In 2003, she ventured into primetime, starring in the half-hour sitcom, Hope & Faith as "Faith Ford." The series ran for three seasons on ABC. Prior to this, Ripa concluded her 12-year tenure as "Hayley Vaughan," the role which launched her career, on ABC’s beloved daytime drama, All My Children. For her performance on the successful show, Ripa won three Soap Opera Digest Awards, two for Outstanding Younger Lead Actress and one for Hottest Romance, which she shared with her real-life husband and co-star, actor Mark Consuelos. In addition, Ripa received three Daytime Emmy nominations, two for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and one for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series.
