Hope & Faith

"Two sisters. One roof. No way."

Series Brief

Overview

Hope, a down-to-earth, happily married mother of three has her tidy world turned upside down when her celebrity sister moves in. Faith was living the Hollywood life as a soap opera star before her character was killed off.

Why fans love it

The tension in Hope & Faith relies on the collision of two opposing lifestyles under one roof. By pairing a grounded suburban mother with an out-of-work soap star, the series mines comedy from the friction between domestication and ego. The domestic routine of a household with three children provides a rigid backdrop for the unpredictable presence of a relative accustomed to the vanity of Hollywood.

Kelly Ripa anchors the dynamic as the displaced celebrity, portraying a character whose sudden loss of fame forces a messy transition into family life. The humor thrives on this sibling mismatch where practicality constantly squares off against dramatic flourishes. It captures the difficulty of readjusting to mundane reality after losing access to the spotlight.
