The ‘Live’ stars had a mini family reunion with a familiar face.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had a blast from the past when they reunited with a former on-screen family member from the couple’s time on the popular soap opera All My Children.
The LIVE with Kelly and Mark stars posed for a sweet photo with actress Eva LaRue, who played the character Maria Santos on All My Children. Maria was the sister of Mateo Santos, Consuelos’ character, who married Ripa’s character Hayley Vaughan.
