'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever': Why is Chris Harrison trying to find a date for Stephanie's daughter?

Harrison's interest in whether Stephanie's teenaged daughter Sophia would date Jason Mesnick's son Ty has not settled well with the audiences

Stephanie Hogan was someone who had an added advantage over the rest of the suitresses on Jason Mesnick's season which is being recapped on tonight's episode of 'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever'. She was a single mother of a very young daughter and she could easily bond with Mesnick, who was a single father to his son Ty who was of the same age. This was 11 years ago when the season aired. Stephanie and Mesnick connected immensely while on the show but eventually they figured out that they weren't going to work out in the long run and decided to go separate ways. Stephanie joined host Chris Harrison on the recap episode tonight along with her daughter and while viewers are happy to get an update on her, they were equally creeped out by Chris being interested in Sophia's, who is now a teenager, dating life. 

After taking a quick update from Stephanie about her life 11 years later, he went ahead to ask her about her daughter. She then invited the all-grown-up Sophia to join in and interact with him and he straight away started asking questions related to Mesnick's son Ty and if they have been in touch. Sophia replied that she's in touch and that Ty also asked for her Snapchat. Chris later went on to ask her thoughts about Ty and if she'd consider dating him, to which Sophia admitted that he was cute.

Chris's interest in the 'Bachelor' baby's dating life has clearly not settled well with the audiences. "Chris Harrison being interested in the dating life of teenagers is kinda cringe #TheBachelorGOAT," wrote one fan. 

"Chris Harrison matchmaking teenagers is somehow creepier than The Baby Bachelor #TheBachelorGOAT @jimmykimmel," wrote another. 

"Chris is losing it in quar. He’s been so deprived of his hosting duties he’s now trying to hook up high schoolers?" read another tweet. 

"Why is Chris trying to hook up these TEENS!" read another tweet. 

"OMG Chris trying to match-make the KIDS?! LOL," read another.

'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Of All Time' airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET only on ABC.
