Never watched Scandal fully, but I remember Scott Foley from Scream 3! That movie scared me as a kid but Roman Bridger was a memorable villain. Cool to see he's still active in the industry. Seems like a genuine bond between co-stars.

Kerry Washington is such a class act! Her birthday wishes are always so heartfelt. I remember binge-watching Scandal during lockdown—what a show! The chemistry between Olivia and Fitz was 🔥. Missing those days. Also, Scream 7 sounds interesting—hope it releases in India!

Nice to see friendship beyond work, but honestly, these Hollywood birthday posts feel a bit overhyped sometimes. Still, respect for Kerry Washington—she's a talented actress. On a side note, Scream series has really lost its touch after the original trilogy. Just my opinion! 😅

Waiting for Scream 7 to hit Indian theaters! 🎬 Neve Campbell returning as Sidney Prescott—that's the nostalgia we need. And Scott Foley as Roman Brider was iconic in Scream 3. Happy birthday to him and cheers to Kerry for keeping the Scandal family together!

Not a huge fan of these celebrity birthday posts making news headlines in India. We have so many important issues to cover—why is an American actor's birthday topping our entertainment section? 🙄 No disrespect to the actors, just think our media should focus on local talent too.
