Kelly Ripa is open about acknowledging individuals who’ve significantly influenced her life; in particular, she credits Judy Blye Wilson, a former casting director for All My Children, for introducing her to the people who eventually became her family.
As reported by People magazine, Ripa discussed the topic on Tuesday, 14th January, during a discourse at the 92Y in New York City, which was titled ‘All My Children at 55’ – an event celebrating the show’s anniversary, moderated by Andy Cohen and Susan Lucci.
During our conversation, Cohen inquired the casting director about a particular casting instance she was most pleased with. At this point, it is said that the actress from Hope & Faith inserted herself into the discussion, expressing her gratitude by saying, “Allow me to chime in, if I may – without Judy, I truly wouldn’t have anything.
Ripa stated that she wouldn’t be where she is today without her husband, Mark Consuelos, and their children. She acknowledged that she was grateful for every good thing they had experienced, which she considered herself responsible for. Ripa wanted to publicly declare this sentiment, as she had done before, but since Wilson wasn’t present, she chose not to do so through that particular outlet.
In the course of their chat, it was mentioned that the leaders of the specified series had been unable to reach a consensus regarding Consuelos. Furthermore, it was said that she strongly supported him.
Wilson reminisced about introducing Ripa to his office, displaying a black-and-white photograph of the Riverdale actor alongside his headshot, and mentioning, “She was quite fond of him. Truly. I left no stone unturned in making it happen. And I’m still unsure why they delayed things, but they eventually gave him the part on a temporary basis.
As a dedicated follower in this production, I found myself scrambling to find another actor to match Consuelos’ portrayal of the character. Wilson shared an intriguing story about how I humbly asked the producer for help, who eventually agreed, leading to what I consider as one of the best roles I’ve ever been given.
As I understand from the source, the director of casting expressed, gesturing towards Ripa, “It doesn’t just fit this narrative, but it also seems to align with your personal life.” Adding, “That’s fantastic. Simply fantastic.
