He is an American politician who ran for president in '08 and was a vice presidential candidate in '04. He had an affair while his wife was terminally ill and fathered a child with his mistress. He was indicted Friday for illegally using campaign funds to financially support the mistress and keep her quiet. Anyway, there was a special report about his indictment that interrupted GH for a few minutes on Friday's episode here in the States.

This I will never get about American political interests - who gives a f*ck who they f*ck? The right wing in your country is obsessed with bedroom antics. But you recently had a president who lied to the world, invaded other countries using that lie, and killd countless thousands of Americans and others while lining the pockets of his oil buddies, but NO ONE thinks he deserves to be investigated? Backwards IMO. The neo-cons have used political money for a lot worse, why aren't they called on it? We are investigating them up here on a regular basis and KNOW we haven't even scratched the surface of misappropriation. But when a politician is having an affair….. actualy we don't care. We never know when a politician has had an affair…. Except a Trudeau, then someone writes a book about it.

Remos, I believe they're investigating John Edwards because they think he used GOVERNMENT money to pay for his affair. Hotel rooms and such. And obviously that's not what it's supposed to be used towards.

But I could be wrong, I feel embarrassed to say I haven't really kept up with it. Normally I watch the news everyday, but I've been so busy this week, I'll have to read up later.

that simply GH person on youtube said she would try to reupload the clips without the news break. I'm so anal about clipping...I want them all! LOL

Looks like a big ethina couple of weeks coming up. Spencer stuff but unfortunately no tracy included.

LnL house set on fire. Guess lucky loves that house about as much as Luke.

I'm SO pissed about that. First they burn down he Webber/Scorpio house that's been a part of this show for DECADES, now they're doing the same with the LnL house? Maybe LnL are over, but there's been a LOT of history in that house. And not just with LnL.

But Baby Boy, that house hasn't really been used. It was GV/Lucky's house - it hasn't been JJ/Lucky's house since he grew up. In fact that set was retired and changed to SB ages ago (and only resurrected with the ill-conceived "Laura wakes up" thing in '06). We also don't know if the whole house is going or if it's just Lucky's reaction. The loss of the Webber/Scorpio house was plain stupid and a useless plot-point, but if Lucky is setting fire to the LnL house as a statement or protest, I want to see what happens and what he's trying to do. This entire story seems to be Lucky trying to still wrestle with the Spencer family the way it is vs. the way he wants it to be.

I suppose you're right. It just still twinges a little bit for me. I have a lot of memories of the house, such as Liz going back to it after the rape. And I even fondly remember Lesley raising Luly there. And all the holidays, and everything. So even though it hasn't been in use, it was still "there" so now I'm left a little sad because it reminds me of a better GH.

You're right about the Webber/Scorpio house. That didn't advance the story at all. It was just a plot point that destroyed history. They could have easily set fire to the house without completely having it burn down. There were a lot of "memories" in that house, from the Webbers, Scorpios (Georgie :(), etc. and burning it down was just an F U.

I just read a little more about it. Apparently, he was using campaign donations he received from wealthy donors to support his mistress and keep her in hiding. Hotels, travel expenses, etc. He also filed false paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission deatailing his campaign funds. It wasn't the government's money. It was that he was misusing the funds he was receiving from donors.

Remos, I think, in the U.S., the reason these affairs get so much publicity is that fact that most of these politicians run on family values platforms. It is a breaking of the public's trust when these individuals are proven to be nothing more than power-hungry hypocrites.

      You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.
