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.”

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.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

ahah haa a glass a deadly weapon, now I’ve heard it all ..
My cupboard is loaded with deadly weapons!!!
I dont like weapons in my house…we drink from paper cups, lol
It IS a deadly weapon…you smash it and use it like a knife. Glass/sharp…always told to look around for one in self defense if need be.
As for Crystal…never liked her character on OLTL. If she used it as self defense because she was afraid for her life…fine. If she used it because the woman was pissing her off…Crystal deserves to do the time.
Have you ever heard of broken glass in someone’s face? Or how about glass in the eyes? Your attitude disgusts me ! Have you ever heard of someone taking broken glass to somebody’s throat? I hope you never get threatened by someone with a broken glass maybe it might not be so funny!!!!
FYI: My father took a broken milk bottle to my Mother’s throat when I was 5 years old it was not real funny!
Probably she will get probation typical Hollywood acting out! Just like this story on Phillip Seymour Hoffman oh my gosh such a great actor is all we are hearing maybe so but he was a junkie and where were his so called friends in Hollywood when he needed help. Watching him self-destruct while they now show up to his apartment bringing gifts to his kids. Try pooling your money and seeking counseling for his kids. Ok rant over! And NYC! News Flash HE is the one who stuck the needle in his arm not the dealers.
I so agree with you…people are responsible for their own actions!!!
Please don’t put Phillip Seymour Hoffman into this little story about a little known ex soap, sub par actress. Hoffman was a brilliant actor–a true chameleon. Moreover, addiction is real disease often caused by dopamine depletion in the frontal lobes of the brain. Dopamine is what produces feelings of happiness and without substantial levels of it, one is left feeling very depressed. People who suffer from addictions are usually self medicating for their clinical depression. If you haven’t suffered from it, or have a loved one who has suffered from it like many of us do, then you cannot presume to know or judge someone who has suffered from addictions. Please stop with the judging and start educating yourself on the subject.
@Harry You fit into that category of People who think that no one is responsible for their actions. A popular theory especially the last five and a half years. Dopamine is just another Feel Good response to let responsible people off the hook. While I agree that Mr. Hoffman was a good actor and I enjoyed him in his many roles in the end the only one responsible for Hoffman’s death was Mr. Hoffman. Am I judging maybe yes I have my own demons that I slay every day but tell me this will his children accept your explanation of why Dad is not there to tuck them in at night. I think not!!!
I think it’s a set-up!!!!
Eric Braeden never liked her. I think he is behind all of this!!!
Innocent until proven guilty. We should fly a SAVE CRYSTAL banner over ABC studios!!!
Wow, you are truly obsessed with Muhney. You need to get some professional help.
Joshua is just joking…i dont read into his comment where he is obsessed with Mulney…why didnt you reply that to those who did fly a banner and are really obsessed with him?
I think he was joking.
I think that was a joke by Joshua, mocking the constant Muhney fans.
I Loved it and kudos to you for stating what you believe. Clearly our beloved actors are in need of the professional help.
U gotta chuckle out of me…lol
Very funny!! LOL
HaHa, thanks guys. Of course I was just being silly.
Then again it is interesting how none of Michael Muhney’s obsessed ladies are coming to Hunt’s defense (or any ladies) yet they are willing to fly to the moon and back to defend Muhney even though a young lady has accused him of a heinous act. Talk about double standards amongst the sexes.
Well, I thought it was a good idea, Joshua.
I hope she goes to jail, she is a spoiled brat, in real life too. I hope she learns, her lesson. When she was on one life to live, she was a big diva. crystal didnt get along with anybody. what a shame, brcause she was a good actress, jail might change her, lets hope, or if she has an attitude in prison, she will get beaten up, by the big mamas in prison, lol.
I doubt the big mommas would beat her up…i think they’d have other plans for her, if you know what i mean…lol
Gino…WELL SAID!!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
Lol that’s hella funny
Too bad…i think she wouldve made a wickedly good Eve on Days? jmo
well it is said to be a ”during a bar brawl!”
and that takes two to ”brawl”..
she said ” it was self defense, it well may be just that..
People jump without knowing the whole story..
Damn, I hope to heaven none of you are ever on jury duty .,
Well, IF it’s self defense I can’t blame her. IF…..
I gotta say that I am not surprised by any of this. Crystal Hunt has ALWAYS HAD a snotty and diva-like attitude. Back in the day, CH had a major attitude problem while she was playing Lizzie on GL and her attitude got EVEN WORSER when she (later on) was playing Stacy on OLTL. And, if I remember correctly, A LOT of soap fans did not care for her OLTL character. Myself included. Bottom Line Here: Crystal Hunt needs to do serious prison time…and A LOT OF IT, TOO!!!!!
I agree with you my friend.. Crystal is a big big diva, justin bieber needs to join her in jail. Lol. They are a big mess. When crystal was on guiding Light, she had major fights with her co workers. she seems like, she is above the law. Like justin bieber. Throw her in jail, and let her become a better person, but i don’t see that happening anytime soon. MY boyfriend says crystal needs a smack across the face, then lock her up. she seems like a snotty woman. peace! Jay
RIGHT ON, Stefano!!!!! Crystal Hunt clearly has ISSUES. Yikes. And, if and when CH does land in prison, she had better watch herself…those big-mama-like female inmates ain’t gonna put up with her snotty ass. No.
Stefano…you and your boyfriend have a good one. Peace.
I believe they will try to make an example of her. It was a glass for goodness sake. Really? Probably an ADA trying to make a name for him/herself. Everything is so political anymore.
Stop it no one should ever attack anyone with a glass or a fist what is the matter with you people????
“It was a glass for goodness sake?” WHAT!? Try being in front of someone trying to cut or stab you with broken glass! Jeez!
geezuz people have wild imaginations lol
”’Hunt allegedly smashed a glass into another woman’s face during a bar brawl!”
nowhere does it say broken and to the throat..
Sooo many really bad dangerous jurors on the soap bards..
To most everyone it is always guilty without even knowing the whole story/the facts..
it also say ”allegedly ” …
“Allegedly” is always stated until proven true. The point is BROKEN GLASS IS DANGEROUS and it IS USED AS A WEAPON that CAN KILL and MAIM! It’s not a LOL thing…
It was not said the glass was broken..
No judging should be done saying or assuming it was broken..
See very bad jury people= soap fans.. lol
su0000
the glass was “smashed” into the victim’s face. therefore, if that is indeed what happened…the glass was broken and I repeat is a deadly weapon.
no one here is saying convict…we are saying IF she did it…and there was not threat to her being in personal harm…then she should be held guilty. why are you fighting this? it’s not “soap fans” … it’s common sense. Smashing GLASS into someone’s face, chest, neck…can kill.
