You’re never too old to find love.
That is certainly the hope of Gerry Turner, a 71-year-old widower, who will meet 22 women in ABC’s new reality dating spin-off, The Golden Bachelor. The suitors range anywhere from 60 to 75 years old, a big departure for a franchise that has previously discussed 30-somethings like they have one foot in the grave.
