Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”
Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for times in your area.
Share your birthday wishes for Kelly in the comment section, and let us know your thoughts on how Wendy Williams broadcast the news, unbeknownst to the All My Children newlyweds, that they tied the knot in Vegas?

TUNE-IN: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Banneker Homecoming Episodes, EP Sheila Ducksworth Speaks on Impact HBCUs Have in Real Life
As previously reported, kicking off today, is a two-part Beyond the Gates, when The Duprees gather to celebrate Banneker University’s homecoming weekend.
The producers and writers are taking an opportunity to spotlight the rich traditions of the long-held tradition of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through its fictional university.
The episodes are today on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 2 and next week on Monday, October 5, where in true Beyond the Gates fashion, there will be some surprising drama that ensues when someone shows up!

BANNEKER REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HBCUS
Sheila Duckworth, (executive producer, Beyond the Gates) spoke to Soaps.com to give some insight on the decision for the series to illustrate the ties that bind with HBCUs.
“It was important that we have this school as almost a character on our canvas, right from the beginning. Beyond even education, HBCUs have been pivotal when it comes to everything from economic progression and fostering a sense of community to the development of leadership skills,” explained Ducksworth. “From the beginning, we wanted to illustrate that what the Duprees are able to do in the world was a direct reflection of the impact HBCU’s have in real life.”
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE
The EP talked about how purposeful the elements that integrate Banneker into the overall story of Beyond the Gates are including: the Dupree family door knocker that is a lion, the mascot for the fictional university, plus, the upcoming fight song that the cast will sing together on the Monday, October 5 episode, and the painting the hangs at Fairmont Crest.
That portrait of Vernon Dupree’s (Clifton Davis) father, George Cheeks Dupree, that hangs prominently at the country club, was named after CBS executive George Cheeks (now Chairman of TV and Media, Paramount), and as Ducksworth says of the legacy of Vernon’s father, “He was the architect of Fairmont Crest.”
So, are you looking forward to these episodes honoring HBCU traditions with the Dupree and the Richardson clans? What surprises do you think might be in store come next week? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.

Welcome Ashleigh! Hopefully she will get involved with Wyatt because he deserves so much better than Hope who is making me sick dating two brothers at the same time.
I feel exactly the same.
wish hope choose liam love him with hope perfect couple
I hope that her interest will be in Wyatt as well.But I would rather if they writers would just get rid of Wyatt completely and take that wicked thing he calls a mother with him.I so want Hope to choose Liam but I don’t think that is going to happen because I have rad otherwise.I am hoping that they have changed their minds about the direction of the show and has changed it to Hope going back to Liam.I can’t believe that they would have them go through all of that with their loved ones working together to keep them apart only for them to go their separate ways in the end.That’s the soaps for you.lol.
liam and Hope together is like watching paint dry. Liam is such a cry-baby and hypocrite How many times has he went from Hope to Stefy to Hope to Stefy to Hope I hate those two together when they show them I turn the TV Liam needs to be with Aly they are the same
Wyatt does deserve better than Hope after his latest bout but I still want her to choose him and marry him. I think Liam should be with this new girl.
I think you are right and hope that is what happens.
Let Liam have her, Wyatt and Hope belong together. Liam
and Hope are boring, where as Wyatt and Hope have
awesome chemistry.. Maybe Ivy can do the same for Liam?
I think that since Hope is forever always going back to Liam she should just stay with him… I loved Hope and Wyatt together but if she cant learn from her past and and move on with a new guy then let her watch that new guy be with someone else and see what she let slip away because she got comfortable!!! I want to see Ivy and Wyatt together!!!
Most of these ‘new actresses’ – and I use that term loosely – are HORRID!!! This new one is no exception. ENOUGH with the Wyatt/Hope/Liam boring stuff!!! Think of some NEW story lines Mr. Bell! We’re sick of seeing Brooke/Ridge/ Taylor story replayed again and again – and now, in a new generation. As for Ridge and Kati=automatic click of the remote – just like when Liam shows up hypocritically whining. Rarely watch this anymore, and when I do, I find I’ve not missed a single thing.
I think Ashleigh is stunning!
She is as if not more beautiful than Elizabeth Taylor!
I realize this isn’t the conversation here.
I just felt the need to comment on her beauty!
Eric’s niece, Jessica Forrester who was on the show for several years in the mid-90’s was also John’s daughter. So is she Jessica’s sister and Maggie’s daughter too?? Hope Brad Bell explains.
