Washington also shared a video with Goldwyn in which she tells him, \"Hi Tony. You look great.\" He replies, \"Hi Kerry. You look so beautiful.\"

Fans took to the comments of Washington's post to share steamy GIFs of her and Goldwyn's characters, who had an on-off romance on the Shonda Rhimes-created ABC series.

The pair starred on \"Scandal\" for its seven-season run between 2012 and 2018, with Washington playing White House \"fixer\" Olivia \"Liv\" Pope and Goldwyn playing President Fitzgerald \"Fitz\" Thomas Grant III.
