ABC’s afternoon hour of news and lighthearted fare, GMA3: What You Need to Know, has a typically eclectic lineup planned for the week of January 27.

Kicking things off on Monday, January 27, is none other than Grant Ellis, fresh from the Bachelor hothouse. Will he dish dirt on the latest season, which premieres Monday night? Unclear. But he’ll undoubtedly be charming, and that’s usually enough. Later, country star Kane Brown will grace the stage with a musical performance. And because Mondays are for money (apparently), author Tori Dunlap will offer financial wisdom, presumably not involving roses or televised heartbreak.

Tuesday, January 28, brings the unexpected pairing of meteorology and botany, as Ginger Zee extols the virtues of indoor plants. Could this be the secret to surviving another polar vortex? We shall see. Then, it’s a culinary journey to the East, as cultural expert Danielle Chang shares Lunar New Year recipes. Hopefully, no one will ask Mr. Ellis to demonstrate his dumpling-folding skills.

Wednesday, January 29, features a dose of disco fever with Gloria Gaynor, alongside Joaquina Kalukango, star of the Gaynor biopic I Will Survive. Expect some inspirational belting. For the more practically minded, Tory Johnson returns with her “Deals & Steals,” offering us a chance to save big on things we probably (almost certainly) don’t need. Rounding out the day, Meghan Houle dispenses career advice for those aiming high in 2025.

Thursday, January 30, is all about legal eagles, fashionistas, and laughs. Attorney Brian Buckmire answers viewer legal questions in the “Better Call Brian” segment (presumably not involving meth labs or colorful Albuquerque characters). Then, Milly Almodovar heats things up with the “Shop It Like It’s Hot” segment, likely full of must-have items your wallet will fear. Comedian Michael Yo will drop by to promote his new special, and travel host Samantha Brown will entice viewers with far-flung destinations.

Finally, Friday, January 31, concludes the week with a touch of faith, as Pastor Jonathan Pokluda offers spiritual guidance in the “Faith Friday” segment. And for those struggling with the post-holiday clutter, Leslie Corona of Real Simple magazine shares organizational tips. Because nothing brings inner peace like a perfectly arranged sock drawer.

GMA3: What You Need to Know airs weekdays at 1 p.m. EST | 12 p.m. CST on ABC, and at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. EST on ABC News Live.
