One of the story plots that excites fans for the premiere of "Scandal" Season 5 is that of US First Lady Mellie Grant, played by Bellamy Young.

"Scandal" season 4 finale showed Mellie Grant winning the Senatorial race but getting kicked out of the White House by US President Fitzgerald Grant, played by Tony Goldwyn.

On a podcast in Hollywood Life, Bellamy Young opened up about what she thinks of Mellie Grant's fate in "Scandal" Season 5.

"I can't imagine her saying, 'well I accept,'" Bellamy Young said. Will "Scandal" fans see a fiercer Mellie Grant in the upcoming season?

"I hope ultimately that Mellie is president and Fitz is by her side and he loves her so much again and they've weathered that Olivia (Kerry Washington) storm, and now they're together and it's happiness," Bellamy Young added.

In the last scene of the season 4 finale, crisis management expert Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) reunited with President Grant in the White House. It would be interesting to learn how things will turn out for Mellie - in terms of her personal life and her political career.

"Mellie is the gift of a lifetime," Bellamy said in the podcast. "I never know what part I'll serve in the narrative. I could be the good guy or be the bad guy. Bless our writing staff and Shonda Rhimes, they make really complicated humans."

"Scandal" season 5 reportedly starts taping this summer, beginning yet another hectic run for its cast members. In a recent interview with Fox News, Bellamy Young revealed how she maintains her energy throughout taping days that could last up to 17 hours.

"Young makes sure she gets quality sleep even if it's only five or six hours' worth, hikes, does yoga, opts for small but frequent meals, and snacks on healthy fare like almonds and apples," Melinda Carstensen wrote in her article.

"Scandal" Season 5 will premiere on Sept. 24.
