Star of Gilmore Girls reminisces about playing baseball in Savannah
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Actor Scott Patterson, best known for playing Luke on 'Gilmore Girls,' will appear June 6 and 7 at Epic Cons: Savannah (June 6 through 8). He – along with dozens more stars of the big and small screens – will meet and interact with fans. Stars of the big and small screen coming to the Coastal Empire for Epic Cons: Savannah June 6-8 Patterson spoke with WSAV about the impact 'Gilmore Girls' has had on fans over the years. 'There's a lot of people that are just catching on to it and they've just discovered it recently. They say they just can't get enough of it. They fall asleep with it. They have it on while they're doing their housework or cooking. You know, it's amazing. Sometimes I meet four generations of the show's fans: the great-grandparents, the grandparents, the parents, the kids. They just don't make many shows like 'Gilmore Girls' anymore.' Patterson says he loves when fans will discuss specific episodes with him. It makes him realize how the show's themes and topics really resonated with viewers. 'When you realize that the details of this show really drill down with people and they carry it in their hearts? It's really amazing. Every encounter I have had with a 'Gilmore Girls' fan, whether it's in a restaurant, the gym, wherever I am, it's always very heartfelt and very sweet.' Patterson is looking forward to coming back to Savannah for the first time in more than 40 years for more than just the convention. Before he was an actor, he was professional baseball player. 'I was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in 1980. I started the season in Durham, North Carolina, in the Carolina League. And then halfway through the season, I was promoted to Savannah, Georgia, the Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves at that time. And it was very exciting promotion, a very exciting time because I became a bona fide prospect. And I did very well in Savannah. It's a lovely place with lovely people. And I actually didn't want to leave. I mean, you want to be called up. But of all the minor league cities I've ever lived in, Savannah was always my favorite.'

'Sullivan's Crossing' Season 3: Chad Michael Murray, Morgan Kohan struggle to take next step in Cal, Maggie's relationship
After spending time with Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and Maggie (Morgan Kohan) at the farm with Cal's parents in New York, Sullivan's Crossing Season 3 continues its story in Nova Scotia. While Cal is still trying to cope with his father's diagnosis, there's a lot going on with Sully (Scott Patterson), both personally and professionally. Let's not forget that Sully is facing the threat from Glenn (Dean Armstrong) after the Nova Scotia Environmental Agency was called to look into the construction of his resort. But things get even messier in this Maggie is heading off to work, Sully doesn't plan to join her and Maggie's concerned that Glenn's threat is the reason why, despite Sully's insistence that it's not about Glenn. Edna (Andrea Menard) and Frank (Tom Jackson) have a similar concern, but Frank thinks Sully may have started drinking again. Frank goes to see Sully, offers to spend some time with him and asks if he wants to go to a meeting an AA meeting, but Sully tries to assure Frank he doesn't need any help. Shortly after that Helen (Kate Vernon) shows up, Sully invited her over for lunch. They talk about the importance of letting go of the past to make room for the future, but then Helen then pulls out a bottle of wine she brought for them to share. When Maggie has to go back to the house to get some potatoes for Edna, she see an empty bottle of wine on the kitchen counter and goes up to Sully's room to find him. Sully says he wasn't drinking and Helen appears behind him to explain. Then Maggie realizes she's interrupted something intimate and quickly leaves. Running into each other later that day, Helen tells Maggie she wouldn't have brought over the bottle of wine if she knew Sully was an alcoholic. But Maggie stresses that Sully's had recent struggles with his sobriety and he's in a good place, and she'd "hate for anything to change that." Meanwhile, Cal is trying to fix his truck, but ends up trading it in for a sports car instead, one he's wanted since he was a kid and his dad took him to a car show. Taking Maggie for a ride, he tells Maggie he can't wait to show his dad the car when he visits. Then Cal asks Maggie if she'll move in with him. But Maggie thinks he's still trying to cope with his dad's diagnosis and he's making rash decisions, and adds that now that Sully is seeing Helen, she doesn't want to leave him alone if he might get hurt. Cal says it's fine, but walks away looking disappointed. But on the topic of Sully and Helen, she tells him that Maggie told her he's only recently sober and he's been through a lot, and she wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that. "It's true I have ben through a lot," Sully says in response. "But I'm a stronger person because of it. You don't need to worry about me Helen." "I have no idea where this is going. ... But I do know that I haven't felt this way about anyone in a very long time, and I think we at least owe it to ourselves to see where it could go. No stings. No commitments. No expectations. ... Why not live in the moment with me." Helen agrees to "see where this goes" with Sully. Sully ends up telling Maggie that she has to stop worrying about him, that she has to focus on her life. Maggie tells Sully that Cal asked her to move in with him, but she said it's not the right timing with how he's responding to his dad's diagnosis. Sully questions her reason for saying no, specifically