It's been a relaxing weekend for Kelly Ripa and her family members, and probably will continue to be for the long weekend, as the group spend some time together in Greece.

The vacation comes after what could be seen as an end of an era for Kelly's husband and Live co-anchor Mark Consuelos, though.

This past week marked a comeback for the actor, 52, as he made his long-awaited return to the CW show Riverdale with a guest appearance as the antagonist Hiram Lodge.

Ever since the show moved back through the years for a new timeline in their seventh season, Mark has been absent from the main cast.

This return, which came in the June 28 episode titled 'Chapter One Thirty: The Crucible,' likely marks Hiram and therefore Mark's final turn as the small town's undercover crime lord.

He even makes a nod to his off-screen wife Kelly in the episode, admitting to his daughter Veronica (played by Camila Mendes) that he had cheated on his wife with a blonde woman named Kelly.

Kelly and Mark's son Michael, 26, who is a budding actor and writer, has also made frequent appearances on the show, playing a younger version of Hiram.

The CW series is ending after a seven season run

The show recently wrapped filming in Vancouver for its seventh and final season, with the series finale set to air on August 23. There's no word yet on whether Mark will return for the finale, however.

Meanwhile, the Live with Kelly and Mark co-hosts have been enjoying some downtime in the Greek sun, on vacation with their daughter Lola, 22.

Kelly, 52, shared a video capturing some of the memories they'd made on their trip, their first with Lola since her graduation from New York University in May and likely a belated birthday trip (she celebrated her 22nd birthday on June 16).

Their sons, Michael and 20-year-old Joaquin, are keeping busy as well, with Joaquin soon entering into his third year as a student at the University of Michigan, while Michael is working on independent projects in New York, including as a production member on the upcoming Real Housewives of New York.

Close family friend David Muir, who was enjoying his own time in the waters of Greece recently, adoringly commented on their holiday compilation: "Greek god and goddesses."
