Dear Zels...no one is trying to pretend that it is not happening. It is however happening to Goran....to his wife....to his child.....to his parents and in laws....to his other extended family...to his personal friends.... etc. They will be the ones dealing with the fallout from this very personal attack. No matter how much we 'love' him, our affection for him is based on his work and the the persona that has been handed to us by his publicist via pictures, interviews etc. I will still enjoy his work. I will still respect his talent as an actor. And I will still respect his privacy as a husband and father. He is, without a doubt, in need of at least that. His is a very new family and has been shaken to the very roots.

The other day, i said to my self, this summer sucked ! Well, no World Cup to cheer, no Bloodline to wait for, no hot gossips to comment and have a laugh... Well, I should not say that ! Here we are with this surprising news ! And a first test to our young forum ! Well, like zeldanounette said, me too, although I can talk crazy everytimes about an actor or actress or their husband or wife, I'll respect their privacy no matter what. God knows how much I hate gossips from tabloids, stories invented to hurt people and especially those craps made by anonymous about a celebrity. As long as I respect Goran as an actor, a man, a husband and his family (I already see, miles away, Zelda and Marion cracking up when they'll read this ! ), well I have the right to comment on this delicate affair. I did not say I approved the way the story was told and made public, I'd rather prefer it would never be told (well then, I would never have the chance to know and comment on it and have a hot summer !!!). But here we are, I have to say this is a really sorry story. That could be arranged well differently, not in tribunal and with everybody's names in every local, national and international press. We'll probably never know the issue and until then, there will have many speculations about his adultery, his mariage status, the reason he did it (if he did it), and everything else. BUT I don't care (I have my imagination and msn to do that ! ) ! I just hope they'll sort it all out ! AND ABOVE AND BEYOND ANYTHING, I HOPE THIS WILL NOT AFFECT GORAN'S CHARACTER IN ER, HIS COME BACK AND HIS STORY WITH ABBY AND JOE ! AND OF COURSE THIS LONG-AWAITED CROATIAN EPISODE...Coz I have a doubt now over Goran's desire to go home soon after this, even to do an ER episode. But he's a professionnal after all so what do I know ! So just to finish and change the subject, no matter happens, Goran will always be cheered up by French cheetahs ! Come on Gogo ! (already posted elsewhere, no Copyright needed !!!)

Weeeellll....... if anything, it got our minds off the totally asinine behavior of Stamos in Australia. But personally, I would be rather dissing HIM!

I agree ... it's ironic that Stamos' character is as much an ass as he is himself. As for Goran, it's quite hard to be objective as I think many of us confuse him with Luka, who, IMO, is like the perfect mate. GV is human - no more, no less.
Although I have various takes on the rumors, I too feel that the issue of the children needs to be addressed. Thankfully, at present, both are too young to understand, but what will the long term effect be? Putting all the gossip on the various boards aside, there's been ongoing speculation in certain circles that GV's marriage is not what it appeared to be. In view of present circumstances, it is now more than speculation. He may or may not be the father of this child, and the affair may not have been serious, however, I would assume that in order for this woman to be able to retain an attorney, there had to be some evidence of an affair, along with the attorney's statement that there were ongoing talks with GV. During this period, there was a surprise adoption, GV's absence of a statement of confirmation about the adoption, although he appeared in several interviews during that time, his absence (not only in the delivery room) from the U.S. and his new family since May promoting ER (although he will not be a full time cast member), and his recent comments merely stating that his life has not changed are not only surprising, but quite odd, and lead many people to question and speculate as to the reasons behind the adoption. However, what is more disturbing is that innocent children are being used to protect self-interest. Whether it be financial security, marital security, revenge, self-justification or whatever, it is self-serving and none are valid reasons for raising a child. Unfortunately, actions do speak louder than words, and based on GV actions, it is starting to become evident that he doesn't have a strong desire or interest in being a parent to either of these children, and for that, I am sorry.

I disagree with you at some point... as I said before in my last post... it isn't because of what he said or didn't say that we can judge if he wanted to be a father or not, if he will be a good parent or not... Yes, it's sad that there are two young children involved, but please... it's just a rummor... we had a case like this here and it was confirmed that the girl was not the daughter of a famous singer, even if the motter said she was and tried to take him to courts... So, as long as I don't see it on some important magazine or newspaper, I won't say anymore of this... it is just a rumor... nobody here is with him all the time to know if he is talking to this attorney, seriously...

