Emily asks the much younger Casey to marry her today on "As the World Turns," setting off a chain of events that lands her in the hospital.
"Emily hears this squinkling of a girl say, ‘Is that your girlfriend? She's a cougar!'" says Kelley Menighan Hensley, who plays the not-so-blushing bride. "I think that has something to do with it. Emily just gets the urge to have Casey all to herself and take the plunge."
He says yes, and they head for the airport.
"Apparently, you can do this in St. Louis without a waiting period," says Hensley). "So they jump on a plane and go get married."
There's more to this than meets the eye, because Rick Decker has drugged Emily.
"They end up at a hotel, of course, and consummate the marriage many times," says Hensley. "Emily comes out of her stupor after the fact, when he refers to her as ‘Mrs. Casey Hughes.' She's like, ‘What did you just say?' Then she sees the ring on her finger and loses it. She immediately says it has to be annulled."
No way, says the groom.
"He had all of his faculties when he agreed to marry her, but it's like she had a blackout. The fact that she's saying ‘I was not in my right mind when I made this decision' is hurtful to him. He doesn't understand it. They have a very long, silent flight back." Once home, "she struggles with the fact that, yes, she does love him. But does she want to be married to him, or anybody else for that matter? No."
While Emily struggles with her marriage next week, Casey's mom, Margo, gets wind of it and heads over to blast her. But she finds Emily collapsed on the floor and has to rush her to Memorial, leading to a Rick Decker-led hostage situation in the coming weeks.
And then ... "Grayson's coming back!' says Hensley, referring to pal and former co-star Grayson McCouch, who played Emily's love Dusty Donovan.
"I shouldn't say this, because Billy [Magnussen, who plays Casey] is like, ‘Thanks a lot!' but Grayson's my guy. We have such unfinished business on this show."
He'll return Sept. 24.

SOW
Shake-Up At World Turns
Jon Prescott, who joined ATWT in April as the third actor to play Mike Kasnoff, is out. "I have been privileged to be a part of ATWT," said the actor on his web site. Look for Prescott to last air in October. Meanwhile, Steve and Betsy's little girl comes home on Aug.15, with newcomer Deidre Skiles stepping into the role of Dani Andropoulos. As previously reported, two other familiar faces are also back: Anthony Hererra's James Stenbeck reappears on Aug. 27, and Grayson McCouch (Dusty) is back on Sept.24. Elsewhere, Michael E. Rodgers (Neal) is back as Carly's admirer on Aug. 13 and 14. And Zach Conroy joins the show on Aug. 15 as Leo, an intern enlisted by Katie and Brad to woo Liberty.
A Closer Look: Rick
Rick is revealed as the person behind Oakdale's rash of poisonings this week, and he goes on a rampage. John James dishes Dr. Death's dastardly deeds.
Weekly: Why did Rick poison everybody?
James...Rick came back and he wanted people to accept that he had changed. He said, "I'm a different man; I'm doing this for the state now." But everybody was incredibly rude to him. That angered Rick.
Weekly: So he ends up in the hospital making an antidote, but escapes. What are those scenes like?
James...Rick is handcuffed, and has a 6'8" bodyguard. I had to open a vial, fill the syringe, inject it into the bodyguard's neck, lay him down, and pick his pocket -- all with my hands cuffed -- then unlock the handcuffs and drag him. Then Susan walks in. That was one of the toughest scenes I had to do, because it was difficult from a mechanical point of view.
Weekly: Then he tries to kiss Susan and injects her too.
James...I enjoy working with Marie (Masters), She's great. Rick is so funny, odd and brilliant. It's a lot of fun for me, and I think that translates on camera.
Weekly: One thing leads to another, and Rick ends up holding everybody hostage.
James...It's pretty intense. I thought maybe it was too intense, but Chris (Goutman, EP) said, 'No, that's good. That's very good." Everybody's in one hospital room, they're all on the floor, the bed, etc. Margo and Rick have a standoff.
Weekly: Then Aaron sneaks into the hospital, trying to play hero.
James...And Rick shoots him! So you have Aaron and Alison on the floor, Meg's on the floor, Tom's having a heart attack, Casey and Emily are in the bed, Paul and Chris are outside, and Margo has a gun on Rick. It's a handful.
Weekly: Especially when he grabs Alison at gunpoint and tries to make his exit via helicopter.
James...He almost gets away with it. They did have a heliport at the hospital (where we filmed), but it wasn't available and we needed special clearance, so we landed the helicopter in the parking lot (instead of on the roof). But there's still a great threat there to Alison. The most fun I had was on location, running through the abandoned hospital hallways with Alison. It looked great. It looked real, like something you'd see on the news. It's going to be fun to watch. I hope that the viewers enjoy Rick as much as I enjoy playing him.
Weekly: Do we know what happens to Rick?
James...No. It's left open. The way I thought about it is this: You know how in the movies, in the fourth act they finally kill the monster and everybody breathes a sigh of relief? Then he suddenly wakes up again and the movie goes on for 10 more minutes? Like in Alien? That's a possibility.
Weekly: Fans are already theorizing that Rick is in cahoots with another returning villain, James Stenbeck. Or that they may have a showdown coming up.
James...All I can tell you is that I don't think this is the end of Rick.
Bet you didn't know: Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara, ATWT)
*A dancer since the age of 3, she was part of a jazz company in Chicago for four years.
