Lacey Chabert Worked With Kelly Ripa In One Of Her Very First Acting Roles On ‘All My Children’: “I Was Like, I Want To Be Just Like You”

Kelly Ripa made a lasting impression on a young Lacey Chabert.

The Hallmark star joined Ripa and Mark Consuelos on Wednesday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, where she and Ripa took a brief stroll down memory lane.

“I started when I was seven years old,” Chabert recalled of her acting career. “Here in [New York] city.”

Ripa, a former actress on the soap opera All My Children, inquired if Chabert’s role on the show was her first job. Chabert, known for her role in Mean Girls, explained that it was among her early jobs. She fondly remembered a particular person from her time on the show which lasted for 10 episodes.

“But do you know what I remember from the show? You,” she told Ripa.

“You do?” Ripa replied, seemingly stunned.

Chabert shared, “Indeed. Susan Lucci was amazing and it was a delightful experience. However, I specifically recall you, and I found you incredibly impressive. I aspired to emulate you.”

Ripa teased, “And now that you’re an adult, you realize I was struggling and the goofiest weirdo ever.”

Nevertheless, Chabert, who portrayed Bianca Montgomery on All My Children for a 10-episode period from 1992 to 1993, emphasized that Ripa remains admirable, expressing, “To this day, you are the greatest. I still strive to be just like you.”

Consuelos, another former All My Children star, sweetly chimed in, “She was very, very, very cool.”

The two co-hosts, who met as co-stars on the soap opera, were reminded of the day they met when fellow All My Children alum Sarah Michelle Gellar made a visit to the show in December 2024.

“I guess I was in hair and make-up… and Kelly comes in, and this is the ’90s, so she had those huge velcro rollers that she used to wear in her hair,” Gellar remembered. “And she comes running in, no make-up, and she’s like, ‘Oh my God!’ And I’m like, ‘What happened?’ She’s like, ‘There is the most beautiful man in the rehearsal hall… I’m in love.”

Gellar noted that Ripa “couldn’t speak” after setting her sights on Consuelos.

“She literally saw you — and this girl never is at a loss for words,” she teased. “She was at a complete loss for words.”
