Members dragonflies Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 From TV Guide.com You can't keep a bad man down – but you can give him a handsome new puss. As the World Turns has cast former General Hospital fave Jon Lindstrom as Craig Montgomery, the arch-scoundrel who fled Oakdale last February after attempting murder. The actor's first airdate is Dec. 3. "Jon is a witty and immensely likable actor even when he's doing unspeakable things – as he did [playing twins Kevin and Ryan] on GH," says ATWT head writer Jean Passanante. "And that pretty much sums up Craig." The character will return to Oakdale "with a deep desire to reconnect with his family," adds the scribe, "though his first order of business is to get himself off the hook for trying to kill Paul [Roger Howarth]. It's a big problem, but Craig is up for the challenge." Though Craig, who first appeared in 1982, is one of the great villains in suds history, this marks the fourth recast in three years. Hunt Block was dropped from the role in 2005. His replacement Jeffrey Meeks was fired in 2007 and replaced by the original Craig, Scott Bryce, who in turn got the ax early this year. Look for an exclusive interview with Lindstrom in TV Guide magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Helena Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 It feels like they're trying to say that it wasn't the writing that was crappy when Scott Bryce played him, it was Scott Bryce that was crappy. And that's just not true. Scott Bryce was great regardless of the sub par story line. I'm not happy about a recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kandbar Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 Actually on PC Julie Pinson (Janet, ATWT, ex-Dr. Eve Lambert) was Jon's Lindstrom's lover when Kevin and Lucy broke up. But please refresh my memory... I don't remember Marie's character ever involved with Dr. Collins. I know Marie's character was Scott Baldwin's daughter, and she had a on-and-off relationship with Frank, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 More proof that when the ABC characters go to PV and wonder into the Martin Attic. There's a portal to CBS studios in there. Oh, and offhand I know you are missing Elisabeth Hendrickson (Chloe on Y&R) and Billy Miller (Billy on Y&R) they were both on All My Children at different times.

Members All My Shadows Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 So I guess we know who the next villain of the month will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidEvanSmith Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 It was somewhere in the last few months of Karen's run on PC before they killed her off. Kevin was on drugs or something and they bonded over addictions, I thought, and ended up getting a little heated. I was grossed out because I found Kevin in Scott's age range, and Karen was the next generation down, so I hated it completely. But it was brief, and she moved onto a triangle with Ricky/Frank before she was killed. Kevin then languished in a wheelchair while Lucy was with Ian until the series was canceled.

Members David_Vickers Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 Nice to hear that Jon Lindstrom is returning to soaps. But what the hell is ATWT and Christopher Goutman thinking by re-casting Craig again after firing the best and original Craig, the supertalented, underappreciated Scott Bryce earlier this year.

Members pinkflamingo44 Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 Jon is a great actor and I love the fact he is returning to daytime just not at this soap and not in this role. Scott had the abilitiy just like Jon to be able to protray a good and evil character, Scott did that in one character and yet was fired less then a year ago. Why recast Criag, when in the end ATWT won't write the character correctly. And maybe its just me but Jon seems to me too young to be playing Margo's big brother.
