I liked Scott Bryce's Craig back in the 80's and 90's but when he came back briefly in the mid 2000's it seems he was a bit out of character. Having him turn heal to a more protagonist villainous role just wasn't him.
@@Williamwestp24 Because the writers by that time were COMPLETELY out of touch with the heart and soul of the show. They made Craig a scoundrel like his early years, or ala the Hunt Block years but disregarded all the rich relationships he had created, especially with Lily and Lucinda. Just awful.
@@Williamwestp24 Hunt Block was OMG sex on a stick, The most Handsome was Jon Lindstrom. Scot was the best Acting! I vaguely remember the other guy think he was going to be there for maybe a year or 6 months or something I think he had dark hair?
Old School ATWT. Brings me back to my childhood. Douglas Marland's ATWT was the best era. Basically 1985 to 1993. ATWT storywise and characters were untouchable. Scott Bryce will always be Classic Craig. They should have had Hunt Block play Craig's cousin.
Besides Scott Bryce, Mr. Block's spin on Craig was a goodie and my second favorite --particularly during the yearlong burnt Barbara storyline. He was devious but funny at the same time.
Wendy The Author and Artist Scott was the definitive Craig. He created a character that was so layered and complex. Hunt Block was good at being a prick, but he was a one-note portrayal.
As The World Turns was such an amazing soap with wonderful characters like these set of actors and actresses!! You are so correct in that Doug Marland was an amazing writer. He passed away way to early in life.
He was wonderful when he wrote for The Guiding Light. Then he repeated it with As the World Turns. I think during his time at both shows when they were the best
That was one of the best segments ever. I swear Scott Bryce could always channel incredible vulnerability and then pivot to every emotion thinkable. He and Greg were strong yet sensitive and Hilary is masterful in touching every note from comedic to great sorrow. Damnit networks then folks need to be seen
Scott: "Plot was almost meaningless." YES. I could've watched those characters read a phone book-- as long as Doug Marland was the one who wrote the phone book! Thank you, Alan, for another wonderful reunion!
That was my favorite. Scott Bryce and Finn Carter were great and were the best couple on the show. I didn't like that things were standing in their way though to keep them together long enough.
The little details they added for the characters is what I loved. Lucinda always drank Perrier water. John was always eating something. Kim calling people "pal" or "toots". Those little things made ATWT different from any other show and what made it the best of them all. And I watched and recorded 6 soaps for quite a while.
What a wonderful show. This is when ATWT was on top. I love these 3 actors and so thankful that they're connecting with the fans in this way. They haven't changed a bit. My favorite Tom, Margo and Craig.
I starting watching ATWT in 1977, when I was 12. I didn't have a VCR until 1984. During school year, I would have to ask family and neighbors what happened every day. I watched until the last day. It was a constant I could count on, no matter what was happening in my life. I love seeing the actors again. I still miss my shows. Thank you so much for doing these reunions.
I started watching at age 12 as well in 1979 because my mom watched. Had to catch up on the stories over the summer and missed them dearly during the school year. Then when I had a VCR these wonderful actors were in my life Mon-Friday for years. The show was never the same after Doug Marland died but still good. The last few years the writing was terrible and I couldn’t watch anymore and not long after that the show ended. 😟
How can you not love them! These shows are so fun when the actors love to talk and share. I miss them so much. 😭❤❤ Thank you to all Alan for arranging and thank you to Hillary, Gregg and Scott. Magical time on daytime.
My favorite reunion. It was great seeing Gregg and Scott. I had seen Hillary on the OLTL reunion. The caring and love these three have for each other is heart warming. I loved all the stories. So much great talk and the reunion flowed very well.
Alan, this would have to be one of the best you've done, and you've had so many so far that have been great. What more can you ask than to have three friends who truly love and admire one another come together to share thoughts and memories? In fact, all you had to do was put the proverbial camera on them and let them talk, which they were more than willing to do. Everything flowed without a glitch ... thanks to Scott, Hillary and Gregg (Gregg - wonderful to see you again) for celebrating their time with ATWT. And thanks once again to Alan.
All the people who weren't fans of the show during this era probably can't appreciate just what a smart, sexy couple Gregg's Tom and HBS' Margo were and boy were they passionate, even when they were agonizing or frustrating to fans. And yes, count me in as one of those who believe that Scott's Craig was the best and THEE one. Yes, the writing was far better during Bryce's era but Scott brought so much complexity and emotion to the role and that was definitely his doing. This was a definitely my favorite reunion of all the ones I've watched. Hopefully more fans get a chance to watch/stream this gem. It looks great on Roku, y'all, lol.
This is great. I wrote to Gregg Marx when he was on the show and he graciously replied with signed photo and including one with his pet dog. Super nice guy!!!
Benjamin Henrikson was a good, but an brilliant actor even though his demons haunted him until the end & will truly be missed. Also, he won his Daytime Emmy Award as Hal Munson on ATWT in 2003!
Brother ! Thank you for this !! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏 they look great. I was a kid & had such an appreciation for the ATWT actors & stories. Seeing these fine actors means a lot to me. Gregg looks like he just walked off the 80s ATWT set. Hillary Bailey Smith is the ONLY Margo for me. Wish we could see John Wesley Shipp & Kathryn Hays. I loved the revised ATWT theme that was introduced in 1985. Again, THANK YOU for this. These really were the days. 😊
The Locher Room 🙌👏 Just discovered you. Since I saw this vid, I found your vid of Kathryn Hays, Don Hastings & Scott DeFreitas. They are special people, that was an emotional interview. As a kid I wished i was part of the Hughes family.