whether her moving in with Cal will actually negatively impact his ability to cope with what's happening with his father. There's also some significant progress in Sydney (Lindura) and Rafe's (Dakota Taylor) relationship. Things are pretty rocky, but it's all stemming from how Cooper (Steve Lund) is treating Rafe at work, even telling him to not come in for the day. And Rafe thinks he's about to get fired after seeing Cooper talk to someone from the regional department. Rafe takes Cal's advice to go to the station to talk to Cooper. He starts by telling Cooper he know he has no intention of keeping him around, but Rafe knows he's a good firefighter so he won't be pushed out. Cooper says he didn't have any intention of firing him and he only gave him time off because he thought that's what Rafe wanted. Cooper also says the talk he had with the person from regional had nothing to do with Rafe, it was a personal matter. But back at home, Sydney ends up calling out Rafe for either not being home, or not wanting to spend time with her when he's home. Rafe finally tells Sydney how bad things have been at work and how he thought Cooper was going to fire him. But Rafe says Sydney is the best thing that's ever happened to him and they reconcile. Meanwhile, Rob (Reid Price) is starting to setup his restaurant in Sully's lodge, with plans for it to be Acadian cuisine, and Sydney volunteers to help with the design of the space. And Rob's personal life is heating up, spending some one-on-one time with Jane (Cindy Sampson). But then there's a significant impact to his progress. To end the episode, someone from the health and safety office shows up, telling Sully there was an anonymous complaint and he's looking for any possible violations at the new restaurant being opened on the property, Rob's restaurant. Everything looked fine, until Sully hits a wooden board and the wall and it crumbled. The inspector says they have two weeks to bring the lodge up to code, otherwise he'll have to have it condemned. An absolutely devastating result for Rob who's worked so hard to try to get his own restaurant.

Credit unions challenge broken student loan system with revolutionary line of credit approach
Washington, DC, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CU Student Choice, a credit union-owned organization that helps credit unions deliver private student loan solutions, announced expanded access to its flexible education line of credit product. The announcement comes as student debt continues to weigh heavily on millions of families. Traditional private loans often force students to estimate the full cost of their education upfront, a tough ask given how often financial situations and academic paths change midstream. Many borrowers end up on online lender marketplaces, dominated by national brands willing to pay big dollars for leads. But Student Choice's user-friendly CUSelect Finder Tool at helps students and families discover line of credit options from credit unions that often go unseen on major comparison sites. 'The conventional private student loan is fundamentally broken,' said Scott Patterson, President and CEO of Student Choice. 'Students are forced to guess their total expenses before the semester even begins, often leading to overborrowing or, worse, coming up short when unexpected costs arise. Our education line of credit model represents a complete paradigm shift — apply once, draw only what you need, when you need it.' Traditional Loans Fail to Match Real Student Experiences Most private student loans follow a rigid structure that doesn't reflect how students actually move through college. When classes shift, family budgets change, or unexpected costs pop up, traditional loans often offer little room to adapt — leaving borrowers overextended or stuck without options. A Credit Union Model Designed to Flex In today's education landscape, uncertainty is the new normal. Families are facing shifting rules around federal loan programs, unclear policies, and mixed messages. Meanwhile, students still need reliable, flexible ways to cover tuition now — especially when timing and access are critical. That's where the credit union line of credit stands apart. Student Choice's model allows students to apply once and access funds over multiple academic years, borrowing only what's needed each term*. It reduces the need to reapply, helps avoid excess borrowing, and gives students the ability to adjust if their plans or needs change. Funds are available quickly when they're needed most. 'It's time we stop pretending that traditional student loans work,' said Patterson. 'This model flips the script. One application, flexible access, and the freedom to borrow on your own terms. It's built for real life — not for lender convenience.' The Real Cost of Inflexible Loans When students take out more than they need just to avoid reapplying later, they often end up paying interest on funds they never use. The line of credit approach helps prevent that. It gives students the flexibility to borrow only what's necessary, when it's necessary — and if their situation changes, the loan can adapt with them. Traditional lenders often design products to maximize profit. Credit unions are offering something different — a borrower-first approach based on trust, flexibility, and long-term value. A New Tool to Help Borrowers Explore Their Options To help more families find these alternatives, Student Choice recently updated its Finder Tool at The CUSelect Finder Tool makes it easy for users to compare personalized lines of credit—from multiple credit unions the user is likely eligible to join—based on school, timing, and borrowing needs, with no credit check to compare and no obligation to apply. 