Back in 1994 when Maggie and Jessica came in town it was mentioned (for sure) that Jessica had a sister. But if Ivy was her sister 20 years ago she should have been a toddler… Maybe John divorced Maggie and he had Ivy with another woman. We will see…
She’ll be attracted to Wyat…She’ll be attracted to Liam…She’ll be attracted to Oliver…She’ll be attracted to Bill…lol
And Eric …and the painting of Stephanie… and Pam… and Donna…LMAO
She’ll probably end up with Ally…lol
Why are they introducing a new character in the Forrester family? Why don’t they do what GH does and create new characters and that have no ties to existing, historical characters and families? Seems really dumb.
While I like most of the new characters GH introduces, a lot of fans are sick of new characters. A large majority would rather these characters have ties to the canvas in some way. YES, Ivy would be a newbie, BUT she is immediately considered “core” because she is a Forrester.
Ivy is a character fans never knew existed.So there’s no emotional connection to her.Yeah her sister Jessica and mother Maggie were on the show before but that was over 18 years ago.Plus i think most fans know the show is going to pair Ivy with either Liam and/or Wyatt.So her main purpose on the show is mostly romantic.
I got the sarcasm. Lol. Well played. 🙂
instead of them bring back steffie and/or thomas tptb are bringing in a new forrester that we don’t know & don’t care about……hmmm
Well, the actress who plays Steffy is very busy with her new venture and the show she’s doing for a cable network that she’s not even on the show anymore even though she’s still in the opening credits. The guy who plays Thomas is doing God only knows what these days. With Taylor gone, their presence is not needed at all. Besides, once Hope chooses either Liam or Wyatt, Ivy will most likely be paired with the one that doesn’t get chosen by Hope. But yes, the possibilities for Ivy are endless with Liam, Wyatt, Oliver, and maybe even Carter (that storyline with Maya is an absolute joke).
It’s Steffy with an aussie accent. Wonder which Spencer man she’ll land. My guess is Wyatt
As if.. Steffy was an 11 out of 10- looks wise, but Ivy’s maybe a 3.. She makes the other girls look tiny, cause she’s very big boned & wide, especially compared to Hope & Ali, & Carolyne.! & Not near as god an actress.. Not even close.! Steffy was stunning, & a brilliant actress.! Loved her & miss her
Great news!! As an Aussie myself its always a proud day watching one of our own doing us proud. Especially on such a great show like The Bold and the Beautiful.
Wyatt is going to be her love interest
Guess Brad Bell decided the inbreeding was becoming too much if they wanted to continue the show without creating a new generation with other family members, so they’re expanding the familial bloodlines.
They’re like cats!
Or the Amish.
@Johnny…Not nice at all!!
Y&R needs better stories 🙂
So does Bold and the Beautiful!
I’m happy that Ashleigh Brewer has joined B&B because i watched her on Neighbours.
ooops! meant B&B..
OMG l adore her! She was brilliant as Kate on Neighbours and I am over the moon to have her come to The Bold & The Beautiful. Welcome and best of British to you Ashleigh! X
O goody a new triangle is on the horizon — who will poor Ashleigh have to choose between or perhaps she will have to fight it out with another gal for the same guy. Either way it will not be original or interesting because it has all been done before.
I take it her options are Liam, Wyatt or Oliver.
Geese, I hope it’s not Oliver, ’cause Ally will have a break down…again!
I hope she gets in a triangle with Liam and Wyatt. Allowing Hope to see how fickle Liam really is and in the process realize she’s not the only princess around. And I admit I was always team Steffy and Taylor.
My bad– that should be who will Ivy have to choose between– not Ashleigh
I hope the best for this actress. A Steffy like character has been long overdue on this show. I can only dream that Ivy Forrester will not be sucked into the triangle of doom, but who am I kidding, of course she will, because there is nothing else for her character to be involved in.
I have no greater hope for this character than I do, any of the other “new” characters that have been introduced within the last year to BnB. Amazing new characters with loads of possibilities seem to be wasted on s/l’s that go in circles and pairs that have no life (Lope). I hope that the summer will bring something different but I wont hold my breath.
We are watching at the moment where Quinn and …. are fighting on the bridge.It would be good for someone else to come in.Cant wait.So when do Australians see it?
I just find it so odd that Ashleigh Brewer would move from one soap opera to another.
Perfect for Liam! Wedding Hott!
Yes, Liam needs someone in his life. I think Hope will pick Wyatt…sadly, cause his Mom’s a freak.
hopefully hope pulls a kelly taylor and chooses herself
then liam and wyatt will go after ivy.
