'Love Boat' cast, 'Bachelor' featured in Rose Parade

PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- The cast of two TV shows new and old are expected to appear on floats at the 2015 Rose Parade in Pasadena.

"The Love Boat" cast will reunite on a float celebrating Princess Cruises' 50th anniversary.

"Look at how beautiful it is. It's 60 feet long, 25,000 flowers. We are so thrilled and so honored to be a part of this," said Jill Whelan, who played Vicki Stubing on "The Love Boat."

"It is a wonderful thing that I get to cross off of my bucket list -- being in the Rose Parade. It's wonderful and we get a chance to connect with the float, our careers, our past careers and to reminisce," said Ted Lange, who played Issac Washington on the show.

One of ABC's current shows, "The Bachelor," is getting its first float in the big parade. The new bachelor, Chris Soules, said never in his wildest dreams did he think this would be a part of his life.

"I'm excited to be in the parade and see all 'The Bachelor' fans. I'm not really sure what to expect. I've never been to the parade, but I've been told there are millions of people who watch this. It's going to be fun to see them," Soules said.

Soules is also excited about the upcoming season and said that he is now in love.

"There's some really great girls and some pretty interesting moments that I'm looking forward to watching myself," Soules said.
