Summary
- Actor Marco Consuelos' character Tripp Hauser swallowed by whale
- Consuelos' mother distressed over her son's whale encounter
- Tripp Hauser to send civilians, including Athena Grant, on risky space mission
On October 16, 2025, the second part of the season 9 premiere of the TV series 9-1-1 aired, featuring a dramatic storyline involving actor Marco Consuelos' character, billionaire Tripp Hauser. In the previous episode, Tripp was swallowed by a whale while kayaking, only to be rescued by the Station 118 team.
Consuelos, who co-hosts the talk show Live! with Kelly and Mark, revealed that his mother was not pleased to see her son get swallowed by a whale, even though it was just a fictional event. The actor, however, found the storyline intriguing and appreciated the writers' ability to execute such an "outlandish" scenario.
Now, in the second part of the premiere, Tripp Hauser is preparing to send a crew of civilians, including Angela Bassett's character Athena Grant and Aisha Hinds' character Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, on a risky space mission. Consuelos teases that "anything that could go wrong goes wrong in a monumental way" as Tripp decides to proceed with the launch despite the risks.
