An ABC representative has confirmed with Soap Opera Network that it has cut the third season episode order of its red hot soap, "Scandal." Originally expected to air 22 episodes this season, "Scandal" will now only air 18. While the network did not give a reason for the episode reduction, it's understood that with series star Kerry Washington pregnant and it being harder to hide a pregnancy for a lead character on a primetime series than one on daytime, due to how much time it takes to film each episode, it's likely that the reduction occurred for this reason.
