‘Veep’ Returns, Doctor Who’s New Gay Companion, Hollywood Darlings’ and More TV This Week
Check out our weekly guide to TV this week, and make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.
The Fosters wraps its fourth season Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern on Freeform. Callie needs to decide whether to take a plea bargain or risk a harsher sentence in trial, while Lena and Drew clash on what he’s doing at Anchor Beach. This isn’t the end of the drama, as season five returns July 11.
Nostalgia is back in a big way Wednesday on Pop. First, three former child stars (Full House’s Jodie Sweetin, 7th Heaven’s Beverley Mitchell and Step by Step’s Christine Lakin) play heightened versions of themselves in a new sitcom called Hollywood Darlings, premiering at 8 p.m. Eastern. If that’s not enough of an early-‘90s treat, former New Kids On the Block heartthrob Joey McIntyre has his own comeback on Return of the Mac at 8:30 p.m. Bring your own snap bracelets.
Say what you will about comedian Chelsea Handler (she’s too drunk to care). Get salty with the tart-tongued host of Chelsea when the talkshow returns Friday on Netflix.
Doctor Who showcases its first out companion on a new season premiering Saturday at 9 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) will be openly lesbian, but in a world of ageless Time Lords, killer Daleks and whatever the hell Lady Cassandra O’Brien is, folks on the show assure us that won’t be the most interesting thing about her.
The funniest show on television returns Sunday when VEEP makes its triumphant return 10:30 p.m. on HBO. Boy, do we need it now more than ever.

One of the most prominent areas in LGBT history, San Francisco’s Castro District is a vibrant, colourful and diverse neighbourhood of the city. Full of history, it’s an area that has come to symbolise political activism, especially of people such as Harvey Milk who was sadly murdered in November 1978.

Homophobic, Family Values Alabama Governor Robert Bentley to Resign Over Extramarital Affair Cover-Up
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley is expected to resign today in order to avoid impeachment over his affair with aide Rebekah Mason and his attempts to cover it up.
The mild-mannered 74-year-old Republican and one-time Baptist deacon was at peace with the decision and planned to announce it during a Cabinet meeting Monday afternoon, according to the person, who was not authorized to release the information and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
The sex-tinged scandal gathered force over the past few days and legislators turned up the pressure by opening impeachment hearings Monday. Bentley had steadfastly refused to resign, even though it appeared he had practically no support in the GOP-controlled Legislature.
Rachel Maddow pointed out his sick hypocrisy last year:
This isn’t just a personal story. Governor Bentley ran for this office that he holds on the grounds that he was a family values candidate—a God fearing family man—whose campaign ads featured him talking about the Bible while posing with his wife and all of his grandkids. he ran as a man who so believes in the sanctity of traditional marriage that he would fight same-sex marriage with every fiber of his being. His administration filed a Supreme Court brief that said marriages between same-sex couples should not even be thought of as marriages, they should be seen as social experiments.
Nobody’s love life is a political matter. Unless you as a politician make your love life and your personal life a political matter. And Robert Bentley, the Governor of Alabama, has done that. He has been a crusading family values politician who has campaigned on the superior morality of his own marriage, his own family and his own family values, and how he’s going to save Alabama from other people’s terrible, immoral family choices because his values and his family are superior.
Talking Points Memo reports that Bentley’s wife watched his affair unspool on the iPad he had gifted to her, which was still connected to his iCloud account:
Unbeknownst to the governor and Mason, the frequent romantic texts they exchanged were all visible to Dianne Bentley. The governor’s state-issued cell phone’s cloud was linked to his state-issued iPad, which he had gifted to his then-wife, allowing her to watch the rumored affair unfold in real time.
“I’m so in love with you,” Bentley wrote to Mason in one text, along with two heart-eye emojis. “We are pitiful.”
“Poor Robert. Poor Rebekah,” he added.
“Yes… Bless our hearts… And other parts,” Mason wrote back.
“Magnetic,” Bentley replied.
The device oversight was only one of Bentley’s errors.
In spring 2014, he mistakenly sent a text to his wife reading, “I love you Rebekah,” along with an emoji of a red rose.
