With “The Golden Bachelor” remaining one of the network’s top shows among Adults 18-49, ABC announced in February that it had greenlit a spinoff titled “The Golden Bachelorette,” which will air Wednesday nights this fall.
While presenting its 2024-2025 fall primetime schedule, the network announced that Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, the fan favorite from “The Golden Bachelor,” who self-eliminated herself from the competition when a medical concern with her daughter arose, will seek a second chance at finding love as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette.
Despite other challenges she’s faced along the way – including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage – ABC notes that Vassos remains “an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog, and cooking.

The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos isn’t letting The Golden Bachelor divorce rain on her parade.
Joan was named the next Bachelor Nation star at the Disney Upfronts earlier this week.
She seemed a longshot to take over for Gerry Turner after self-eliminating in Episode 3 of the premiere season of The Golden Bachelor.
But her crowning has been a pleasant surprise for those who can’t wait to watch the premiere season of The Golden Bachelorette.
Now that Joan has been named, Bachelor Nation is clamoring to know more, including her opinions on many hot subjects — including Gerry and Theresa Nist’s shock divorce news.
The pair decided to end their relationship just three months after their lavish televised wedding, a move that some fans thought dampened the show.

Joan Vassos as the first Golden Bachelorette was a surprise to many fans in the franchise. She has now surpassed Katie Thurston in Bachelor Nation. But what does that mean?
Joan Vassos Surpasses Katie Thurston In Bachelor Nation
Bachelor Nation fans love to give titles and create competition among the contestants. For example, there’s an entire Instagram account dedicated to tracking how many social media followers Bachelor Nation alums have.
One thing fans like to keep track of is specific details of the jump from contestant to lead. In particular, how long they were on the show before getting eliminated and later named Bachelorette or in Joan’s case, Golden Bachelorette.
For example, the early Bachelorette leads typically came in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place on their particular Bachelor season. That tradition differed slightly when Hannah Brown was named Bachelorette despite coming in 7th place on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor.

Golden Bachelor star Joan Vassos was named the historic first Golden Bachelorette. Is Gerry Turner’s runner-up, Leslie Fhima, bitter over the snub? Or is she responsible for the network choosing someone else?
Golden Bachelor Runner-Up Passed Over For Spinoff
Many people thought Leslie Fhima was a shoo-in for the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. After all, she was one of the two finalists on the first season of The Golden Bachelor.
Viewers felt empathy for her. Especially as they watched her heart break when Gerry Turner told her she wasn’t the right one for him. Whose heart didn’t hurt when Leslie said she’s never the right one for anyone?

She clearly wasn’t the right one for ABC to choose to lead the inaugural season of the Golden Bachelorette. That honor went to Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old widow who left the show early due to a family crisis.

ABC is switching up its schedule in a big way come fall 2024, and it’s bad news for some of our favorite series.
The Rookie, which has been bounced around the schedule in recent years, won’t return for Season 7 until 2025.
An exact timeline for the show’s return has not been determined, but it will have an 18-episode order, which is pretty good when considering the delayed start.
ABC plans to air those 18 episodes uninterrupted. Will Trent, which has been renewed for Season 3, is also getting the same treatment.
The biggest shocker on the fall schedule is the decision to bump Grey’s Anatomy to the 10/9c slot after spinoff Station 19 ends its run.
The news comes following a budget cut for the long-running medical drama, which will reduce the number of series regulars per episode.

Joan Vassos is getting another shot at love.
The 61-year-old school administrator has been cast as the inaugural Golden Bachelorette, ABC announced Tuesday during Disney’s Upfront presentation.
Vassos was an early frontrunner during Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor. She unfortunately had to voluntarily leave the show during Week 3 due to a family emergency. During the Women Tell All, Vassos admitted that she felt there was some unfinished business between her and Turner. At times, she said it was hard not to wonder what may have happened if she’d stayed.
ABC also announced that The Golden Bachelorette, which debuts this fall, will air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Et/Pt before new episodes of Abbott Elementary.

“The Golden Bachelor was probably the television event last year,” ABC TV Group President Craig Erwich said in an interview with Deadline on the day of the Disney upfront presentation. The Bachelor offshoot was so successful, it spawned a highly rated special, The Golden Wedding.
But just three months after Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist tied the knot, they filed for divorce having never lived together. The controversy raised questions about the future of the franchise whose previously ordered spinoff, The Golden Bachelorette, premieres this fall.
The Golden Bachelor is not going anywhere, Erwich suggested.
“I think Golden Bachelor is a show that’s about finding love at a later age. It’s incredibly root-able, it’s aspirational, and that franchise and those values extend to a lot of different people and a lot of different stories. So we’re very dedicated to this franchise,” he said.
