Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos return to their soap roots in new Audible drama 'Summer Breeze'
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are stepping back into the world that launched their careers, this time with a modern twist and a family connection.
The couple, who rose to fame on "All My Children," are starring together in a new scripted podcast titled "Summer Breeze," now available on Audible.
The 10-episode audio drama brings classic soap opera intrigue to the podcast format, blending high-stakes storytelling with a nostalgic nod to the 1990s daytime TV scene.
It’s also a family production: joining Ripa and Consuelos in the voice cast is their real-life son, Michael Consuelos, marking a rare on-mic collaboration between the three.
According to the official synopsis, the show is set in the fictional world of a long-running soap opera. "Summer Breeze"- follows a struggling screenwriter (voiced by "The Good Fight’s" Sarah Steele) who lands her big break when her script is picked up by a powerful producer, Gordon Ready (Consuelos).
As she realizes the true nature of her new boss, she turns to a former soap star, Carolyn Harris (Ripa), for help.
Together, the two women hatch a revenge plot through the soap opera itself, setting off a chain of events that blur the boundaries between fiction and reality.
In addition to the Ripa-Consuelos family, the cast includes Zack Gilford ("Friday Night Lights"), Talia Balsam, Adriane Lenox, Grey Henson and Ally Sheedy.
"Summer Breeze" is streaming now on Audible.
