Members Cheap21 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 I have some Meg questions. Isnt she Jack's cousin? Why wasnt she at his wedding to Katie? Do they not talk to each other? What is her relationship like with him and Brad bc I see she seems close with Holden. Does she have any friends? She doesnt seem to interact with anyone outside of Craig, Paul, Rosanna and occasionally Holden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yes, she's Jack's cousin. She wasn't at the wedding because she was visiting Iva, where Emma was, to help care for Emma after she hurt her leg. Meg and Jack talk...last summer she was about the ONLY person encouraging him to admit to Carly he didn't want the divorce. I can't recall a Meg/Brad scene where they said anything other than a quick hello. Most of Oakdale doesn't have "a friend" or anyone to talk to outside of their story bubble. Katie has Henry and V, Carly occassionally has Lily and Ro. Jack has Margo, and occassionally Holden. Meg doesn't really have any "confidante" on the show.

Members stenbeck212 Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 The only possible link between the Meg of yesterday and Meg 2.0 is her rocky relationship with Tonio: "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Limenade Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 This is what I remembered of Jennifer Ashe's portrayal of Meg, which evolved through several phases. Meg was initially a part of the quad that also included Dusty/Lily/Holden. Ashe was extremely effective playing a schemer trying to break up Lily and Dusty, in the same tradition of such soap schemers like Bobbie Spencer (GH) and Nola Reardon (GL), also created by Marland. But things took an unexpected turn when Lily was over-exposed by Marland and the ingenue character suffered a slight backlash. I remember reading a SOD interview of Ashe at the time, who said that initially she got tons of hate-letters telling her to stay away from Dusty. But as viewers became bored with the pampered Lily, Ashe began receiving letters that were more positive in tone, wanting Meg to go after Dusty. When Meg got involved with Tonio, the character truly blossomed and Ashe was able to show other facets of Meg's personality in the loveless marriage. I don't remember the exact circumstances under which Meg began her affair with Josh, but I do remember feeling surprised by this unexpected turn of events. I also remember that SOD at the time (edited by Meredith Berlin, nee Brown) gave ATWT lots kudos for this bold move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RuAsRuAnAu Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 The actress who portrays Meg Snyder Montgomery is not being given juicy material. She can pull it off with good, consistent writing. Until that happens, the question "What happened to Meg?" will always be asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
