A special scene in Monday's episode will see two regular characters (Carol Jackson and Denise Fox) discuss their memories of Mandela's release from prison. It was one of the key moments of Mandela's life, remembered around the world as a long-coveted victory against his oppressors. Mandela later became president of South Africa, and oversaw the country's transition from apartheid. He died on Thursday, aged 95, after years of declining health.
Producers at the long-running soap said they chose to add the scene into the existing show, saying they aim "to reflect big news stories and events".
The show's spokesperson said: "Nelson Mandela had such a huge effect on so many people's lives that we felt it was important to reflect the impact his death has had."

"To me it felt the natural progression of Huck’s character. If Quinn’s gonna do these things, then Huck is gonna do what Huck does. I try not to make the characters bend to our will. If I’ve set up a world in which this is what Huck does, and this is the way Huck treats people who are traitors, and this is how Huck protects Olivia, then that’s what he’d have to do to Quinn as well."
SCANDAL Season 3 Episode Order Trimmed in Wake of Kerry Washington's Pregnancy News
The network gave no official explanation for the cutback, but it’s safe to say the decision was made in response to the real-life pregnancy of leading lady Kerry Washington. The actress’ spring due date would’ve made shooting those final four episodes next to impossible.
