Is As the World Turns going to revisit the Carly/Craig romance?

Three's Company

By J Bernard Jones on December 11, 2008

Despite gloom and doom about the state of daytime in almost all of its aspects, fans have been treated to some good soap opera lately. The Young and the Restless is the Must See Soap right now. One Life to Live has regained it's glory and Guiding Light is steadily improving. Some of daytime's best actors are giving some of the performances of their lives. With that in mind, there are three performers new to their respective shows deserving of special mention who I think are doing a bang up job.

As the World Turns' Craig Montgomery (Jon Lindstrom) breezed back into Oakdale with lots of stories of being a changed man for his sister Margo (Ellen Dolan). Sure, he coerced his other sister Katie (Terri Columbino) into lying to get him off the hook for attempted murder, but he tried like hell to convince Dusty (Grayson McCouch) he is not the same Craig that fled Oakdale many months ago. This version of Craig seems different, after several attempts at recasting, but is he really different? Do you buy that Craig is trying to make amends with Dusty for the sake of Johnny and Jennifer?
