The Actor (Season 2, Episode 14)

WELCOME THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe!
In Season 2 Episode 14... one thing we can say about these ladies: they like to DO stuff. So when the local community theater announces auditions for a play staring a swoon-worthy TV star, three of our girls try out for it. Shenanigans ensue when the actor, on the sly, starts dating each of them without the others knowing. Get ready for Patrick and Busty’s, ahem, we mean Jenn’s take!
