Susan Lucciwaited a while to be honored for her contributions to daytime television.

So shes cautious about any role she might have in future editions ofThe Golden Bachelorette.

I believe that they contacted my publicist, and it wasnt for me, Lucci said.

My assistant told me she was going home to watchThe Bachelorwith her daughters, she recalled.

She said, Well, its really good.

The first time I watched it was that night a couple seasons ago.

I was immediately engaged.

I wanted to know more about these people.

It wasnt for me, but I do love watching, she added.

People tried to confirm the ABC and Warner Bros. potential interest.

A source told the publication that Lucci was not offered a role.

Joan Vassos, 61, has been announced as the first Golden Bachelorette for this fall.
