Married Live! co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had an unexpected reunion on Monday morning’s show with All My Children‘s “Baby Enzo.”
In an August 2001 episode of the long-running, now-defunct ABC soap opera, Ripa’s character Hayley Vaughan Santos gave birth to a baby boy named Lorenzo, also known as Enzo. This nostalgic moment came alive again when Enzo, now a twentysomething young woman named Olivia Daddona, appeared in the Live! audience.
A Touching Throwback
Daddona explained to Ripa and Consuelos that she had been chosen over her twin brother to play Enzo because “at the time, he didn’t have enough hair.” She also shared that she is about three days younger than Ripa and Consuelos’ real-life daughter Lola. Daddona reminisced about how her mother would hold Lola off-camera while Ripa held her as Enzo.
Olivia Daddona in Focus
Provided well-being and all aspects of childcare for 100+ families on the North and South Fork, CPR/AED certified.
Daddona expressed that she did not continue with acting, joking, No, this is my big break now, I guess!
Instead, she works in sports. Even though her role might seem small in the grand scheme of things, moments like these provide a delightful blast from the past for soap fans.
Sparks of Nostalgia
Seeing Daddona stirred up a blend of emotions for longtime fans of All My Children. This moment not only highlighted the reach of soap operas but also displayed how they linger in viewers’ hearts long after they cease broadcasting. As Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos looked back at their soap opera days with a fond smile, fans felt a timeless connection.
A New Chapter
Earlier this week, Ripa and Consuelos also shared a montage video on their Instagram profiles showcasing their family beach vacation. The montage featured snippets of their time together set to Beyoncé’s “Summer Renaissance,” including Riverdale star Cole Sprouse. This recent activity underlines the enduring chemistry between the pair, both as co-hosts and life partners.
