Get ready for a jaw-dropping adventure! Mark Consuelos, the charismatic actor from 'Riverdale', takes on a wild guest role in the hit show '9-1-1', and it's a whale of a tale! But wait, there's more...
'You had me at whale'
Mark Consuelos, known for his charm and wit, was instantly hooked when he heard about his character's fate in the show's three-part emergency opener. Playing Tripp Hauser, a tech billionaire with a unique predicament, Consuelos brings a refreshing twist to the series.
Imagine this: Tripp, kayaking casually, gets swallowed whole by a humpback whale! But it's not your typical whale tale. The 118 crew saves the day, and Tripp, grateful yet eccentric, sends Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) to space as a grand gesture.
"It's crazy! Even Riverdale couldn't top this!" Consuelos exclaimed. But he embraced the challenge, knowing it would be a thrilling ride, especially with a three-episode arc. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he couldn't wait to dive into the role.
The water rescue scenes were a blast to film, with Consuelos praising the professionalism of his co-stars. Despite the less-than-pristine harbor water, he braved the germs and floated with ease, thanks to a little help from Ryan Guzman, who played his rescuer.
Consuelos' wife, Kelly Ripa, had a hilarious request—to befriend Angela Bassett for a dinner date. While he didn't get to meet Bassett due to separate filming schedules, Ripa enjoyed her husband's wild debut, unlike his mother, who was petrified.
The cast and crew of '9-1-1' welcomed Consuelos with open arms, making him feel right at home. He admired their talent and hard work, especially given the show's bold and outlandish storylines over nine seasons.
And the fun doesn't stop there! Consuelos teases a massive cliffhanger in the upcoming episode, where Tripp's space adventure takes a turn for the worse. Will he survive? Will he face the consequences of his actions? You'll have to tune in to find out!
But here's where it gets controversial—Consuelos hints at a potential return as Tripp, despite the character's chaotic journey. Could we see Tripp in '9-1-1: Nashville'? The actor is game, leaving fans wondering how the writers could pull it off.
So, get ready for a thrilling ride with Mark Consuelos in '9-1-1'! New episodes air on ABC, with streaming available on Hulu the next day. Don't miss this wild adventure, and join the conversation—do you think Tripp deserves a second chance? Share your thoughts below!
