Margo throws Katie and Brad an engagement party next week on "As the World Turns," which leads to a series of events that could wreck the wedding.
"Mike shows up at the engagement party," says Austin Peck, who plays Brad.
Mike is Katie's ex-husband, who just came back to town. But Mike is now being played by a new actor (Jon Prescott), so viewers can be forgiven if they don't feel the full impact of his return when he crashes the party.
"Brad is totally cool when Mike shows up," says Peck. "He's like, 'Big deal.' But Henry fills his mind with all this doubt and that makes Brad want to rush the wedding."
Brad starts planning the ceremony and asks Henry to be his best man. When Katie starts spending time with the newly returned Mike, Brad presses her to do so. But Katie also wants Henry to be her "male of honor," so Jack steps up and tells Katie he'll be Brad's best man.%A0Meanwhile, Brad asks Mike to be his best man to prove to Katie that he's not threatened by her ex.
"Mike says 'Okay,' I'm sure out of curiosity and wanting to watch the train wreck," says Peck. "But Katie also asks Jack to do it. So all of a sudden, both of them show up as best men. It's just so silly."
Especially when you stop to consider that Katie has been married to all of the people now in the wedding party.
"The ceremony is hysterical," says Peck. "We were allowed to play the irony, so we're on the same page with the audience. 'Okay, let's see how this is gonna work out!' We're allowed to look at the situation for what it really is and play that, instead of pretending like this is a completely normal thing."
Because there's nothing normal about it.
"Everything happens very fast," says Peck. "I have to take my hat off to the writers because there are moments that are drawn out, like the relationship and the building of the love and the trust between Brad and Katie, and then there are moments that come boom-boom-boom fast."
Like the constant bickering between the bride and groom right up to the wedding, which will all be televised live on their TV station, WOAK.
"Brad's like, 'Do you know how frustrating you are? I want you to admit you love me as much as I love you.'"
Which hopefully will happen before they say their "I do's."
"What happens at the end of the wedding," says Peck, "is wonderfully surprising."
