"Scandal"ous
DevaDonna loves television.
So much so, that I found a site that lets me read the scripts for shows that premiered this season and in many years past.
I read the pilot for the ABC show "Scandal" and noticed that our protagonist, played by Kerry Washington, was named Olivia Prince.
Now, in the iteration that made it to air, her last name was changed to Pope. I wondered why that was.
A clever new colleague happened to be discussing why he doesn't like the show, and he said:
"I know it's small, but I don't like that her last name is Pope. She is having an affair with the President, so there is supposed to be separation between church and state..."
AHA!
I don't know if her name was changed to Pope for that reason or not - I'm not even sure if many of us were savvy enough to pick up on that -- but I actually think it's a cute, cheeky convention.
Do you think it's corny?
