the West Wing, whether she likes it or not.

Olivia hasn’t been a hero in a while, and with this season of Scandal, it’s hard to come back, but it’s doing its best, y’all.

Ready to wear the White Hat™ again, Olivia wants to be your star. She wants to put the right man in the White House. But when you have a woman who’s ready to wield a putter any which way, the future of the good guys doesn’t look so bright. Doesn’t make sense? Let’s take a walk together…...

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode of “Scandal”) Wait for it … “Scandal” killed off Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi) on Thursday night’s episode — only the second series regular casualty — and quite frankly, that’s not enough and we demand there be more deaths. Let’s put this in perspective for you. We are deep into Season 6 of “Scandal,” and only Harrison Wright (Columbus Short) and Elizabeth North, who’s really not even that important to the show if we’re being super honest, have died. Also Read: 'Scandal':...

We need to talk about the emotional rollercoaster that was Thursday’s episode of Scandal.

From that shocking death to who was (finally) elected President, Gladiators were overwhelmed with the events that went down.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

Viewers and fans said goodbye to Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi), unfortunately due to shocking circumstances circling Mellie Grant’s presidential future.

Olivia (Kerry Washington) & Co. teamed up to free Cyrus (Jeff Perry) from prison so he could become the next Potus, Mellie (Bellamy Young) was set to concede. But North wasn’t going to let Mellie back down as it turned out...

Cyrus may not be behind bars anymore, but as we saw on Thursday’s Scandal, the weight of his experience has left him a prisoner in his own mind.

Following the vice president-elect’s exoneration, there was but one question on America’s lips: Would he take back the Oval Office, or would the country remain #WithHer? Though Mellie initially resisted ceding the presidency — chewing every last bit of scenery as she lashed out at Olivia, at one point making literal Biblical references — she eventually agreed to throw in the towel.

Spoiler Alert: The story includes a detail about tonight’s episode of ABC’s Scandal. Tonight’s “Trojan Horse” marked the final episode of Scandal‘s Portia De Rossi, whose character Elizabeth North was brutally murdered in the ongoing fight for power in Washington.

Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday’s episode of Scandal. Read out at your own risk!

The mystery organization’s threats became very real during Thursday’s episode of Scandal when a beloved character met a bloody end.

After Olivia (Kerry Washington) & Co. teamed up to free Cyrus (Jeff Perry) from prison so he could become the next Potus, Mellie (Bellamy Young) was set to concede, but Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi) convinced her not to back down. Unfortunately, it turns out Lizzie was doing the bidding of the mysterious organization!

The following story contains spoilers from this week’s Scandal. Proceed at your own peril.

Proving the ol’ show still has a few tricks up its sleeve, Scandal sent a major character to the Other Side in Thursday’s episode. (Last chance to hit the nearest exit without getting spoiled!)

Towards the end of the hour, Portia de Rossi‘s Elizabeth was brutally murdered as poor Mellie looked on. (Read Andy Swift’s complete recap here.) The decision to send “Lizzie Bear” packing was made after De Rossi asked to be let out of her contract.

Recently, ABC dropped the new,official synopsis/description for their upcoming "Scandal" episode 12 of season 5. The episode is entitled, "Wild Card," and it turns out that we're going to see some very interesting and drama-filled stuff go down as two, new mastermind plots get set up by Cyrus and Elizabeth North! We're also going to see Jake get the 3rd degree from Olivia about just what the hell does he intend to do, and more! In the new, 12th episode press release: While Fitz is preoccupied with his own interests, Cyrus will start to construct his next master plan, and Elizabeth North is going to use David to mastermind a plan of her own. In the meantime, Olivia is going to continue to question what exactly Jake is planning in his new role as head of the Nsa. The episode was written by Mark Fish, and it was directed by Allison Liddi Brown.

Early in last week's episode of "Scandal," Scott Foley's spy Jake Ballard finally lost his patience with the show's main character (and his ex-girlfriend), D.C. fixer Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). He compared her to a plague, and asked, "How does someone as brilliant and accomplished as you not know what you are? Who you are?" It was a dynamite scene, in a "Scandal" season that's been full of them. At least once per week, and often more, the Shonda Rhimes-created drama will pair off two characters — say, Tony Goldwyn's arrogant President Fitzgerald Grant with his former chief of staff Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry), or Fitz with soon-to-be-ex-wife Mellie (Bellamy Young) — with a tangled, tragic mix of personal and professional history, and lets them tear each other into little tiny pieces over all their past sins. It's fantastic each time. "Scandal" is a fundamentally melodramatic show, where...

Can Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) fix her own Scandal?

Last week, she and President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) seemed to finally be making strides toward a healthy relationship – until footage of Olivia and the still-married leader of the free world's sexy Pda made its way to national TV.

In an exclusive sneak peek of Thursday's episode, Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi) tells Fitz that the White House has ruled out an external security breach, meaning someone on the inside betrayed him. But Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield) warns the leak is "not the issue."

"I've got a room full of press getting rowdier by the minute.

It's been a long time since we saw Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) being Washington, DC's Hbic—like, Way too long—so it's understandable that you might have forgotten some of the bananas events that happened in the Scandal season four finale. The episode ended with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Olivia k-i-s-s-i-n-g, but before they got there—openly making out on a White House balcony!—a Lot of stuff went down. For example, before the makeout sesh, Fitz kicked Senator Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., along with his top adviser Cyrus (Jeff Perry), and installed Portia de Rossi's Elizabeth North. Oh, and Huck (Guillermo Diaz) murdered an entire room of...

Last night’s episode of Scandal featured a tawdry sham marriage between two men. Personally, I was moved, because I want a world where gay people can abuse marriage as well as straight people do. That said, I hope Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wasn’t watching.

Scandal opened with the revelation that Michael, who I completely forgot was alive, was out in those D.C. streets trying to get chose. Of course, for a hooker, this is a part of his business model; however, if you recall (and if you don’t, I don’t blame you as I forgot, too), Cyrus and Michael made a little deal in which they pretended to be crazy in love to save Cyrus’ job. That means Michael is supposed to stay his ass...

For the first time this season, I enjoyed Scandal a whole bunch and without excessive levels of confusion (just my usual levels). Still, I have questions per usual.

Of course he was because he’s always thinking with the wrong head. What is it with Republicans and bringing their personal life into war?

On the hit ABC political drama Scandal, Portia de Rossi plays the duplicitous Elizabeth North, whose conniving schemes are beginning to come undone.

It's the type of role that de Rossi has said she’s wanted since the series first began, so it only makes sense that the actress was rather tight-lipped about revealing spoilers when talking to Et at the 2015 People's Choice Awards.