'As borrowing decisions grow more complicated and private loan marketing becomes more aggressive, the CUSelect Finder Tool gives students a faster, clearer path to smart options — making informed decisions right from the start and helping them avoid feeling overwhelmed,' added in 2008 by several of the nation's leading credit unions and credit union service organizations (CUSOs), CU Student Choice works in partnership with credit unions to deliver innovative solutions that help members responsibly overcome the increasing challenge of higher education affordability. With cooperation and a keen focus on the future, the CUSO's programs have allowed hundreds of credit unions to deliver fair-value private education and refinance loans with corresponding financial education to more than 100,000 Unions Challenge Broken Student Loan System Press inquiries CU Student Choice Mike Weber mweber@ 563-599-1193 1001 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 1001, Washington, DC 20036 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' Plus 6 Things to Watch on TV This Week
Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, May 12-18. Details and times are subject to change. Sexy! First there was #MomTok, and then came 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' a reality series following a group of TikTok-famous moms who are either practicing Mormons or are in the community. The first season was a hit and became Hulu's top-watched unscripted series in 2024. Now the ladies from Utah are ready for more dirty sodas, baby daddy drama and rehashing of the swinging scandal. Joining the cast is Miranda McWhorter, who was involved in the original TikTok drama that popularized the group. Add some coconut creamer to your Dr Pepper, read up on the Book of Mormon, and pour your coffee down the drain because Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann and the others are so back. Streaming Thursday on Hulu. Why are Chad Michael Murray and Scott Patterson in Nova Scotia, Canada? Because 'Sullivan's Crossing' is back for a third season, of course. The series follows the neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) who fled to the small town that her father, Sully (Patterson), lives in to get away from a work-related scandal. Now, three years later, Maggie and Cal (Murray) are officially an item, and the trio are dealing with the aftermath of a diner fire from the Season 2 cliffhanger. It's about to be cottage season in Canada, and this show perfectly sets those vibes. Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the CW. The Ryan Murphy series 'Doctor Odyssey' has left viewers with lots of questions: Was it all a fever dream? Why is this cruise ship equipped with a CT machine? How can we clone Joshua Jackson in real life? It is unclear whether any of these questions will be answered in this week's finale. The show — which follows the lives of a doctor and two nurses in charge of a cruise ship's infirmary who spend more time canoodling, drinking and relaxing in the hot tub than doing any actual work — has covered orca attacks, mistaken pregnancies and the dangers of a raw diet. During the season (or series, ABC has yet to renew the show) finale, Max (Jackson) deboards the ship and, needless to say, several natural disasters strike. Thursday at 9 p.m. on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu. Thrilling! Let's set the scene for the new thriller series 'Duster': The year is 1972, we're in the Southwest and Rachel Hilson plays the F.B.I.'s first Black female agent. With Josh Holloway's character at her side as a getaway driver, the two go on a mission to break up a growing crime syndicate. Of note, this is J.J. Abrams's first co-writing gig in six years, since 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.' Thursday at 9 p.m. on Max. A robot that is uninterested in human contact and prefers to spend its time watching soap operas? Not so unrelatable. That's the general plot of 'Murderbot,' the new show based on the 'Murderbot Diaries' book series by Martha Wells. Alexander Skarsgard plays a SecUnit (security android) robot that has to accompany a group of astronauts to space as they explore an alien world — and it's not so happy about it. The first two of 10 episodes debut this week, with a new one dropping every Friday after that. Streaming Friday on AppleTV+. Funny! Benito Skinner got his start acting out skits on social media, but now he's taking his act to TV with his new series 'Overcompensating.' He stars as Benny, a closeted former high school football player who becomes fast friends with Carmen (Wally Baram) when they arrive at college. From there, the usual shenanigans ensue: drinking flavored vodka, using fake IDs and, of course, engaging in some questionable hookups. Streaming Thursday on Prime Video. Joan Rivers was a comedy heroine — she got her start appearing on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in the 1960s, then became a frequent flier on Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show.' For a certain generation, she was perhaps most notable for her role as an entertainment correspondent and for hosting 'Fashion Police,' where she delivered endless zingers. She died in September 2014 after a minor procedure led to cardiac arrest. She left a letter for her daughter, Melissa Rivers, that read: 'Given that I'm dead, I assume someone will finally decide to honor me. Well, it's about time.' That is exactly what will happen on 'Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute.' Rachel Brosnahan, Aubrey Plaza, Nikki Glaser, Tiffany Haddish and many others performed musical bits and stand-up featuring some classic Rivers wisecracks during the taping, which took place at the Apollo Theater in New York City. Tuesday at 10 p.m. on NBC.
