Did you hear the latest scoop? Susan Lucci, the iconic All My Children star, is dipping her toes into The Bachelor scene! Yep, you heard it right. But hold your horses, she's not quite ready to be the next leading lady of the franchise.
In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, the 77-year-old actress spilled the beans about her newfound addiction to The Bachelor. Turns out, she wasn't into it until a "couple seasons ago" when her assistant convinced her to give it a shot. And boy, was she hooked from the get-go!
"It wasn't for me," Lucci explained when ABC reached out to her publicist about the gig. "But I do love watching. I'm a fan. I love watching." Can't blame her, though. The drama, the romance, it's all so captivating!
Meanwhile, ABC made waves at the 2024 Disney Upfronts by announcing Joan Vassos as the first-ever 'Golden Bachelorette.' But before the big reveal, Lucci had her hat in the ring. Talk about a plot twist! Looks like things worked out just fine for Vassos, who spilled the beans on the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast about her quest for love. She's ready to dive in headfirst and find that special someone to share life's adventures with.
"I really want love," Vassos shared. "I want to have somebody in my life. I feel like life is better when you share it with somebody." Can't argue with that, right? She's almost there, just needs a little nudge in the right direction, like the Bachelor environment.
So, while Lucci may not be handing out roses anytime soon, you can bet she'll be tuning in, rooting for love, and soaking up every juicy moment of The Bachelor drama. Who knows what surprises the next season will bring? One thing's for sure, it's bound to be an exciting ride!
