We can never choose who our heart decides to love...
I started out as a Martha/Aaron fan but have completely fallen in love with Martha and Charles. Everything says you should embrace what is good and perfect but my heart yearns for something deeper...something that cannot be classified as either good nor evil...and I have found that in Martha and Charles Logan. So against all odds...against all criticism...they are my favorite couple of all time :) Enjoy this excerpt from Entertainment Weekly.
GREGORY ITZIN & JEAN SMART
Must First Couple
AGES 58, 54 WHY THEM Not since those kooky Macbeths has there been a
married couple as deliciously dysfunctional as 24's President Charles
Logan and First Lady Martha Logan. From pill popping to acts of high
treason, Itzin's and Smart's Emmy-worthy performances instilled so
much humanity in their unhinged characters that we couldn't help
rooting for them both. FOUR MORE YEARS! Things didn't end well for
the prez, what with the whole impending impeachment thing - but the
door to the Oval Office isn't necessarily shut: ''The producers would
love to have us back, but story is king at 24,'' says Itzin. CRY
ANOTHER DAY ''There are some scenes that have been difficult,'' says
Smart of her weepy character. ''I think actually you're a nicer
person to live with when you're doing [those] scenes. If you have to
be Little Mary Sunshine at work all day, you probably go home and
scream at your family.'' POLITICAL FALLOUT Itzin wasn't entirely
prepared for Logan's transformation from a nervous coward to an
eeevil manipulator. ''It was quite upsetting,'' recalls the actor,
who was told of the twist by producers two episodes before it
happened. ''Oddly enough, people liked him better [after that].''
NEXT Itzin expects to be back for at least one hour of 24 next
season; no word yet on the First Lady. Either way, season 5 is
rerunning Fridays on Fox and will be released on DVD in December.
Smart can also be seen this fall in the Curtis Hanson drama Lucky
You.
I know I've said some terrible things...but let's see if we can make this work...
