No, the Pearson dudes (Milo Ventimiglia, Justin Hartley, and Sterling K Brown) are not competing in Clare Crawley’s upcoming season of The Bachelorette, but their show, This Is Us, and her show have been given fall premiere dates.

This Is Us and The Bachelorette will make their season debuts further back in the fall schedule than usually anticipated; all due to the coronavirus pandemic and production shut downs.

NBC will begin rolling out returning scripted series in late October with This Is Us slated to return for its fifth season with a special two-hour season premiere on Tuesday night, November 10th (9-11 p.m. EST), The following week on November 17th the drama will return to their usual one-hour time slot at 9 p.m.

Over at ABC, The Bachelorette will finally return on Tuesday night, October 13th at 8 p.m, EST/7 p. m. CST). As fans know, this was to be just Clare Crawley’s season. The 39-year-old became the oldest lead of the series looking for love. However, in rumored upheaval, Crawley falls early on for one of the contestants Dale Moss, and makes an exit … and is then replaced by 29-year-old, Tayshia Adams from Colton’s Underwood season of The Bachelor. Look for Adams midway through the new season.

In another switch-up, host Chris Harrison will reportedly miss 14 days of shooting and JoJo Fletcher from season 12 of The Bachelorette has been noted as taking over the hosting chores in his absence. Harrison apparently went into quarantine after taking his son to college.

It has also been noted that the new season of The Bachelorette is following safety protocols and the cast and crew have been quarantined through filming to ensure the health of everyone involved on-camera and behind-the-scenes.

So, looking forward to these two season premieres? Comment below.

This Is Us– it has gone downhill.. When it first aired, season 1 and 2 were great then something happened and each season has been worse than the one before it.. It has become redundant and way too much back-flow. I still like it but now I can do with or without it, what a shame. As for the Bachelorette, that’s junk tv lol women are whoring themselves out ready to mary a man that has been involved with all the others fighting for his proposal. that is about as low one can get in the barrel LOL.. But– there… Read more »

Kelly Ripa’s First Book On the Way in 2022

July 21, 2021

Former All My Children star, now co-host of Live with Kelly and Ryan and a successful executive producer in her own right, Kelly Ripa, will add writer to her list of credits.

New this week is that Ripa is sharing a look at her real-life in a book, that will be released next spring in April of 2022.

According to the intel, the book entitled Live Wire will feature sharp, funny, and honest collection of real-life stories from Ripa, showing the many dimensions and crackling wit of the beloved daytime talk show host.

As soap fans know, Ripa has been married to Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo, AMC) and the two share three children together.

The loglines for the release share: “In Live Wire, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. As a professional, as a wife, as a daughter and as a mother, she brings a hard-earned wisdom and an eye for the absurdity of life to every minute of every day. It is her relatability in all of these roles that has earned her fans worldwide and millions of followers on social media. Whether recounting how she and Mark really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners.
Surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor… Live Wire shows Kelly as she really is offscreen—a very wise woman who has something to say.”

So intrigued to read Kelly’s book when it is released next year? Comment below.
