Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had a touching family reunion on Live with Kelly and Mark this morning. At the start of today’s episode, Consuelos pointed out an interesting sign
in the front row, which Ripa agreed was very exciting.
The Surprise Audience Member
We have talked about this in the past. Mark and I had a baby on All My Children, Baby Enzo. And we’ve often wondered, whatever happened to Baby Enzo?
Ripa continued. And Baby Enzo is in our audience today,
as reported by Alex Vena for Decider.
The role was played by a young girl who now is 23 years old, just days shy of their real-life daughter Lola Consuelos’ age. The surprise audience member explained, I guess on the set, my mom held Lola and you held me.
A Bit of Soap Opera History
Ripa’s character from ‘All My Children,’ Hayley Vaughan, together with Consuelos’ Mateo Santos Jr., welcomed their littlest soap star companion back in 2001.
Hayley Vaughan’s final episode on All My Children aired on February 22, 2002.
An Unforeseen Twist
I’m not the boy. I have a twin brother. At the time, he didn’t have enough hair, so I was Baby Enzo for you.
she explained with a smile, answering affirmatively that her brother now has hair.
This audience participation transformed a regular episode into a remarkable trip down memory lane, especially as Ripa reminisced about her time portraying Hayley Vaughan since 1990.
