Shonda Rhimes reacted to "Good Morning America" anchor Lara Spencer suggesting that "Scandal" was coming to an end with season 6. "Whoa, @GMA: I never said this was the final season of #scandal. Way to make me spit out my coffee!" she tweeted.

During a segment on the ABC morning show, Spencer showed viewers a social media post of the "Scandal" cast returning to the set to film the new season. She said, "A little bittersweet, however, because it has been said that this is also going to be the final season."
The anchor apparently saw Rhimes' tweet as she quickly clarified her comment live on the show, "We said that this was the last season of Scandal. Shonda has weighed in, she just tweeted, and she said we made her spit out her coffee. My apologies."
"She said she has an ending in mind, but that ending is not happening this next season," Spencer added. "So, correction: Ending in mind, but when that ending is happening we don't know." She once again told Rhimes, "I'm sorry I made you spit out your coffee."
The female TV producer replied on her Twitter, "Thank you for the correction, @LaraSpencer -- you have my back!" Spencer responded, "@shondarhimes, always have your back! Always a #gladiator! #ScandalForever."
