When Judy Blye Wilson<\/a> became the casting director for All My Children<\/a> in 1991, the long-running soap was on the verge of a new era that would soon include one of its most memorable real-life love stories. \u201cThat\u2019s when Kelly Ripa<\/a> came in (as Hayley Vaughan),\u201d Wilson recalls. \u201cAnd I can\u2019t really take credit for it because she was cast by Joan D\u2019Incecco<\/a> (the previous casting director) and by that group prior to my getting there. But I definitely had a lot to do with Mark Consuelos<\/a> (getting hired as Mateo Santos<\/a>) and that\u2019s an understatement.\u201d In 1994, the soap was seeking the perfect actor to play a love interest for Ripa<\/a>.<\/div>\n