She’s very pretty. Look forward to seeing her on the show.
Good Lord, the cast is bloated to begin with.
If she takes screen time from Hope(less) Im in.
Rob…dude…count me in, also!!!!! More and more, I cannot stand Hope and her wholesome, overly-moral and Puritan-like attitude. BLECH!!!!!
While I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings to the show, I’d much rather B&B bring Steffy back, I miss Jacqueline MacInnes Wood! It doesn’t make much sense to me why the show would introduce a never-before-heard-of Forrester instead of bringing back Steffy or Thomas, two well-established next-generation Forresters. It would only make sense seeing as Ridge is now back in L.A. too.
Hopefully she gives Hope some competition with Liam or Wyatt because this whole dating two guys thing is beyond ridiculous and goes completely against what Hope used to believe so strongly in, and what she berated Liam for doing with her and Steffy.
Yeah, get someone on the show to put Hope’s righteous little ass where it belongs~~without either Liam or Wyatt. I would absolutely love that.
Hopes chracter is hopeless at this point. Why would they (the writers) take everything Hope stood for , take it away, and turn her into a slut that has been sleeping with wyatt and now is dating two guys? Why doesn’t Liam tell hope about the sauna episode? Maybe that would help Hope decide tjhat she does not want to be with that immature little boy, he is not even a man, and he is very childish and acts like a school boy (teenager) with his harmones flairing up like a 10th grade boy. All he wants to do is kiss Hope, can’t he let her work? And why don’t you get rid of the Quinn and Wyatt combo, and start up a better story line? I was happy that Ridge rejected her jewelry. As for Ridge he can’t have both women, what is the matter with your writters. Brooke does not deserve either guy, not that Bill is a good catch, but he should stay alone, cause he sure hops in bed with anyone- meaning Quinn- what is with that. He will never be faithful !!!!!
Hope her character is exciting. Maybe Liam will find his true love in “Ivy”!
Or with any luck they’ll send him off to Australia with her…for good.
Not excited about this new character at all. Nothing against the actress; I’m sure she is talented. But I believe an existing younger Forrester should have been brought back into the fold. Not another made up one. My guess is she is most likely here to prop up the 2nd triangle from hell. Nothing else. Oh and knowing Brad Bell, he’ll write it in the Steffy and Thomas Forrester sold her their shares.
I hope Liam gets the girl. Let Hope have that Wyatt.
I think i’d like to see both Liam and Wyatt leave hope and go for Ivy with her being the only one with ANY integrity and says no to both. now that would be something new for the show!!! lol
Ashleigh is a total peach and a fine actor as well. I look at her and melt – such a babe! I’ve long been a B&B addict and when Ash’s character Kate was killed off in Neigbnours I wondered what her next career move would be. So it’s great I can enjoy watching her in this new glam role. I’m hoping Bell’s scriptos will inject some ginger & spice there to wake languishing Dope character up to herself. Love a bit of gritty sparky unpredicatablty for a change. You Hu….Anyone listening there…..? B&B has the makings of rivetting top shelf viewing with more innovative scriptlines. As it is it’s an endless merry-go-round two four time waltz ride.. Good for the Eventide crones, but it could be SO! much better.
…..and the new “Ridge”…omfg….so badly cast. Mr. Shambles. Looks like he should work on a dumpster, so NOT the sophisticated aesthete at home on the runways of Paris & Milan.Totally lacking the elegant suave savoir faire and slightly sinister malevolence that Ron Moss brought to the role. I hope beautiful Ivy doesn’t end up in his clutches.
Welcome She’s beautiful. We needed more Forrester family,but still want STEFFY,her mom and bro back on
I hope she’s a new love interest for Wyatt so that Liam and Hope can finally be together. It’s ridiculous how long we’ve waited for the manipulations to end and the two of them to finally have some happiness. I hope the secret she stumbles upon is something incriminating about Wyatt and his mom. It’s about time they stopped getting away with controlling every situation.
I always believed Hope and Liam belonged together – but I dont anymore – I think Ivy and Liam would be a great match!! Some fresh blood will be great for the show – I do feel Quinn and Wyatt need to go and Hope should end up alone – she had her chance with Liam and she blew it!! Glad Steffy and Taylor are not coming back for the foreseeable future – those characters are awful – they behaved like wicked witches. Ivy & Liam – that’s the way to go…and Quinn and Wyatt need to go!! Good Luck Ash – well done!!
