The Golden Bacheloretterunner-up will appear on the long-running soap opera,General Hospital, on August 21, 2025, and I feel that his shift in priorities might mean that he’s not the best choice to be the star ofThe Golden Bachelorseason 2.Guy, a 66-year-old ER doctor from Reno, Nevada, recently retired from his job after 35 years. DuringThe Golden Bachelorette, Guy fell in love with leading lady Joan Vassos, and he made it to her final two before she said goodbye to him because she knew that she was in love with Chock Chapple and got engaged to him.
ThroughoutThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1, Guy proved himself to be a romantic and sensitive partner. He and Joan’s relationship started off slowly, but then it blossomed into a full-blown romance. Although there was some controversy surrounding his appearance on the show because it came to light that his ex-wife had filed a restraining order against him, which she later dropped, as Joan’s runner-up, Guy was considered to be a frontrunner to be the next Golden Bachelor. However,I believe that hisGeneral Hospitalappearance might prove that he’s more focused on fame now than love.
It Was Guy’s Idea To Appear On General Hospital
Guy Watched The Soap In College
Peoplerevealed that,onGeneral Hospital, Guy will play the role of wildlife journalist Jeffrey Beckett, and interact with both Cynthia Watros' character of Nina Reeves, and Maura West as Ava Jerome. These are two powerhouse actresses, and, in a preview for the episode shared via theGeneral HospitalInstagram page, Guy holds his own in a scene with Cynthia that was a comedic promotion for his appearance. In an interview with the outlet, Guy shared that it was his idea for him to appear on the soap.
Guy had jokingly told one of theBachelorfranchise producers that he’d like a chance to appear onGeneral Hospital, which he called"such a well-respected long-running series.“Guy used to watchGeneral Hospitalin college, so, in November, atThe Golden Bachelorettefinale, he asked the producer for the opportunity to guest star on the show.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Guy shared,“Having had absolutely no acting experience,I said [it] in — kinda — jest.“He said that, within a couple of weeks, he received an email with a Zoom invitation to meet with [executive producer] Frank Valentini and [Vice President, Production & Administration, ABC Daytime, Disney ABC Television Group] Dominick Nuzzi. Guy added,“After a 30-minute Zoom interview, they loved the idea of a real ER doctor who made it to the final two of The Golden Bachelorette. A month later, I received an offer to be on a small one-day episode.”
It’s interesting to me thatGuy used what was probably his one chanceto ask a producer for a favor to request a role onGeneral Hospital. I don’t think that he has any desire to be the Golden Bachelor because, if he did, he probably would’ve asked about that. Of course, it’s possible that his casting as the star ofThe Golden Bachelorseason 2 is already in the works, but I don’t feel that there’s any evidence of that.I think that Guy’s desire to pursue acting onGeneral Hospitalproves that his priorities might’ve changed.
Guy Wants To Return To General Hospital In The Future
Guy Would Like To Reprise His Role
Another red flag about Guy’s appearance onGeneral Hospitalis that he hopes to return to the show in the future. He shared,“Before I went on the show, I was happy just to have one chance to see what it is like behind the scenes. Now, I had so much fun and I feel like I could take being comfortable in front of a camera to a more relaxed and excellent level. GH, just give me one more chance!”
Signs The Golden Bachelor Season 2 Lead Won’t Be From The Golden Bachelorette (These Front Runners Can’t Take On The Role)
The Golden Bachelorette season 1 favorites may not be eligible to be in The Golden Bachelor season 2. Will producers have to cast a complete unknown?
While I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with Guy wanting to continue acting onGeneral Hospital, especially because he liked it so much, I do think thatthis is a sign that he isn’t the right man to be the Golden Bachelor. Now that he’s retired at age 66,Guy will have the time to pursue things in lifethat wouldn’t have been possible when he was so busy being an ER doctor. I think that he should explore this new venture now that he’s been bitten by the acting bug, and perhaps begin a second career on the small screen in scripted television.
Guy Might Want Fame More Than Love After Getting His Heart Broken
Guy’s Priorities Might Have Shifted
Although I believe that Guy sincerely wanted to pursue a relationship with Joan and that he definitely would’ve proposed to her in the end, after having his heart broken, I think that it’s likely that his priorities have shifted.He most likely wants to put himself first now, so he immediately jumped at the chance to appear on General Hospital. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s put finding love on the backburner for now.
Guy shared that he"responded in the affirmative immediately"to the offer to appear onGeneral Hospital. He explained,“Even though I was ecstatic over being a cast member on The Golden Bachelorette, this was an exciting opportunity to actually act and be a part of an iconic show. This is all happening after deciding to hang up my stethoscope and retire after 35 years.”
I’m So Happy Mark Anderson Found Love Outside Of The Golden Bachelor Shows (The Show Doesn’t Deserve Him As Lead)
The Golden Bachelorette’s Mark Anderson found love outside the Bachelor franchise, and I’m so happy that he didn’t have to continue to be on the show.
I believe thatGuy got a taste of stardom after hisGolden Bachelorettestint, and he’s realized that he could use his newfound fame to branch out of his comfort zone in his retirement years. This second act in his life could turn into him literally becoming an actor, especially because I think that he did a wonderful job with hisGeneral Hospitalrole based on the teaser that was revealed byPeople. As a lifelong fan of the soap, I was pleasantly surprised by Guy’s acting abilities, andI could picture his character becoming a regular part of the soap’s canvas.
Guy Might Have Better Luck Finding Love Outside Of Reality TV
After Guy’sGolden Bacheloretteheartbreak and the backlash due to his ex-wife’s restraining order,I think that he’d be better off searching for love outside of reality TV. I feel that a more private relationship might be better for him because he won’t be judged by everyone. Guy could pursue a new relationship on his own terms, without the interference of theGolden Bachelorproducers, who can’t always be trusted to have their leads' best interests at heart.
I’d hate to seeGuy become theGolden Bachelorlead, and then fail at it.The Golden Bachelorseason 1 lead Gerry Turner’s marriage to Theresa Nist ended in divorce just three months after they tied the knot during the Golden Wedding, which unfairly turned him into a villain. The producers didn’t do anything to protect him, and I wouldn’t blame Gerry if he regretted ever signing up for the show in the first place. Although Joan and Chock are still going strong,Guy would be smart to steer clear ofThe Golden Bachelor.
The Golden Bachelorette: Does Jonathan Rone’s Recent Breakup Mean He Could Still Be The Golden Bachelor?
After months of dating his new girlfriend, The Golden Bachelorette’s Jonathan Rone is single again. Could he be The Golden Bachelor or is it too late?
I’d like to see Guy continue his acting career. He has all of the qualities of a leading man. Guy’s handsome, successful, intelligent, and charming, which are all characteristics that could make him a fantastic soap opera star. I can’t wait to see Guy make his debut as Jeffrey onGeneral Hospital, but I don’t think that she should be the Golden Bachelor.Guy isn’t the guy forThe Golden Bachelorseason 2, but I do hope to see him on TV again very soon in a different genre.
