ATWT: Your thoughts on the Montgomery/Peretti family


Recommended Posts

I really like Maggie too, from what I've seen of her. She reminds me a lot of Margo yet also of Lyla and she has some good comic as well as dramatic talents. Why do you think they just forgot about her? I've never gotten that.

Eric was the Peter Reckell character right? For some reason I thought he was only with Dana Delaney. Later didn't Cricket marry some character named Jeff Ross? It was odd that they brought on Billy and never bothered to bring Cricket back, barely mentioned her. Billy was such a pointless character anyway, and probably would have been more suited as a love interest for one of the show's men, not Jen.

Yes, Eric was Peter Reckell, prehot...(I remember thinking he was goofy looking on the show, thought I find him hot now.) I think the poor Cricket actress just couldnt act...but they needed someone to convince the suits that they were going for the young demo, so they just kept her around. They had her involved with some guy who was mainly a comic foil, friend of Betsys (this is when computers were just starting to be used and he was a computer geek.) He lost his virginity to Cricket, who got knocked up by him, then they married and left town. They were a real C story on the show.

They brought Billy Ross back..lol, someone just reached into a hat of ATWT history and brought that name out.

I assume it was back in January when Katie was going to run off with Simon and Margo staged an intervention with Jack and Craig to keep her in town. To the best of my recollection, Katie has never mentioned knowing about Craig's latest stint in the OPD jail or her new nephew in town.

And I think the nerd Cricket ended up marrying was Ernie Ross. Back in the early '80's I believe Annie Stewart's husband's name was Jeff.

    • According to reports, dating to the original report by The Sun, Ben Mitchell was at the top of the list for Ben Wadley to return to the canvas and wanted to give Max Bowden a second chance at the role. Daily Mirror and Radio Times, among others, are further reporting on the return, so I suspect this brief return is going to test some waters. I'm probably in the minority, but I liked Bowden as Ben and hope to see him further excel in the role this time around.
    • Hmmm… are they ever better than the DVD rips we have in tha vault?

    • I don’t think they had to recast Charley. My impression at the time was that they didn’t feel Jo Anderson didn’t fit the perky/cute persona that they wanted/needed when Julianne Phillips left the show.
    • Can anyone suggest a good software program (for Mac) to backend rip? The episodes on ShoutTV seem far superior quality than YouTube. Thanks so much.  https://watch.shout-tv.com/series/3103
    • Thank you Paul! Recently, I have been reading the stories from 1965....the kidnapping of little Jessie by her real parents, the trial that was held, dr Noel and Brooke...and Meg.... 60 years now!!!! I have been searching the 1965 Thanksgiving episode that I think it exists in Youtube, without any luck....does anyone know if this episode exists or it is simple a trick of my mind...it must be so powerful see it!!! The other scene from 1965 is Steve and Audrey's wedding in February 1965!  I wish we can see these classic episodes in streaming one day ... Most of these actors must be dead, I hope we as fans don't die meanwhile we are waiting for this day!  
    • Episode 71: they formally introduce themselves by the pool (he didn’t know who she was in Ep.60)  Episode 136: first kiss
    • I am happy that Max (Branning) is back and that might get me back to watch the show again. I am happy that Bernie and Felix are leaving, because both are such boring characters to me. As for Ben being back.. I used to like him. But reading all that he's done in between me liking him and today makes me really dislike the character and I have no desire in seeing him unless he will be seen as a bad guy that he is on the show, which will not happen. 
    • Thanks @kalbir Looks like once the Corringtons left, Search struggled. National City Star-News, Volume 104, Number 18, 2 March 1986 Domini Blythe finds soap acting quite challenging By Nancy M. Reichardt English-born actress Domini Blythe Is a veteran of the finest classical theater companies In England, Canada and the United States, but her American television debut came only five short months ago when she accepted the role of Estelle Kendall on the NBC soap "Search for Tomorrow." Miss Blythe Joined the Royal Shakespeare Company In England when she was 18 years old. She did several films. Including "Tutankamun,” which was filmed In Egypt, then moved to Canada, where she eventually became a member of Canada’s Stratford Festival Company. Miss Blythe decided to seek work In the United States after she embarked upon an American teaching tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company. "After working between England and Canada for several years and expanding a lot of energy trying to keep a career going in both countries, it suddenly seemed to make much more sense to work li North America,” says Miss Blythe. "I landed a one-day role on 'Search for Tomorrow,”' she remembers “The feedback on that role was very good, and the producers said that they’d find a role for me, and the did with the role of Estelle. Asked why she agree to do a sopa opera role after her extensive credits I classical theater, she replied, "It seemed to me that this was the very best thing one could do upon coming here. Doing a soap provides a relatively stable Income with terrific exposure. "There's a challenge I playing a part that has no beginning and no end. It's so unlike anything else I’v ever done. I love the idea that a soap is a collaborative effort between you as an actor and the writer: which Is completely unlike performing the works of Shakespeare or any other  playwright who's dead." Miss Blythe describe Estelle as a “survivor'' an adds that she’s please that Estelle Is "a strong woman who can deal easily In a man’s world while she also has a very vulnerable side. "I like the fact that Estelle Is neither all good nor all bad like all hums beings,” Miss Blythe say "I find the Intricacies of the character interesting. Rather than dealing with murders, I'd prefer to deal with a corporate struggle. That’s something that can relate to more easily.

    • Desert Sun, Volume 43, Number 248, 23 May 1970 Soap Opera Queen A Real Homebody HOLLYWOOD (UP!)—Denise Alexander is unknown to nighttime-only television viewers but she is one of the queens of soap opera in her role of Susan Martin on the daily “Days of Our Lives’’ strip. The auburn haired beauty moved here from New York 12 years ago and into a Beverly Hills apartment she has furnished with antiques from a shop she opened and later closed. Her potpourri antique store was a modified success. Modified because Denise “tried to find good homes’’ for her merchandise. As a result many an ancient chair or table rests in her home, some with price tags still on them. A regular with “Days of Our Lives” for four years, Denise leaves her four-room diggings—bedroom, kitchen, dining room and living room—at 6: .10 a.m. every day for morning rehearsals at NBC. At noon the show is taped and by 1 p.m. the cast runs through the next day’s episode of the soap opera. “We can’t ad lib because the camera shots depend on word cues,” Denise says. “So we’ve learned to memorize our lines quickly.” Denise’s boy friend is actor David Hartman who stars in “The Bold Ones” for television. They are together almost every evening. Most often David takes Denise to dinner, and then perhaps a movie. Other evenings Denise broils steaks in her apartment for her “fella,” as she calls him. At the moment they haven’t any marriage plans. The actress prefers gourmet dishes and few chefs prepare veal cordon bleu better than she. Her swiss steak with wine sauce is also a treat which Hartman relishes. No Discotheques Their social life revolves around small dinner parties with friends and dancing at secluded, romantic places. They abhore discotheques. Weekends for the couple are devoted to tennis, sailing and restful days at the beach sunning and surfing. Then again, Hartman may stop by ,and the two will spend the day reading, with a little background music. Denise opened her door one day and an enormous white cat walked in, hopped onto a chair and staked a claim. She named the intruder “Cat." and he has been a member of her household ever since. Unlike the Sue Martin she portrays on the show, Denise is very much with it. Sue wears a conservative wardrobe. Denis prefers sophisticated, chic outfits from boutiques. She dislikes shopping but loves clothes. The problem is solved by periodic shopping sprees during which she purchases enough outfits to see her through for six months or more. When she feels out of style, back she goes to the smart shops.
