"Scandal" season 4 cast Kerry Washington is back at work after giving birth to baby Isabelle back in April. The actress who plays Olivia Pope is all praises for Lena Dunham and Oprah Winfrey after they both professed their admiration for the 37-year-old.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes posted a photo on her social media Who Say account of "Scandal" season 4 cast Kerry Washington covering a part of her face with next season's script.

The caption read: "Our own @kerrywashington at the #scandal table read! We are just starting the read!!"

Earlier, Shonda Rhimes revealed "Scandal" season 4 spoiles to TVLine when she was asked if they would add another series regular to replace Harrison (Columbus Short).

"Not yet.... I have no plans to do so, yet. When we left [off in the Season 3 finale], were there any gladiators?" she said.

The premiere, which airs on September 25, will resume about two-and-a-half months later from the season 3 finale and begin with Fitz's second inauguration, she said.

In another interview, Shonda Rhimes dished out "Scandal" season 4 spoilers toTVGuide: "When we leave, she's on a plane headed to God knows where. When we come back into the season, we find ourselves is a surprising place both time-wise and location-wise," she said.

Meanwhile, "Scandal" season 4 cast Kerry Washington gave love back when Stylist magazine asked for her reaction about "Girls" creator and star Lena Dunham and TV mogul Oprah Winfrey saying they are her fans.

"It's fun to hear that. There is a real circle of mutual respect. There are more opportunities for women and part of that is people like Lena and Oprah creating those opportunities and having a community that believes our successes and can help rather than take away from each other," she said.

She said that the more succesful the artist is, the more she or he is able to "inspire and create work for others. It's great when we live in a belief system. It works."
