Anatomy of a Scandal actor, Naomi Scott who plays Olivia Lytton reveals she is happy with the open ending that the show has given her.

Naomi Scott, Who Plays Olivia, Isn’t Disappointed by the “open-ended” Ending of &#8216;Anatomy of a Scandal&#8217;

David E. Kelley’s Anatomy of a Scandal is trending at #3 on Netflix’s top 10
chart globally. The drama tackles a sensitive subject, and questions privilege
and the corruption associated with power. James Whitehouse wrongs all 3 women on
the show: Sophie Whitehouse, Kae Woodcroft, and Olivia Lytton. But Lytton
doesn’t get a closure like the other two. In a recent interview, Olivia Lytton
actor Naomi Scott shared that she’s satisfied with the “open-ending.“


NAOMI: I THINK IT’S BETTER TO BE OPEN-ENDED THAN TRY TO DO SOMETHING JUST FOR
THE SAKE OF IT

When Naomi starts as an intern at the Parliament, she starts a torrid affair
with James Whitehouse. A minister in the parliament, James thinks he is above
all. But things start upside down for him when he stands trial for allegations
of rape. Naomi his former lover accuses him of sexual assault. This sets off a
chain of reactions for James and his wife Sophie, who is unable to digest the
news of her husband cheating. But the court acquits James of his crimes.

had shot a final scene for Anatomy of a Scandal.

right for the character.” 

In fact, Naomi Scott [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/naomi-scott] thinks it
perfectly reflects the experiences of sexual assault survivors in real life. She
explained,

through [similar experiences].”

EVEN SIENNA WAS CONTENT WITH HER CHARACTER’S ARC IN ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

“I like to imagine that Sophie and the children live on the coast in Dorset and
have a very, very normal, simple life, and the chain of ‘we are Whitehouses’ is
broken and she really starts to educate them in the realities of living a normal
existence,” said Miller.

illicit affair made headlines

his other crimes to Kate to lock him up for good.
