In a hilarious video from Shenaz Treasury (Rama Patel) of One Life to Live, Shenaz goes to various One Life cast mates and asks them to their best impersonation of Rama Patel’s Indian accent! And the results? Well, for some they are less than stellar, but their attempts are admirable! And some are pretty damn close, or are they?
Watch as Josh Kelly (Cutter, who sounds more like a mix of Kermit the Frog and Rama Patel), Tuc Watkins (David), Andrew Trischitta (Jack), Kassie DePaiva (Blair) and Robert S. Woods (Bo) do the “Rama Patel”!
Now after the jump, watch the Rama contest and let us know who you think gets first place in their performance of Rama Patel’s accent?
All My Children
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.
Days Of Our Lives
‘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.

Vicker Man definitely does the best Rama Patel impersonation, lol
Super cute! Josh Kelly is EXTREMELY dreamy.
its so awesome to see them having fun, and genuinely enjoying each other, as family should.
I agree, DC. These little glimpses they’re giving us of life behind the cameras is really interesting and makes me feel a little it closer to these actors as people.
Tuc did a great job. If ever there is a story line of David getting lost in India, he’s ready.
They are all having waaaaaay too much fun, but I wish Erica and Robin had a go at it too.
Rama is sooooo beautiful!
So glad the Patels are back on tha canvas. Agnes Nixon wanted Llanview to be multi-cultural. This insures the tradition continues!
Hope the show is as good and a fun as some of its publicity gimmicks…OLTL could even do better here than when it was on the network. However there are some OLTL fans who cant afford cable or internet who still only recieve just the three networks, so they wont be able to watch. Even if online viewing is the future and network television becomes a thing of the past there are many who cant afford the new way of watching these shows. When tv came in as the new way of entertainment in the 1950s and radio shows became a thing of the past, the economy and job climate was so much better than today! My parents didnt have a tv in those early years but they would go over to my mothers parents to watch until they could afford one of their own. But thats not so easy today: not everyone can go over to a realitives to watch on their laptop or computer, unless the latter is connected to a large tv screen, and some may never be able to get internet to watch online shows because even if hulu is free those people still would have to pay for internet services and simply cant afford the extra bills, especially since internet rates can also go up. Thats why i hope regular network tv which you can still recieve for free without cable, sticks around for those who simply cant afford a computer or laptop, and the internet. Im certain some however can go to the library and use their computers but time there is limited, and that would be a pain in the ass to do all the time for some, especially the elderly, the disabled, and those without transportation. We do need to keep the three networks around for these people as long as we can!
So I guess I’m the only one who finds her voice annoying, minus the accent. It’s too high pitched and she comes across as a ding bat, (Archie, Archie)!
I kinda blame the director for that…i like daytime showing an Indian American family for a change!
Some members of oltl cast are obviously close knit enough to joke abt an Indian accent w/ shenaz. But I don’t think other racial minorities would be comfortable w/ this. I’d rather not watch this video bec I think it would make me cringe. There are enough hollywood films and tv shows w/c already use this kind of humor. Would oltl cast be comfortable if they were asked to joke abt a stereotypical way a gay guy would talk? That would be highly doubtful given how it would be thought of as mocking gay people. glaad and entertainment press scream homophobia when there’s any unflattering portrayal of gay people.
There are obviously very few Asian american actors on tv shows as secondary chars. Isn’t “mindy project” w/ oltl alum the only tv show from hollywood w/ an Asian american leading char? This soap obviously needs press. But was joking abt an Indian accent really necessary given the lack of Asian american chars from majority of hollywood films and tv shows? Would hollywood alienate its lgbt audience? Of course hollywood would not. Yet lgbt only comprise 1.7% of american population according to openly gay activist gary gates. While Pew research has reported that Asian americans are 6% of american population. Pew research reported that Indian americans and Filipino americans are the wealthiest. Everyone has their opinions on political correctness. Some people think lowbrow humor of replicating an Indian accent is amusing. While others have higher standards for humor. But it isn’t good business for a relaunching soap opera to potentially alienate an entire racial minority demographic who has the buying potential of 1.1 trillion dollars. A lot of Asian american chars get whitewashed by hollywood. Many hollywood films and tv shows have cast white actors for Asian american chars. hollywood already lacks representation from Asian american chars. Joking abt Indian accents isn’t good business. I’m not going to debate abt this topic if anyone replies bec no one would debate this topic if the Indian accent was replaced w/ a gay stereotype.
Do you just push a repeat button everytime you post? If Shenaz isnt offended why should anyone else be? It wouldnt offend me or my gay relative if someone joked about them because they have a sense of humor which you obviously lack…dont watch at all if it bothers you so much! Maybe if you pulled out that asian you seem to have stuck up your donkey hole you might finally develop a sense of humor too!
I still think i prefer Rama at the bar and not Jcow…she was a money hungry schemer and couldve had many opportunities to be the next Karen Woleck with some of Shelters many wealthy gentlemen customers!
Cutter did a good Kermit. I still dont understand why Blair would hire Cutter after what he and Aubrey plotted against Blairs cousin Kelly and Joey Buchanan, or is this plotline just totally 4gotten?
very funny… Vickerman for sure!
