About Happy Endings
About the show
Forget who gets to keep the ring when a couple splits, the real
question is, who gets to keep the friends? Alex (Elisha Cuthbert,
24) and Dave's (Zachary Knighton, FlashForward)
wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, for
them and their loyal friends...until Alex leaves groom-to-be Dave
at the altar.
Until the unhappy event, perfect couple Alex and Dave were the
glue that kept their social circle together: Alex's sister, Jane
(Eliza Coupe, Scrubs), a suburban housewife, and her buttoned-up
husband, Brad (Damon Wayans, Jr), who are trying to start a family
but they're so shocked by what happened they can't maintain their
pre-pregnancy no-meat, no alcohol cleanse; Max (Adam Pally), their
gay friend, who fears the breakup will have an even more traumatic
effect on him than his parents divorce; and Penny (Casey Wilson),
who worries about never finding the right guy. After the wedding
fiasco, the group rallies around good guy Dave.
Alex returns, alone, and tries to explain why she broke up with
Dave. Bo, the guy Dave assumes she left him for, isn't the reason
for her running away. She'd been questioning her feelings for Dave
for some time (probably his romantic gift of $40 cash for
Valentines Day didn't help), but just couldn't bring herself to
hurt him. Dave points out that this is the sort of thing you
discuss before, not at the wedding.
They strike a truce, but its not going to be easy. Now that they've
split, does this group have the stuff to stay together? Or do Max,
Brad, Jane and Penny have to choose sides?
