Agree, strongly agree. I didn't get into the show until season 3 and he was a big reason why. Was visiting my mother during a marathon for the season premiere and got into the show and after 2 episodes I said Rip was an awesome character and mom asked if I recognized him and I said no and she was like that's Cole Hauser. Blew me away I didn't even recognize him

The way Rip treats Beth with no ego and pure love is a great character study for all men. I sure learned a lot on how to react to my wife seeing him.

[@malcolmr3]

As hard and rough as Rip was he, more than anyone I’ve ever seen, truly knew what love was. His love for the Yellowstone (John) and for Beth was pure and unadulterated. He never asked for anything, but gave all he has and understands that by giving freely he is also receiving. Beth is so lucky to have someone with Rips quiet understanding to be so in love with her. He truly understands that loyalty comes from a place of love and not debt.

Yet she got knocked up by him at 16, went to 18 year old Jaime for help with an abortion, blames Jaime for it and now we’re supposed to feel sorry for her. Sorry. Rip is still the best character on the show, but Beth is the worst.

[@Judith-rr2yj]

[@Pfruit0916]

I think that look was more than an I love you. I think it was also weighted by the fact that she sees him having this touching moment with a little boy and knows she can’t give him a son. He lost his family and any chance of them ever having a biological family of their own one day was stolen by Jamie. Simply because she trusted her brother. She seems to hold a lot of guilt bc of it.

[@Bad_At_Parties]

This show is filled with amazing, fascinating, well-crafted characters top to bottom, but Rip has always been the standout to me. There's just something about him that never fails to captivate me. He does everything he can to protect the ranch and the Dutton family, even though he's not got any stake in the land or any blood of that family running through his veins. He never asks for anything in return for all his blood and sweat, never complains about what he has to do or what's done to him, nor does he take any of it for granted. He's just appreciative to have the only thing that has ever felt like an approximation of a home to him, because he never got to have that growing up. Where all the other Dutton kids disappointed, or clashed with John or went their own ways, Rip was always there when he was needed, every single time, and his loyalty never had to be questioned or verified. The scene depicting Rip receiving land on the ranch as John's letter is read to him never fails to make me emotional, as the moment even breaks the stoic tough guy himself. For all he's given, Rip is finally rewarded with what he deserves, not just with a tangible mark of his role within the Dutton family that the property signifies, but far more by the understated yet powerful way John fully accepts him as his own son. In many ways, this is also a sign that as time goes on and the battle for the ranch and the land intensifies from all sides, John realizes that everyone there is his family, whether they share the same blood or not, because they are all fighting for the same thing. And there's a beauty in that.

Rip is depicted as a pure, natural, alpha male. He's dangerous as hell but loyal as a hound. He's the only force of nature capable of taming Beth.

[@earlygray4456]

The sound mixing on the roof scene is amazing. Letting the song play while Rip makes his way to Beth, then slowly dropping the track to only the bass while they greet each other, then drop the track completely to allow Rip to open up to Beth and let her know how he dealt with his family trauma, only to resume the music slowly while the unspoken "I love you" lingers in the air. It really adds to the scene and the dialog.

[@NativeTexan77]

The scene with Beth on the roof, right before she was attacked, is my top favorite scene of Cole's. He is strong, vulnerable, caring, and volatile all at once. When he holds her face after the attack and tells her that he loves her brings me to tears every time. Rip is the heart of the show and he is every bit as important as any member of the Dutton family. ❤

[@glamsky3257]

He's way more important. John wouldn't survive without him.

[@davidnoffke1320]

Thinking back to movies like Pitch Black and 2 Fast 2 Furious... Cole Hauser has come a long way and he shines so god damn bright in this role as Rip Wheeler. Bad ass dude. I'd sure like to meet him someday. Kevin Costner... hell the whole cast of Yellowstone.

I love RIP's fierceness: in battle and in love

[@b.pur9981]

RIP reminds me a bit of Pope Cody from AK. He was loyal to a HUGE fault. Fierce as a copperhead snake, and emotional like RIP. However, I believe RIP is a lot smarter than Pope.

[@tanyahopper1883]

@Naf5561 me too! I love how loyal Rip is, but my favorite thing about him is that he is fierce and he is absolutely fearless!

[@mrhoffame]

The way he developed the Rip character is just BEYOND amazing. To create a character that you can hate, love, want to destroy, and want so support to every end is just beyond impressive. He can seem so selfish, yet he is also the guy who truly puts something bigger than himself as the driving force of his life. He seems so dam mean, but at the same time never really let's himself get in his own way to teaching lessons that he truly feels are for other people's good. Will give his life those he is dedicated to without hesitation. Really amazing!!

Hi how are you doing

[@w_419]

Coming from a fatherless home growing up I found the father figure and the example of the man I wish to be in my bestfriends father, we have been through a lot together and gotten close and inseparable with his family throughout the years and then one day I was filling out a job application and needed non related references to put down so later that night I asked him at dinner if it would be ok to put him down as one of those references. He just looked at me and said "of course, youre one of mine arent you?" I had to excuse myself because I was having a hard time holding it together so the letter scene when Rip realizes that John thinks of him as a son and calls him as such hits especially hard and true. In my opinion this is one of the greatest shows ever made.

[@marchhare9440]

I'm right there with you, that scene hit me much harder than I thought it would.

Every girl dreams of having a Rip in their life. I know I do ❤ Cole was born to play this role and boy does he do it so well ❤

[@carlorachel]

Ahh, SQ, what you say is beautiful, and timely. I was recently called "Rip" by someone who thinks how I'm living my life resembles Rip on this incredible show. I don't know what to do or say to a statement like that. I think it has to do with being true to oneself so you can be true to everyone else. It's not exactly a "popular" notion because it does lead to a lot of awkward moments. But also deeply reflective exchanges that flow over with love. I pray for you to find that Rip. He's out there. And, by the power of God, he is looking for you, too. Such unions are what put you on the road to Heaven. Stay well, sister.

I’ve always felt that Rip acted more like a son to John than any of his actual Sons. (Apart from Lee maybe but sadly we really don’t get to see him enough to see what his relationship with his father was really like) So seeing John actually acknowledge him as his son was such an awesome moment

[@luizcarlossoaresjr1436]

That scene when John reconizes him as one of his sons broke my hearth, i'm adopted myself and when i was younger and going throgh a rough patch my father sat down with me and told me the same thing, even remembering it makes me cry

Rip is 100% my favourite character from the show. Just love how he doesn't take shit from anyone and that John treats him like family

I love the moments Taylor Sheridan gives us. He tends to dwell to long on the stark realism of life like a Larry McMurtry novel, but it does have its place if you want to watch something visceral.

He certainly was larger than life on that scene. And I appreciated the realism when he got shot. You knew he felt it! But unlike most Hollywood, they didn't make him act like nothing was wrong, nor did he keel over like a poorly placed shot is lethal. He was a proper warrior in that scene.

I'd never seen this before now,, June 2024. This does the character of Rip Wheeler portrayed by Cole Hauser the justice it deserves. It's no wonder the character Rip did, has and will be as long as we who watched and liked, perhaps loved the story of Yellowstone brought to life on our television screens,, be one of our top three favorites. The scene of Rip, in the summer house that is NOW HIS,, built upon ground that is a part of the ranch called Yellowstone, crying was so powerful. He finally KNOWS without a shadow of any doubt,, he is a Dutton in spir it and that he is home. Wow,,, Thank you Taylor Sheridan, Thank you to whomever made this amazing story made for our viewing enjoyment almost a reality. Whatever it cost was not too much. "Yellowstone" is what millions of we fans the definition of GOOD TV.
