ABC has reportedly been scrambling to figure out what will replaceThe Bacheloretteon Sunday nights now that it's been pulled—and so far, they've airedAmerican Idol. But apparently that's not necessarily a permanent solution.
"The execs at Disney, many of whom are newer in their roles and did not want to step into their new positions with this mess, are livid," a source tellsThe Sun. "The network is obsessively scrambling to find programming to fill in the Sunday night timeslots. There's already been dozens of crisis talks and last-minute meetings amongst different show crews to see how they can remotely salvage this situation. They've talked with other ABC shows to see what can be done."
It's possible thatIdolcould "move to two nights a week for the remainder of the season" but apparently "TheDWTScrew has already offered to throw something together last minute so they're weighing those options now."

As for rumors thatThe Traitorsstar Maura Higgins could be tapped to film a live season ofThe Bachelorettethat would go into production pretty much immediately,The Sun'ssources say the show simply isn't coming back.
"Finding another Bachelorette and filming a new season is not at all being considered right now," the source insists. "The amount of money it takes to put a whole season together is too high and it would take too long to scramble that together."
Okay, but the Maura pivot is brilliant so holding out hope!
