After discussions that started three years ago, and delayed from the pandemic, ABC has revealed they have greenlit the ‘Bachelor: Senior’, shall we say, where a man and a group of women, 61-years-old and up, are looking for another shot at finding love.

The new offering for the fall season, officially titled, The Golden Bachelor, will debut on Monday nights following Dancing with the Stars which is returning to the network after one season away exclusively on Disney+.

While a casting call went out earlier this year, the show’s description teases: “After more than 20 years of fostering young love on The Bachelor, he Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, The Golden Bachelor showcases a whole new kind of love story — one for the golden years. On this all-new unscripted series, one hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life. The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities. In the end, will our Golden man turn the page to start a new chapter with the woman of his dreams?”

No other details have been revealed as to who the first senior ‘Bachelor’ will be, but ABC is adding shows for a strike-proof schedule in case the WGA strike continues for several months where scripted dramas or comedies come to a stand-still.

So, what do you think about The Golden Bachelor’? What do you think of the series name? Would you be interested to see this spinoff version of The Bachelor? Comment below.

To the tune of the rock classic, “Crimson and Clover”, The Young and the Restless; Lauralee Bell (Christine) shared another video package produced, direct and edited by herself.

Currently, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the top-rated daytime drama, Y&R’s Bell is posting a series of videos. Lauralee’s parents, Bill and Lee Phillip Bell were the creators of the iconic show.

Now, carrying on the Bell tradition, Lauralee is using her creative side to spotlight the cast inside the famous Genoa City coffee shop, Crimson Lights.

On her Instagram Lauralee expressed and shared: “Another video showing us #behindthescenes as we continue to thank the fans while we celebrate #YR50 Seemed very fitting to play #crimsonandclover in #crimsonlights ☕️ We love you guys!! Thank you for watching @youngandrestlesscbs Couple things about the video- I could only use 50 cuts so a little EXTRA behind the scenes will be on my story. We had access to the set for a few quick days between scenes sometimes without lights. So if you don’t see some cast members it’s just because people weren’t in on those days but we’ll try to do these videos whenever we can to remind you how much you’re appreciated!!!!  Also there was someone in a booth that I had to edit out so it didn’t give away a story coming up. I’ll put that picture out when the person airs in a few weeks. 😎”

Check out Y&R stars: Melody Thomas Scott, Eric Braeden, Jason Thompson, Amelia Heinle, Joshua Morrow, Sharon Case, Michelle Stafford, Michael Mealor, Peter Bergman, Susan Walters, Alison Lanier and more inside and around Crimson Lights.

This past Sunday, The Young and the Restless officially turned 50! Hard to believe that 5 decades of love, lust, intrigue and familial drama has passed since the series debuted on CBS back on March 26, 1973.

A little less than two weeks ago, many of the stars of Y&R, past and present, gathered together at a memorable celebration in honor of this milestone, when Y&R, CBS and Sony threw a big bash for the show at the Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles.

Michael Fairman TV was on the red carpet conducting interviews with the cast in attendance and special guests. We previously posted part one of our red carpet interviews here.

The second half of the video interviews can now be viewed below, or via You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel which include conversations with: Beth Maitland, Tracey Bregman and Christian LeBlanc, Zach Tinker, J. Eddie Peck, Sean Kanan, Melissa Ordway, Michael Damian, Michael Graziadei, Kate Linder, Janice Lynde, John McCook and more.
