Happy Endings - Wednesdays 10:00PM ET/PT on ABC
Premieres Wednesday, April 13, 2010 at a special time of 9:30PM ET/PT

Forget who gets to keep the ring - when a couple splits, the real question is, who gets to keep the friends? Alex and Dave's wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, for them and their long-time friends... until Alex leaves groom-to-be Dave at the altar. The breakup, in the words of one pal, is a "huge game changer" that will complicate everyone's lives and make everyone question their own choices.

Until the unhappy event, perfect couple Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) and Dave (Zachary Knighton) were the glue that kept their social circle together: Alex's sister, Jane (Eliza Coupe), a suburban housewife, and her buttoned-up husband, Brad (Damon Wayans Jr.), who are trying to start a family but who are so shocked by what happened they can't maintain their pre-pregnancy no-meat, no alcohol cleanse; Max (Adam Pally), their gay friend; 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 Valentine's 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 the wedding.

They strike a truce, but it's 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? Suddenly every event is a negotiation. There are a lot of big questions to be answered, but these friends will eventually figure it out. Happy Endings offers a fresh and funny take on modern friendship and what one urban family will do to stay together.
