Crossword Genius

Characters immersed in scandal lied, as well as the rest (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

and all

'as well as the rest' is the definition.

'characters immersed in scandal lied' is the wordplay.
'characters immersed in' indicates a hidden word.
'AND ALL' can be found hidden inside 'scandal lied'.

(Another definition for and all that I've seen is " See 1".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
