Kelly Ripa tells 'Live' that Mark Consuelos slept on a sofa "next to a turtle" early on in his soap career: "He's a very mature guy. And yet he lives on a sofa next to a turtle"

In a recent episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark', Kelly Ripa discussed her perspective on job stability as a performer, particularly in light of Gen Z's interest in traditional roles like accounting. She fondly remembered her time on 'All My Children', emphasizing her preference for the guaranteed work of soap operas over the unpredictability commonly feared by actors. Mark Consuelos joined in, reflecting on the anxiety of new actors and the insecure nature of soap opera roles, illustrating their shared understanding of the importance of job security in the entertainment industry.

While Ripa praised the "steadiness" of the gig and "the layout of [her] life" that it granted her, Consuelos pointed out that it takes some time to feel secure.

I slept on the couch the first year, because I didn't want to commit to getting an apartment," he shared.
