The Bachelor and General Hospital

Maxie and Spinelli of General Hospital (Kristen Storms and Bradford Anderson respectively) will be hosting the bachelor this season.

Jason and some of the bachelorettes will be treated to a behind the scenes tour with KS & BA.

Cool, I am so looking forward to this.

If you've never indulged in the guilty pleasure of watching a season of "The Bachelor", perhaps the next season is the perfect place to start. Why now? Because one of the infamous 'group dates' will be to the set of General Hospital! What could be romantic about visiting a soap set? Learning the techniques of screen kissing and acting out a secret fantasy, that's what!

This year's bachelor is Jason Mesnick, 32, a single father from Seattle. He made it to the final rose ceremony last season, only to drop on one knee and learn that he wasn't the chosen one. His luck is bound to change because this time around, he gets to do the chosing and he'll have twenty-five beautiful women to date in the process. In addition to the General Hospital
set visit, group dates will include private concerts from R&B singer Robin Thicke and pop star Kate Voegele, a Goodyear blimp ride over Los Angeles, and a romantic overnight date to New Zealand.

The date for the screen kiss lesson hasn't been released yet, but why not catch the entire season this time around? The premiere is on Monday January 5, 2009 at 8:00 PM (EST). Soaps.com will recap the set visit episode for you in case you miss it!
