Ripa, Consuelos land CW comedy

Acting couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are developing a comedy project for the CW network loosely based on their real-life experiences in the soap opera world. The untitled comedy has received a script commitment from the network, which recently arose from the ashes of the defunct WB and UPN networks.

Ripa, who co-hosts the syndicated talk show Live With Regis and Kelly, and Consuelos met on ABC's daytime drama All My Children. Consuelos most recently recurred on Hope & Faith and costarred on Lifetime's 1-800-Missing.

They are not the first acting couple to turn their real-life experiences into a comedy for CW. All of Us, cocreated and executive-produced by Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, moves to CW in the fall after three seasons on the WB.
