Magazine Comments About Mike and Carrie
These are some old comments that the producers and actors of Days of Our Lives have
said about Mike and Carrie in soap magazines.
- Tom Langan (February 23, 1999): "One thing will lead to another and there
will be many twists and turns along the way. Will Carrie and Mike ever sleep together?
Will Austin find out and break them up? Will Sami and Austin have a future? Will Sami
ever get free? These are all possibilities. There will be big payoffs to these stories."
- Roark Critchlow: "For Mike, at least he knows he's not insane and she does love
him. The magnitude of her saying that is huge."
- Christie Clark: "Her marriage is pretty much over. Her husband deserted her,
and if he gets caught, he's going to jail, so it's over then. But she realizes that
she loves Austin, too, and she's very confused. Mike's her best friend, he's always
there for her and at this point in time, she would like to be with him. That's her fantasy."
- Austin Peck on seeing Carrie with Mike: "He's angry and hurt...It's not necessarily
the fact that she's fooling around with another man: it's that Austin knows the man."
- Roark Critchlow on the Green Mountain Lodge storyline: "Mike has been throwing
his heart out and it has been stomped on by her...She finally says, 'Everything I
thought about Austin, you just did. Everything I need from Austin, for him to come
up here and be with me and understand me and know that I'm here, you just did it.
I've been a fool, and I finally realized how much you mean to me.'"
- Tom Langan (February 2, 1999): "As far as Carrie is concerned, he (Austin)
has put his whole future on the line for Sami. The only thing she can think
about is that Sami is more important than her. Throughout everything, Mike
has been there for her. She will realize he sacrificed everything for her.
There will be major sparks for Carrie and Mike, and where there are sparks,
there could be fire. Will Austin see those sparks, even from a distance?"
- Tom Langan (January 12, 1999): "If we look
at this story like a mature love story and you get to a point where you live
the characters and you know the point of frustration, the dam has to burst...It
was just natural at this point in the story. It didn't have to come out of an
elevator crash or the house burning down with her inside; it came out of a real
emotional place."
- Christie Clark on Carrie's situation: "She
loves Mike back, but she can't really say anything. It's a very confusing time
for her now. She's married, and she wanted to tell him that she loves him, too,
but you can't do that when you're married."
- Tom Langan: "This is basically the beginning
of an affair. They've kissed twice, she's broken her vows and she should have
gone to Austin the first time she kissed Mike and told him. That's what a
relationship is about: honesty and communication. This is going to be potentially
disastrous for all three people."
- "...Mike has given her (Carrie) an exposure to life that Austin didn't.
Mike will continue to do that, which gives her a different perspective and
maturity that Austin doesn't have, nor should he at his age."
- "Mike has a more stable background and their families are long-time friends,
which I think is really important. Besides, Austin promised her a lot and he
hasn't come through. Mike's there for her all the time. And he's nice, he's
a doctor and he's also very attractive."
- Executive Producer, Tom Langan said in August 1997: "We wouldn't build
something like this without a future...You have to pay it off."
- Austin Peck says, "Who wouldn't be upset seeing his wife hugging another
man all the time?"
- Christie Clarks has this to say, "Carrie loves Austin, although Austin is
like a lust thing...But she also knows that she likes to spend time with Mike.
He's smart, he's funny, and Carrie's never been friends with anyone like him.
Mike is like the best friend you suddenly realize you're in love with."
- It's like two heroes finally connecting. It's a real dilemma. Carrie and
Mike are both morally fine people, and neither of them wants Carrie to betray
her marital vows. What's interesting about the dynamic between Carrie and Mike
is that this is a growing relationship without the element of romance.
- Carrie and Austin discover aspects of themselves without the other person
being around. Sometimes that can break up a relationship.
- Christie Clark says, "Carrie was just a teenager when she fell in love
with Austin. Now Mike has turned her into a woman with different needs."
- "Mike is older and has always been a family friend, someone Carrie can
talk to about anything and get good advice. With Austin, it's all about sex."
- "She's ready to start her married life with Austin now, but when she's
with Mike, he brings something out in her that Austin cannot. It's a different
passion for life."
