Lorcia Cooper Dishes On Her ‘Scandal!’ Return And What To Expect. After so many years since leaving the drama series, Lorcia Cooper is back as Erin Martins on e.TV’s Scandal! and as she always does everytime she’s onscreen, she’s bringing the drama.
Erin storyline will revolve around the resurfacing of Dintle’s child, Mo whom she adopted. “What will get them hooked is when they find out what happened in Tino and Erin’s lives in the years they’ve been missing. They are going to meet this new teenage daughter, but they are going to meet her in relation to Erin, like what kind of mom Erin is and also the things that unfold between the mom and the challenges of the adopted child are interesting. The dynamic between Dintle and Erin, that’s something,” the actress shared.
On her return, Lorcia shared how everything has changed and how she didn’t necessarily anticipate it saying, “When you leave a show you kind of leave. There’s no ‘it is open for you to come back’, When you leave you carry on with life. It feels like a complete time walk, I left there and Dintle is now a adult and has kids in the storyline. They were in school when I left. Dintle has a child and Lindiwe is married and I’m like, what this is crazy.”
“Erin is back on Scandal ! For a lil bit.. Super crazy stepping back on the @etvscandal set after so many years, crazy! Tune in to @etvonline weekdays @ 19:30 – So much has changed,you don’t want to miss it x,” Lorcia shared more of her excitement on In stagram.
