No Oval Action In TV's `West Wing'

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- The relationship between two "West Wing" characters is getting more personal than ever -- but, don't worry, art won't imitate life.
Bradley Whitford -- who plays White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on the hit NBC drama -- says he has been pushing for his character to have a relationship with his assistant, Donna Moss, played by Janel Moloney.
He may be getting his wish on the show's season finale, airing May 19 on NBC -- but don't worry, there won't be any "West Wing" whoopie in the TV version of the White House because "the characters are in a work situation where it can never get soapy or silly."
Some real-life political staffers have met while on the job but Whitford insists that Donna and Josh feel they are working in a privileged environment and says make-out scenes in the show's version of the Oval Office "...would be a bad scene."
