Austin Reed’s character was initially created by Muldoon in 1992. Since then, the part has been shared between Muldoon and actor Austin Peck over the years. Muldoon portrayed Austin from 1992 to 1995, with Peck taking over from 1995 until 2002 and then again from 2005 to 2006. Later, Muldoon returned to play the role from 2011 to 2012, and he reprised it once more in the 2021 limited series Beyond Salem.

The fact that Austin wasn’t present at Carrie’s latest appearance in Salem has sparked curiosity among viewers. In an episode focusing on John Black’s memorial, Carrie (portrayed by Christie Clark) clarified that Austin was absent because they were attending their son Noah’s graduation. Their relationship had appeared to be under strain during Beyond Salem, leading some to wonder about the current state of their marriage.

Producers haven’t revealed when exactly Muldoon will come back, or specified the duration of his appearance. Nevertheless, fans are thrilled about it, with one Instagram user commenting “The genuine Austin is back!”, while others are anticipating Carrie’s potential return along with him.

This recent update has fueled additional discussions about the possibility of resurrecting old storylines. Fans are theorizing that Austin’s return might collide with characters such as Sami Brady, rekindling the romantic entanglements that used to dominate the series.

As of now, NBC has not released additional details regarding Austin’s arc.
