I have to admit it: When I heard that Alan Thicke would be guest-starring on CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful, I got a serious case of Growing Pains.Children of the ’80s knew Thicke as one of TV’s coolest dads, Dr. Jason Seaver. So it was trippy for me to head down to the B&B set this month and watch the Canadian funnyman tape his sudsy guest gig. He airs this Wednesday, August 30 and Thursday, August 31.Thicke plays Rich Ginger, a Bold talk show host who interviews Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) about her gig as the spokesmodel for the "Brooke’s Bedroom" underwear line. Look for Donna’s crush, Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss), to step in when Mr. Ginger’s questions take a tabloid-ish turn."I’ve always been intrigued [by soap operas]," Thicke says. "I was married to a soap star, Gloria Loring (ex-Liz, Days of our Lives) for years. So I was tickled to be invited to guest star on B&B. This was glorious because I’m just sitting down, talking to a girl in lingerie. That’s my role! It’s not very heavy."

Was there no one else out there do this? C’mon Jerry Springer is in town for DWTS3 and even he is better than Alan Thicke!
