Craig Montgomery was a kindhearted young lad who always had bad luck when it came to women. However, he went about love the wrong way, which only hurt him. It started when he fell in love with Betsy Stewart. They both attended Oakdale University and met frequently. Unfortunately, Betsy had feelings for Steve Andropolous. Craig didn't stand a chance with Betsy as long as Steve was around. His first mistake in love happened when he tried to get Steve out of the picture by attempting to kill him. Craig set up Steve's truck to explode when Steve got near it, but the plan was ruined when Betsy happened to show up instead. Without thinking of endangering his own life, Craig quickly rushed to save Betsy. Craig stopped her from getting hurt, but he was injured and suffered impotence and sterility.
Craig was determined to get Steve out of their lives, but it never happened. He tried everything from setting Steve up to get caught with stolen coins to faking a fall and being paralyzed so that Betsy would stay with him and take care of him. After several showdowns with Steve, Betsy eventually left Craig for Steve. After a few words from his mother, Lyla, on his behavior, Craig finally realized the mistake that he made. When he fell in love, he lost his mind.
Craig later met and married Sierra Estaban Reyes while working for Lucinda Walsh. Lucinda hired him to sneak into another country and rescue her. Her father had been killed and Lucinda was afraid that she would be next. Craig's rescue didn't take too long when the first person he approached was Sierra, dressed as a boy. After dodging bullets, the two made it back to the United States. They fell in love after a while, but it all fell apart when Sierra learned that Lucinda was her biological mother. She also found out that Craig knew about the secret and didn't tell her. A revengeful Sierra married Tonio Reyes. They were very unhappy, and Sierra quickly realized that she had made a horrible mistake. She was secretly seeing Craig to confide in, and when Tonio found out about it, he threatened to hurt Craig if she didn't stop. When Sierra went over to tell Craig that she could no longer see him, the two were caught up in the moment and they made love. Sierra soon found that she was pregnant. She and Tonio had broken apart and eventually Craig and Sierra found each other again. Craig soon learned that Sierra's little boy was his and they married. Later on, they had a daughter, Lucy. They were married for a long time, but Craig couldn't stay tied down and moved on. He was going to go around the world. Bryant had come to Oakdale, and the relationship that Craig had with his son was very rocky. Craig found himself financially unstable and stole his son's trust fund. This caused tension between Craig and his son. Tragically, Bryant was killed in a terrible car crash.
Craig found himself falling in love with Carly Tenney Snyder, who designed a great clothing line. Unfortunately, she was in love with another man. Once Craig did win her over, she was kidnapped and sent overseas in a coffin. Craig vowed to find her and when he did, she was given injections that aged her. When Craig couldn't bare to look at Carly, he fell in love with her half-sister, Rosanna. Rosanna and Craig wanted a child but Rosanna could not carry a child, so they had to adopt. They found an unwed mother, Gwen Norbeck, who was going to put her child up for adoption. They won her trust and she agreed to turn her baby over to them. Craig had a one-night stand with Jennifer Munson. She got pregnant with Craig's child, but vowed that Craig would not have any rights to the baby. Gwen's baby, and Jennifer's baby, was born the same night. Craig switched the babies and told Jennifer that her baby had died, but actually, it was Gwen's baby that had died. Craig thought if he could switch the babies and let Jen think that her baby had died, they would adopt Gwen's baby, which would actually be his own son. In order to make his plan successful, he had to stop Rosanna from going to the hospital. On her way to see the baby, Craig ran her off the road, which caused her to go into a coma.
After all the heartache that Craig has endured over the years, he now leads a lonely life, and even his daughter, Lucy has turned against him. He realizes that if he wants anything in life, he will have to get it himself, no matter what the cost.
Craig returned to Oakdale determined to get custody of Johnny, his son by Jennifer. Unwilling to let that happen, Lucy left town with Johnny and didn't tell anyone where she was going.
Craig soon turned his attentions to getting Worldwide back; he convinced Meg Snyder to marry him. She and Paul Ryan, who she was dating, agreed to the plan because they wanted to double cross him. It didn't work. Once Craig had married Meg, he whisked her off to Canada for a honeymoon. Paul followed and fought with Craig; he fell off a cliff and was presumed dead.
Meg remained married to Craig because he promised to keep searching for Paul. Soon Meg began to fall for Craig but then Paul returned to town - with newly awakened Rosanna in tow! Rosanna saw what Craig was doing and, because she wanted Paul, she entered into an agreement with Craig to keep them separated. Meg soon learned she was pregnant; Rosanna changed the paternity test results so that Craig was shown to be the father. She enlisted Eli's help to do it. When he suddenly left town, Meg became suspicious and had another test done. This time it was determined that Paul was the father. He and Craig fought and Meg was hit; she lost the baby. Meg left Craig and, unable to take the stress of losing Paul, Rosanna went back into the coma.
Determined not to lose, Craig set a car bomb in Paul's car and then left town.

Craig tracks Carly down in a bar in South Carolina. She's just been drinking seltzers and orders him to leave. He tells her that he's taking her home to her children. She refuses to let Jack deal with his demons on his own. Craig still refuses to leave without her.
Craig takes Carly to her motel room. They begin trading barbs and he insists that he and Rosanna trust each other. She says her sister never learns from her mistakes. Craig admits that they wouldn't be able to live with themselves if Carly relapsed and ended up in the gutter. She taunts him to call Rosanna and tell her that they are in a motel together. He owes up to letting her down and claims he doesn't want to abandon her again. She insists that she has turned her life around and asks him to leave her alone. Before he does, he finds a vodka bottle in the trash. She claims she dumped the booze out and called her sponsor. She knows that she'll never be out of the woods. They share chocolate and he asks her why she's chasing Jack. She says it's because she's scared to see him unravel like this. When she tells him that Jack is looking for Simon, he's not pleased. "Jack is lost," she says. She owes him and has to bring him home. "Jack's off on an emotional bender," Craig summarizes. He's glad that when they screw up, they don't lose their identities.
Craig returns to Oakdale with flowers for Rosanna. He apologizes for not being more considerate and tells her he'll get the hang of being honest. She nervously asks him to marry her. He flashes back to Carly's hand and then tells Rosanna that they should get married.
At home, Carly calls Ben to get Mike's address. Rosanna arrives. She brought muffins as a peace offering. "Wouldn't a basket of tarts be more appropriate?" Carly jokes, bitterly. Rosanna says that Craig explained they made some progress yesterday. "Is that what he called it?" Carly asks. Rosanna tries to explain herself, how she had no choice and all of this has taken her by surprise. "Why is it so predictable somehow?" Carly asks. Craig arrives and tells Rosanna that she doesn't need to beg anyone for forgiveness. Carly taunts him and baits him. Craig refuses to apologize for being in love and won't leave Rosanna alone with her sister. He says that they all need to finish with the 'sexual torture' and move on with their lives. Once Craig and Rosanna leave, Carly calls Parker and tells him that she is going to bring his father home. She takes out her compass and stares.
Craig and Rosanna go back to his place. He's sorry but doesn't want to apologize anymore. He points out that her sister isn't doing anything to make the situation better. "Is it all the 'sexual torture' that's making the situation so intolerable?" she asks. He tells her that Carly is manipulating her. "I love you and I'm proud of us and humbled by the idea that you can love me back," he explains. He's sure her sister will be fine and tells her that he is only worried about her. They kiss. As they make out on the sofa, he suddenly gets a flash of Carly.
