CRAIG MONTGOMERY'S HISTORY

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.

Friday, November 06 2009: Bring me Back From The Dead.

Carly confronts Craig and Rosanna. "All I gave up in rehab was my vodka habit, not my brain or my temper!" she shouts. Rosanna apologizes. Her sister accuses her of trying to get revenge over what happened with Mike. "You're the one who plays nice girl and then stabs someone in the back," Rosanna points out. Carly demands to know when the affair started. Rosanna says they didn't even realize how they felt until it was too late. Carly tears into Craig but he tries to stop her from 'cheapening' this by saying that he and Rosanna are in love. Carly takes this to mean that he never actually loved her. As she storms out, they stop her and point out that she wouldn't even let them communicate with her for months so they assumed she was re-thinking everything. She thinks that if they cared, they would have waited. Craig tells her that she can hate him but shouldn't blame Rosanna or anyone else. Things get even worse when they tell her that Jack has known for weeks. She refuses to believe that and storms off. Rosanna cries and Craig tells her they knew this was going to happen. She feels like he's treating her like a replacement for her sister. She's lost him a couple of times, why should it be different this time? Craig explains that he fell for her years ago and never got over her and he never will.

Craig and Rosanna go to Carly's. She insists on going in alone. He says he'll wait outside for her. When she goes in, Carly is throwing all of Rosanna's clothes by the door. "You wanted my man. You slept with him. You took him. Get the hell out of my house," she orders. Rosanna walks out with an armful of clothes. She tells Craig that she's been thrown out. He thinks that might be for the best. She worries that she's lost her sister. He tries going in but Carly throws clothes at him too. After he walks out, Ben calls Carly and tells her that he ran into Jack in Philadelphia and he seems to be in trouble.

Thursday, November 05 2009: Mystery Man.

At home, Carly calls for Rosanna but she's not around. She calls her on the phone. Rosanna is in bed with Craig."You are so snagged. When you get back here, I want to hear every dirty detail," Carly says to her sister. After she hangs up, Rosanna starts to freak out and tells Craig that Carly knows and they need to come clean today. He refuses. He thinks that they have to make sure Carly has supports in place before they do that. Craig tells her how much he loves her and they kiss.

When Rosanna gets to Carly's, her sister begins quizzing her about her 'mystery man'. As she waves around the negligee she found, Rosanna claims she got that for her. "Craig will like it," Carly says. Rosanna is uncomfortable. Carly says they can never have secrets again and then gushes about how happy she is to see that Rosanna is getting along with Craig now. She wonders what's wrong with Craig and talks about how hard she tried to get him into bed without luck. As soon as Carly steps out, Rosanna calls Craig and asks him how he can lie to people the way he does. She can't do it anymore. He offers to tell her by himself. Carly comes back in and her sister hands her the phone. Craig asks Carly to meet him alone.

Carly shows up at Craig's door in a raincoat. She takes it off to reveal the negligee. He wants to talk but she has other things on her mind. He puts the coat back on her and tries to explain. They're interrupted by Rosanna. She walks in, saying that she didn't want him to handle this alone. Craig makes an excuse and ushers her out. "What the hell was that?" Carly asks. Sitting her down, he explains that he and Rosanna were thrown together when she left. They have a long history and things 'shifted'. Carly cuts him off and says she knows what happened – he must have started to resent her. That's not it, he claims. When she asks him to tell the truth, he announces that he has to go and rushes her out the door. "I'm getting the feeling you don't want me anymore," she says. She kisses him and offers to show him how much she wants him. After she leaves, Rosanna comes back in and worries some more. Craig thinks they should just come out and tell her the truth. Carly suddenly bursts through the door and demands to know when they were planning to tell her they are sleeping together.
