As part of Austin’s ATX Festival, some of the cast of The West Wing sat down for a chat and used the opportunity to stoke those fan fiction fires. One of the most shipped couples in Aaron Sorkin’s political drama was Josh (Bradley Whitford) and Donna (Janel Moloney), a relationship that, despite initially suffering from some unbalanced power relations, was very sweet none the less.

This is what true romance looks like in Sorkin stories.

Because The West Wing cast is just as sassy and perfect as ever, Josh Malina (who played Will Bailey) remarked on Twitter that while Janel was a vision of perfection on the panel, Bradley looked like someone’s elderly uncle. Classic Will. Janel immediately came to Bradley’s defence, just like Donna would do for Josh! Then she took it back, because it was way too earnest!

YAY, the lines between reality and fiction are beginning to blur!

Bradley meanwhile, was too busy retweeting stuff about Hamilton to take notice of everyone making fun of his grey hair.

Josh + Donna 4eva.
