ABC Pauses The Bachelorette, No New Season Airing This Summer
The Bachelorette will not be welcoming new suitors to the mansion this summer.
The ABC reality franchise is pausing its female-centric spinoff and won't be airing a Summer 2025 season. New seasons have historically aired in the summer after a Bachelorette has been chosen from the pool of contestants on the most recent season of The Bachelor.

According to our sister site Deadline, which broke the news, The Bachelorette has not been cancelled, and it could possibly return later in 2025. A reason for the skipped summer cycle, however, has not been made clear.
The Bachelorette's latest run ended last year with an emotional twist after Jenn Tran decided to give Devin Strader her final rose and, in a Bachelorette first, was the one who proposed to him. (Read full recap.) The pair got engaged, only for fans to learn that Strader later broke things off in a phone call. Tran had to relive the pain of the whole affair during the After the Final Rose live reunion, in what TVLine's Dave Nemetz called an 'exercise in needless cruelty.'

View List
The Bachelor premiered in March 2002 and is currently airing Season 29 episodes — centered on one of Tran's exes, Grant Ellis — on Mondays at 8/7c on ABC. The Bachelorette made its subsequent debut in January 2003, and has aired 21 seasons so far. The dating franchise has inspired other offshoots, including Bachelor Pad, which premiered in August 2010 and eventually evolved into Bachelor in Paradise in 2014; the spinoff has aired nine seasons. Most recently, ABC debuted The Golden Bachelor/Bachelorette, each having aired its freshman run.
The Bachelorette's most recent cycle, which aired in July and August 2024, averaged 2.5 million total viewers and a 0.4 demo rating (in Live+Same Day), matching its Summer 2023 numbers.

Former Young & Restless Star Daniel Goddard Says His Time on the Show ‘Amounted to Nothing'
Daniel Goddard is well-known among The Young and the Restless fans for his roles as Cane Ashby and Caleb Atkinson. Recently, the actor made a shocking revelation years after leaving the show, stating that his time there brought him nothing. Here is everything you need to know about Goddard's latest statement regarding the popular soap opera. Daniel Goddard, a former star of The Young and the Restless, recently began portraying Professor Henry Dalton on General Hospital. In a recent interview with Woman's World, Goddard discussed his new role and reflected on his time on The Young and the Restless. He mentioned that he had stepped away from acting but was invited to audition for the role of Jack Brennan on General Hospital. However, at the time, he was focused on his business ventures. The 53-year-old also shared that it was difficult for him to get back to auditioning after stepping away from acting. He said, 'I had a lot of hesitation because I had a lot of fear. Fear of not being good, of failing, of letting down a fanbase.' Goddard added how 'those 12 years or so on Y&R amounted to nothing, because I was back to auditioning.' However, Goddard managed to overpower his fear and had a great time auditioning. He shared, 'When I left, I thought, 'Geez, I missed that!' Because I hadn't auditioned in four years. I had no intention of going back to acting, but it was a moment of awakening for me.' Daniel Goddard discussed the differences between working on both shows. He explained that in The Young and the Restless, actors receive the entire script, which allows them to see what other characters are saying about them. 'I was also always going into the writers' room to read scripts four weeks ahead, so I'd know where the character was going,' he said. On the other hand, in General Hospital, he only receives the pages that include his own character.

General Hospital Spoilers Preview June 6: In the Shadow of Several Truths, What Comes Next?
The next General Hospital spoilers video for Friday, June 6, 2025, shows Nina warning Drew to choose his next move carefully while Sasha asks Jason for one last favor, and Sonny lobbies for a compromise. Holding her newborn at the hospital, a smiling Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) tells Jason (Steve Burton), 'I have one more favor to ask.' Somehow, we think it's not as big an ask as pretending to be her baby's father. While these two may have had a few sparks, she might end up getting back together with Michael (Rory Gibson). READ THIS: Why it's time for Sasha and Michael to become the couple they should have been. Marco (Adrian Anchondo) says to Sidwell (Carlo Rota), 'This is the last thing you want.' Is he referring to Natalia's (Eva LaRue) DUI? It could be because the next shot shows her at the police station, telling someone on the phone, 'I'm in real trouble.' Elsewhere, Anna (Finola Hughes) says to someone, 'You're gonna need more than mudslinging to do it.' She's outside at night, so who could she be addressing? Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove)? Those guys excel at mudslinging. READ THIS: Learn why every '90s kid knows Cosgrove. Carly (Laura Wright) asks someone, 'Would you continue to lie to me?' Carly's probably trying to find out if Jason would've kept pretending Sasha was carrying his baby if she hadn't confessed under pressure on the witness stand. Sonny (Maurice Benard) tells Michael, 'Sometimes compromise is the only solution.' After years of dealing with custody issues, Sonny knows what he's talking about so Michael better heed his words. READ THIS: Will saving her daughter cost Nina (Cynthia Watros) her best friend? And Nina tells Drew, 'If you do that, we will both lose Willow.' Perhaps he wants to confess to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) that he and Nina used to sleep together, or that he knows Nina arranged for Jacinda to drug him with Ketamine.