With all due respect ... it doesn't matter whether you agree with me or not. I am not attempting to debate the issue, just posting my opinion. While it is true that none of us know him personally, we can only go by what is reported. People, TV Guide and a number of other medias have reported this as well. As a matter of fact, People was the magazine that also reported the adoption.

I thought it rather interesting that People Magazine reported the adoption on their web site but had nary a word in the magazine. Hmmm...... As for the children...I am sure there are many eyes on them at this point and they will be loved and cared for appropriately. ...by whomever lays claim to them.

Just an article of People or TVGuide or other... but not talking about the adoption ( as we have another thread talking about it... ) but from this article that is saying about the ( possible ) other child of his...

Here you go Daniella, it's everywhere... SOURCE: PEOPLE MAGAZINEwww.people.com/people/article/0,,20044840,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines ER's Goran Visnjic Facing Paternity Suit
A Croatian woman is suing ER star Goran Visnjic, claiming he is the father of her 4-month-old daughter.
Mirela Rupic, 36, took legal action after Visnjic refused to recognize the child as his own, her attorney, Nenad Skare, told the Associated Press.
Skare said Rupic tried to settle the matter directly with the actor, but was not able to do so. Should Visnjic formally deny paternity, she will request a paternity test, Skare said.
Rupic told Friday's Jutarnji List newspaper that Visnjic "knew about my pregnancy from the start." She said she'd decided to sue after the actor told her recently he would support the child financially, but would not recognize her as his daughter.
Visnjic, 34, has been married to Croatian artist Ivana Vrdoljak since 1999. In May, the Los Angeles-based couple announced they had adopted a boy they named Tin, born at L.A.'s Cedars Sinai Medical Center on April 19.
A rep for Visnjic, who plays Dr. Luka Kovac on the long-running NBC series, could not be reached for comment. SOURCE: TV GUIDEcommunity.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Ers-Goran-Visnjic/800018120ER's Goran Visnjic Slapped with Paternity Suit
A 36-year-old Croatian woman has slapped Goran Visnjic with a paternity suit, claiming that the ER hunk is the father of her 4-month-old daughter and that he knew about the pregnancy "from the start." According to the Associated Press, Mirela Rupic filed suit after trying to settle the matter privately, only to have Visnjic say that he would support the child financially, but never recognize her as his own. Since 1999 Visnjic has been married to Croatian artist Ivana Vrdoljak, with whom he adopted a son this past May. Should the actor formally deny that he is the girl's father, a paternity test would be required, says Rupic’s attorney.
Visnjic could not immediately be reached by the AP for comment.

Maybe it's true? I think we're past maybe right now. The new Croatian article is really something. Guess Ivana and her family called the shots on that interview!

ACORDING TO CELEBRITY BABY BLOG THIS MIGHT BE HIS ANSWER: www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/07/actor-goran-vis.htmlUpdate: Actor Goran Visnjic embroiled in paternity suit By Sarah, CBB News Editor Update -- RUMOR: According to this article www.javno.com/en/lifestyle/clanak.php?id=61378 , Goran has admitted to the affair, saying that he was drunk and does not remember the details of the evening, but is 'prepared to accept the consequences.' I do not remember anything, and I am certain that I would not have done something like that if I was not under the influence of alcohol. He stated that he was not proud of what he had done, and admitted the one-night stand to his wife after Mirela began to threaten and blackmail him. We are unsure of the reliability of this article. Stateside, Goran has not released any statements. Originally posted July 6th: ER star Goran Visnjic, 34, is facing a paternity suit less than three months after bringing home a new son with his wife of eight years. The Croatian actor is being sued by Mirela Rupic, 36, who claims he is the father of her 4-month-old daughter. A lawyer for Ms. Rupic says that Goran knew about her pregnancy from the start, but she recently decided to sue when Goran told her he would financially support the child, but would never recognize her as his own. When the matter was unable to be settled directly with Goran, she began legal proceedings. The next step is to wait for Goran's response - if he formally denies paternity, Ms. Rupic and her lawyer plan to sue for a paternity test. **Viviana**

Hey everyone.. I dont usually post in these threads much, but this is a special situation. Nina (nina1croatia) e-mailed me because there were people asking her to translate croatian articles about this Goran news, but she can't do it. She just asked me to post here that she's sick so she cant translate them. Well,that's all from me.
