I didn't see it as Van being "cold", but being principled. Had it been some kind of personal favor that Holly had asked for (ie, talking to Fletcher, or whatever) that would've been different. In Van's mind, as long as the reporting was accurate and not sensationalistic, she couldn't step in (as I remember). I can't recall Holly ever shying away from reporting the news when it involved her friends.
As befits Vanessa's relationship with ****, it's all shallow nonsense, with no real character development or consequence. ****'s just being the "perfect" understanding husband, while Van's all reactionary and "unreasonable" over ****'s compassion for the poor downtrodden Beth. RME. **** is sharing private feelings with another woman. He's getting his ego stroked by that simpering snot-nosed cow. He would be livid if the tables had turned and Van was sharing intimate details of their marriage with Billy or Ross. And since I know what happens, I am unsurprised that ****'s principles fly out the window (if he ever had any, he is a sucking vortex of plot over character) when he thinks he's justified.
I'm only surprised GL didn't justify a ****/Beth affair and make Van beg for her marriage back. Then again, they were already doing this with Blake/Ross, and whatever chem ****/Beth had didn't light the world on fire. Neither KMcK or BC was a real chemistry magnet, and there's rarely a point in two boring saps having an affair.
