Y&R's Driscoll Is Engaged!

When THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ John Driscoll (Chance; Coop, GUIDING LIGHT) decided to pop the question to his long-time girlfriend, Beth Nelson, he considered a series of venues. “I thought maybe I would propose on the beach, having her family come out and surprising her. Then I figured maybe we’d go back home to Virginia. Then I thought, let’s go to New York to the restaurant we had our first date at,” he shares with Soaps In Depth.

Yet when Nelson, who works for an air lease company, needed to go to Paris for an air show, the actor realized that he couldn’t ask for a better location. “She was going to be there for four days, where she had to work one day,” he says. “We decided to turn this into a mini-vacation. She had no idea, but I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is the perfect time to do it.”
