INSIDER SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTIE CLARK AND PATRICK MULDOON (CARRIE AND AUSTIN) GIVE US THE SCOOP ON THEIR CHARACTER'S UPCOMING NUPTIALS, CARRIE LEARNING THE TRUTH, AND WHY CHRISTIE IS HAPPY TO HAVE PATRICK BACK.

Interviewer (I): Hey, Christie and Patrick. Good to see you!!

Christie Clark (CC): You too!

Patrick Muldoon (PM): Good to here.

I: Ok, let's start off with something that happened a while back. Patrick...how did your return come about and give me your reactions. Christie, you can give us your reaction too.

PM: Well, I was available and they called me. Tim (Lowery, EP/HW) and I talked and he felt it was right for the story and the direction of the character so the change was made. I watched Austin (peck, ex-Austin) and he was great. I felt bad he got released so I could return but it was the show's decision and I was a part of it. I talked to Austin and he understands.

CC: I am so happy to have Patrick. I loved Austin too but I understood why a change was made. The writers had a direction in mind and they felt this was right. I was ok with it and Austin handled it with class, just as I would think he would. We still talk. In a way, I am glad Patrick is here because it feels like things came full circle. We started the Austin and Carrie love story together and now so much of what we are doing now is building on that and trying to get them to a happy ending.

I: Speaking of happy endings, Carrie learned the truth about Evan on Friday. What happens now?

CC: Well, I can't say much but Carrie learns quite a bit more on Monday and there is a twist that really ups the ante. Let's just say things get worse before they get better.

I: Ok, I know you both have to get back to taping so one more question. The wedding begins this week. How was the filming of it and what can you tell us about this blessed event?

CC: I wouldn't call it blessed (laughs). Carrie is being tortured by guilt and she is just a mess. She is lying to Austin and the wedding is no slam dunk to go off without a hitch. There is alot going on and the fans need to expect the unexpected. The next two weeks are big.

PM: Yeah. Like Christie said, the next two weeks are huge. The wedding is just a part of it. Every week through the summer is huge. I don't think we should spoiler the fun (laughs).

I: Ah, you want to be good employees and keep your mouths shut. Ok...I understand. Well, thanks for taking a quick time out to share some thoughts with us. I am sure the fans look forward to the wedding. I know I do so we'll see around. Hope to talk with you both again soon.

CC: Thanks. Anytime!!

PM: Sure thing. Anytime, anyplace!!
