[edit] Fictional character history
An aspiring boxer, Austin came to town with his troubled sister Billie Reed and 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 & Austin were doing great, until Austin didn’t throw a fight and drew the ire of a lot of bad people. In retaliation, 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 her man.
Sami went so far as to drug and rape Austin, making him believe she was Carrie. Carrie & Austin managed to survive all the drama and plan their wedding. Sami of course ruined the day with the announcement that she was pregnant with Austin’s child (which was a total lie). Austin tried to do the right thing and actual made a go of it with Sami, before learning the truth. The baby’s father was actually Austin’s half-brother, Lucas Roberts.
In a convoluted scheme involving Will’s abduction, Sami was able to get Austin to marry her; however, it was eventually annulled and Austin reunited with Carrie. Their married bliss didn’t last long. The constant meddling of Sami, as well as the affair Carrie had with Mike Horton, caused the couple to break up and Carrie moved to Israel with Mike.
In 2002, Sami (temporarily) won Austin's heart and they were set to get married in Las Vegas. At the same time Austin was being unsuccessfully pursued by Nicole Walker. Just before the ceremony, Lucas showed up with proof that Sami had lied and schemed to win Austin. He left her at the altar and moved to New York.
In 2005, Austin returned to Salem for Sami and Lucas' wedding. The wedding didn't happen and Austin was there for Sami when no one else was. With no place to stay in Salem, Austin moved in with Sami. They formed a company along with Nicole called Austin Reed and Company or ARC. The company took over High Style and at that time, Austin learned Carrie was back in the United States. Furious with Austin for taking over her company, Carrie turned to Lucas. With the help of some manipulation and blackmail by Sami, the couple soon married and Austin went back to Sami. He proposed to Sami and the two planned their wedding. On the day of the wedding, Sami called the marriage off.
