I think it's a bit much to say there was a rift in #RegisPhilbin and #KellyRipa's relationship. Regis wasn't going to have as close a friendship with Kelly as he did with Kathie Lee, much less the love he had for Joy. Regis and Kelly's dynamic worked for the show. That's all that should be expected of it. Anything more is bonus.

Some of the comments say #KellyRipa and #MarkConsuelos will only talk about themselves. That's how the show has worked from the beginning, since #RegisPhilbin. Regis occasionally hosted w/ his wife Joy. #KathieLeeGifford occasionally hosted w/ #FrankGifford. It works for the show.
