Someone other than oneself
Empathy drives the popularity of the romance genre. We all know love or want it in our lives. We have it and like to see or read others getting it. It validates a purpose for being on this planet. It recalls a moment in time when you knew you have found your person. Or we want love and turn to romance novels or TV for reinforcement that it can and will happen to you.
So, write on.
Clare Crawley will start her search for a happily ever
after on ABC’s The Bachelorette this Tuesday. ABC has been expanding their fans
with men and women of color in the lead and in Clare’s case, she’ll be the
oldest Bachelorette at 39. Since the population is aging, it’s a good move.
Also, people can fall in love at any age. So, bravo.
But something strange has happened. In the teaser,
Chris Harrison, the host says to Clare, “you have blown up the Bachelor.”
Well rumors have it that Clare falls in love quickly
and leaves early with her man. Then ABC, having less than a full season pick
up, Tayshia Adams who finishes the season, and I guess it may be extended.
Tayshia is a gorgeous woman with a great heart and kindness ofr others. She’s
an exotic mix of black and white.
The thing I don’t understand and I’ll find out by
watching is that Tayshia is 30 and I assume the men on Clare’s show are older
like Clare. So we’ll see if ABC scuttles Clare’s men and rounds up a new batch.
Age differences are a matter of personal choice, so we’ll see.
A word of caution. Since the show hasn’t aired yet,
all this about Tayshia is speculation, but the investigative reporters swear by
it. Stay tuned.