They need some new blood in there to give Hope a second look at Liam. Maybe the new girl will hook up with Liam. I can’t stand Wyatt.
agree – can’t stand Wyatt!! He is supposed to run his mother’s company – why does it appear he is now running Forrestor??!! Or HFTF at least – who the hell is he – when Liam was with Hope he didn’t manage her line!!
If he knew Hope at all he would know that there is no way she would model Lingerie he is so wrapped up in making money!!!
Wyatt and Quinn need to go!!!!!
Omg i’m so excited! My 2/3 favourite shows are bold and the beautiful and neighbours and I loved Ashley as Kate. So upset when she left but so excited shes in my other fave B&B! Can’t wait!! <3 xx YAYAYAY!!
I want to see Hope with Liam, but she is immature about issues. Let Wyatt have her and let her be jealous when another woman gets Liam and he is happy. But please let that be it because I am sick of them chasing each other after the other finds another lover.
I used to want Hope with Liam, but he is a wet towel who is so fickle, has no mind of his own, and treated Hope like trash for so long. She is acting like a hypocrite now but I want her to end up choosing Wyatt. Liam should either get with this girl or chase after Steffy in Paris.
Hm i would make her Bi, first interested in Hope but also the boys Liam, Wyatt and Oliver and then they all fight over her
I think ivy is going to like wyatt and hope is going to get jealous .
I hope Ivy goes after Liam. I want to see him out of Hopes life.
Go Ashleigh! So excited for her!
she can date thomas since they are not blood related
New characters are always a good thing to liven up the storylines. The article stated she is appearing on July 9th and 9th??? Did you mean the 8th and 9th or the 9th and 10th?
Looking forward to Ivy character. Must say, I stopped recording this show for three weeks due to frustration with Liam and Hope. Kept hoping they would give new character Wyatt more of a role and Quinn is only reason I still watch. Kridge? Not working….
Bring on Ivy!
I say let Liam and Hope have their wedding finally. Let Wyatt have Ivy. All this keep it in the family sex soup is just disgusting and nasty. Give them SOME integrity already.
I am so happy that liam and hope are together, i know things have happened in the past but when it comes down to it they are meant for each other. I hope wyatt will become involved with this new ivy girl because i think it would be nice for wyatt to have a nice girl too, just not hope because hope id meant for liam.
Let me liam and ivy they already have that funny and romantic chemistry, going with each other leave hope and wyatt alone teamhott the best thing bell every did bring on darin brooks as hope new love interest. And they have undenable chemistry rating so all and the polls end with recycle lopemess show get very old
I think Hope and Wyatt should be together. I’m so tired of the Liam and Hope thing. It is boring and all viewers are tired of them going back together. Can anyone say, where are the real writers when you need them?
I AGREE HOPE & LIAM ARE SOOOO BORING TOGETHER. AFTER ALL THE BACK & FORTH I THINK BOTH LIAM & WYATT SHOULD RUN!
I agree, Ashley Brewer was terrible as Kate Ramsay, in the Australian soap neighbors, & she’s no better as Ivy Forrester.. I think they could have found someone ALOT better at acting than her, & someone ALOT more beautiful from Australia’s selection of stunning young actresses, she’s certainly not the poster girl for beautiful, talented actresses here by any means.! She’s very plain by B&B standards, & makes the other girls look tiny, cause she’s very big boned & weighty.! But anyway, good luck to her I guess, very lucky break.! Hopefully the next aussie actress bold chooses, will live up to the name of the show.. A girl little more like Jaquelyn McInnes Wood, (Steffy) would more resemble the best Aussie girls, & make things ALOT more interesting.! Even though she is from the US of course.! But a good example of what they could have done with the role.! There’s a real gap for a super hot/sassy, young brunette on the show sinse Steffy hasn’t been around.! & silly Ivy doesn’t even come close.. Sorry, but get us a better Aussie chick please.! Hopefully they’ll replace her with a better Aussie actress, like they do sometimes in years to come.!:-)
I don’t know why, but I just really want Hope to be happy. I love her character – I love that she always tries to do the right thing. (And I love the gorgeous Kim Matula) But I know soaps don’t do “happy”, cos happy = boring. So I guess there is no point hoping she gets with the “right” person for her (whoever that may be… I think Wyatt) cos the point of a soap is drama. But still, I just want to see Hope happy, even if only for a while. Let her enjoy her marriage to Wyatt for a bit – before the inevitable- focus on other characters for a while, and let us all have a break from Hope’s turmoil.
