Original story (February 20): EW says that Dunham, best known for her HBO dramedy Girls, is set to appear on the Kerry Washington-led drama sometime in March.
Details surrounding her role are being kept under wraps, but EW says that Dunham’s character “may have a connection to OPA.”
Is her character someone who used to have the hots for Huck? Is she looking to fill that open spot left by Harrison? Is she in a relationship with [spoiler], who appeared during last night’s episode? No matter what her role, we have to think that Dunham will be bringing a little bit of humor to Scandal since she tends to stick with comedy roles.
“Basically, my life’s great passion is the idea of being a guest star on Scandal,” Dunham said during an interview in February 2014. “I want to be like, a senator who did something wrong.”
If Rhimes couldn’t give her a senator role, Dunham said she’d like to play “a really evil character, it would be really fun.”
With Scandal taking a break next week to make room for the How to Get Away with Murder two-hour finale, the next episode will be airing on March 5. A press release for the new episode titled “The Lawn Chair” makes no mention of Dunham, so the actress may not be appearing until later in the month.
… Unless her role is a big surprise, like a certain someone’s appearance on last night’s Scandal.
