Set in Washington, D.C., Hearts Afire focused on the professional
and personal relationship of John Hartman, the legislative
assistant to aging, conservative Southern senator Strobe Smithers,
and Gorgie Anne Lahti, the once globe-trotting but now out-of-work
liberal journalist whom John hired as the senator's press secretary.
John, the divorced father of two sons, Ben and Elliot, offered to
let Georgie Anne and her "mammy," Miss Lulu, live in his home until
they could find housing. There was an ulterior motive because,
although they were on opposite sides of the political fence and
constantly sparred about almost everything, they were physically
attracted to one another. Within weeks they were having an affair.
Others on the senator's staff were Billy Bob, a childhood friend
of Johns; Dee Dee, the sexy but simpleminded receptionist with
whom the married senator was having an affair; Mavis, Billy
Bob's efficent wife; and Adam, the incompetent office assistant.
The 1993-1994 season brought major changes to the series. John and
Georgie Anne, now newlyweds, moved back to the small Southern
town where he and Billy Bob had grown up. They bought the
financially troubled local paper, The Daily Beacon, and set to
work to revive it. The only surviving member of the Beacon's
staff was Lonnie, the big-talking but insecure printer. Sharing
space in the small building that housed the Beacon was Madeline,
a cynical, sharp-tongued psychiatrist whom they convinced to
write an advice column for the paper.
