(SOAP Q) HUNK of the WEEK-AUSTIN!

Hairy Austin is Back!

In July 1992 an aspiring (Hairy Chested) boxer named Austin Reed (Patrick Muldoon) came to Salem, and his troubled sister Billie Reed followed weeks later. He was instantly smitten with Carrie Brady. Carrie gave Billie a place to stay, which led to the two of them spending a lot of time together. Carrie and Austin were doing great until Sami arrived in town in December of that same year and Austin didn’t throw a fight, which drew the ire of a lot of bad people. Due to this, acid was thrown on Carrie’s face, scarring her. Carrie went through reconstructive surgery, while Austin dealt with the murder of his father, Curtis. Billie was the prime suspect. At the trial, both Billie and Austin learned that Kate Roberts was their biological mother – making Lucas Roberts their half-brother. Meanwhile, Carrie’s half-sister Sami Brady was obsessed with Austin and plotting any way she could to get him.


After Alan and Sami's relationship came to an end, and Carrie and Austin broke up, Sami went so far as to drug and rape Austin, making him believe she was Carrie in January 1995. The following morning, Austin was horrified to awaken and find Sami in his bed. Austin rejected Sami and she fled Salem. Carrie and Austin attempted to find Sami, traveling to Los Angeles, where they reunited. Carrie and Austin managed to survive all the drama and returned to Salem. Austin soon proposed and Carrie and Austin planned their wedding. Sami ruined their happiness by announcing that she was pregnant with Austin’s child, who was later named Will, in July 1995. Austin decided the right thing would be to marry Sami and try and make a go of it, even though his heart would always be with Carrie. On Austin and Sami's wedding day in September 1997, Carrie showed up at the ceremony and exposed Sami's lies. Austin called off the wedding at that moment and went to Carrie. Will's father was revealed to be Austin’s half-brother, Lucas Roberts.

In August 1996, Will was abducted by a neighbor of Sami's and whisked off to France. Sami was able to get Austin to marry her in order to bring Will home in September 1996. The marriage was annulled when it was revealed that Lucas Roberts, Austin's half-brother, was Will's biological father. Austin reunited with Carrie briefly. In December 1996, Sami was in a dangerous car accident on News Year's Eve. Austin, feeling horrible, decided to re-marry Sami for Will's sake. The wedding was set to take place in September 1997. However, the wedding ceremony was interrupted by Carrie, who exposed the truths that Lucas was Will's actual father and that Sami had been faking amnesia. Austin, heartbroken, left Sami at the altar and married Carrie that same day.




After saying their goodbyes to John, Kate, Marlena and Roman, Austin and Carrie took a plane and left Salem.

In June 2010, Carrie also briefly returned to town and told Sami that she and Austin where happy and trying to start a family.

On September 26, 2011, Austin and Carrie returned to Salem. It was revealed that Austin had become a Forensic Accountant after Mythic Communications had been forced to close down.

SMOOTH, isn't Austin!

Since then Austin was targeted by his God-Daughter, Abby and Carrie was flirting with Sami's current Hubby, Rafe. After, Austin caught them kissing, he got drunk and kissed Abby and passed out. Abby makes Austin think they slept together!  Later, Abby rigged it so Carrie will walk in on them embracing with Austin in a Towel (Smooth Chested). Carrie later heard Abby confess that nothing happened and slapped her! But, Carrie was still longing for Rafe.
