LOS ANGELES, April 17 (UPI) — In the wake of his character, Jake Ballard’s death on Thursday’s episode, actor Scott Foley has confirmed his departure from Scandal.
To his fans’ dismay, the 42-year-old actor posted a tweet verifying the death. “So there it is. Thank you Twitter for tonight and all the Thursday nights. It’s such an honor. #Scandal.”
Joshua Malina, who plays David Rosen’s character, replied to his final message. “It’s been a real pleasure working with you @scottfoley.”
Foley’s character was, among many things, one of Olivia Pope’s love interests, a CIA operative, and ultimately a murderer.
In reality, Foley is a husband and father to two children. Earlier in the season, his wife Marika Domińczy tweeted, “don’t kill jake! My kids have to go to college!! Or something like that :) #Scandal.”
After Thursday’s episode, she can say she didn’t get her wish.
