But as fans of dating shows know, most participants don’t make it to the finale or end up finding the love of their life through the program. That was the case for a fan-favorite contestant on Joan Vasso’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, but being on the show helped him achieve another dream instead.
Guy Gansert, the runner-up in the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette and a retired ER doctor, is heading back to the hospital with an ABC twist.
While he may have been kidding, ABC took his idea seriously. Gansert told People, “Having had absolutely no acting experience, I said [it] in — kinda — jest,” but he was quickly interviewed over Zoom by a General Hospital producer and an ABC executive.
Though Gansert is a real-life doctor, he won’t be playing one on TV. Instead, the 66-year-old will play a wildlife journalist named Geoffrey on the Wednesday, March 12 episode of the soap opera.
Bachelor fans on Reddit were tickled by the news, commenting, “this is so full circle for the franchise” and “This is perfect for him! He’s attractive and has experience in the medical field.”
Others were happy for Gansert, but were hoping for a different kind of collaboration between him and ABC. “My heart legit skipped a beat, because I thought they were announcing him as the next Golden Bachelor,” wrote one fan, and another agreed, commenting, “Oh man- I thought they were announcing him as golden bachelor.”
