Eli Pope (Snandal)
Most daughters and fathers have loving relationships, but that couldn’t be further from the truth for Olivia Pope, the central protagonist on Scandal, and her poppa Rowan “Eli” Pope, played with an often maniacal grace by Joe Morton. As the leader of the covert ops group B613, Eli has been responsible for the ruination and death of many people during his time on the show, including his own B613 agents. He evaded arrest for most of Season 4, and at one point ordered Huck to kill an entire jury so that his case could get thrown out – and he got the jury members’ names by blackmailing First Lady Mellie Grant. The season finally ended with him behind the bars, but you never know what Season 5 has for us.