This was so fun! Loved ATWT started watching in 1987- the Lily, Holden and Dusty triangle and came to love most of the Oakdale residents. What a golden time for soaps- sadly this caliber of storytelling and acting got lost somewhere in the 2000’s.
This was really good! Brought back memories, I really enjoy these reunions! I'm still hoping you can get Lisa Brown or the Snyder clan and even Tom Wiggin who played Kirk Anderson, he was fun and he had great chemistry with Liz Hubbard (Lucinda). Thanks again Alan, you do an amazing job with these!
This was the best interview. This interview was a lot of fun. Gregg and Hillary will always be Tom and Margo. Scott will always be Craig. It would be great if you could reach out to alumni that made it in Hollywood. William Fichtner, Steven Weber, Marisa Tomei, Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, Jason Biggs, and the many others that started out in Oakdale.
Very nice to see & here their stories. Like seeing Hillary on General Hospital. Scott has a busy life. Congratulations to his son. Glad Greg is doing well with his "voice over" job. A pleasant interview.
Screw the five people who gave a thumbs down. Must’ve been some sour NBC soap fans. These three had the best chemistry. Marx and HBS were the definitive Tom & Margo. I liked Dolan and Holmes. They’re good actors, too. But D&H IMO were so serious. Hilary and Gregg had loads of chemistry, lots of humour, and were just plain fun. Don’t even get me started on how pissed I was over Scott being let go and replaced with Hunt Block. Just one thing, Alan. Tom & Margo weren’t the longest married couple. Don’t know where folks are getting this. ATWT’s Chris and Nancy were married (on air) for 30 years. Tom and Alice Horton in Days we’re married for 29 years. The couple that might actually be the longest was Joe and Ruth on All My Children who were married for 43 years. That’s just off the top of my crowded head. Thanks for doing these. They’re a blast.
Smile on my face from beginning to end of this. These 3 were the main players when I first started watching ATWT. Watching this makes me wish there was a way to go back and watch those old shows. There's definitely a market for it.
@@serialwriteher2467 It would be nice but I'm not sure they'd even care. I heard repeatedly that P&G saw no value in their remaining soaps...and they couldn't have been more wrong...I mean the audience for it's two shows are still there and missing the shows more than ever.
This episode really warms my heart I was always an ABC fan pretty much exclusively .I had just for whatever reason started to watch As the World Turns probably because I saw Scott Bryce and I thought oh my God he's Hillary had just joined the show I remembered Margaret Colin from the edge of night. In any case why this warms my heart is that they really seem to love each other like family behind the scenes and that's just really nice and by the way Hillary kicked ass as Nora Buchanan on One Life to Live and she's got the Emmy to prove it.
Love seeing them all again...Hillary Looks Great!!! she was Wonderful on ATWT, and so was Gregg and Scott, watching that show was my daily routine...and it really made me feel good, Preparing meals, and cleaning...as long as it was on, I would not keep my eye off it...except for all the Soap Commercials..!!!
As much as I loved the show you did with Martha Byrne and the fabulous Elizabeth Hubbard and the show with the queen Diva of daytime Susan Lucci who is my absolute favorite daytime actress this episode with Hillary B Smith ,Scott Bryce and Greg is by far your best locker room, even technically there were very little hiccups.
Uuuggghh I MISSED CRAIG!!!! He was my favorite!! I used to wish he was real & my uncle. (I was in high school!) I was sad/mad when the "new" Craigs appeared. Scott Bryce was the ONLY CRAIG.
Well I will be 70 in July and I remember watching the show way back when it was only 15 minutes long so I was really sad when it went off the air I used to watch with my grandmother
I LOVE You, @ Scott... I LOVE You, @Gregg... I LOVE You @ Ms. Hillary...ATWT had an incredible cast.. SUPERLATIVE...!!! oh god, this show was loved... FOREVER !!! Scott Bryce.. you are DYNAMIC
I have to add that I adored this show. HBS, Gregg & Scott were MY Margo, Tom & Craig. In fact, I briefly met HBS at Disney when she had been on OLTL as Nora for a couple of years. I told her that she would always be Margo to me and she wasn't quite happy to hear that at the time. 🤣 Interestingly, Nora's maiden name Hanan was from Julie Hanan Currathers. I didn't really know Julie, but I grew up with her younger brothers. Their wonderfully strong and sweet mother Sandy just passed away in December.
Alan... thank you so much for doing these reunion videos and keeping our shows alive. I can tell you love the genre of soap opera as much as a lot of us do. THANK YOU AGAIN!
I loved seeing Hillary Smilth, she was always one of my favs on O L T L ., I MISS ALL OF THR ACTORS AND CHARACTERS ON THAT SHOW AND A M C . Watching all those years they became like real friends to me. I miss that time of day that I looked fwd to everyday. I try to watch ,every show that comes on about the soaps and the acters. Miss you all It would be a dream come true if the 2 shows I mentioned would come back. I would be happy with 1/2 hour a day, or even an hour a week. Thanks for the memories, as Bob Hope would say. Marcia p s I watched since 9th grade and I am 73 now.
i'm glad that hillary clarified the whole situation with the "grandmother clause" because i know eileen fulton has had to fight against those rumors for years when the only reason they existed is because of the ageism in the industry. characters lose babies all the time in soap operas nowadays so it's a little jarring to hear them talk about margo's miscarriage so honestly. it's always really uncomfortable (and kind of horrifying when you think about it) that so many soap opera actresses have to play the deaths of their actual, real life children, especially when not killing all the characters actually creates more drama for the storylines. i know everyone always talks about mary stuart having to play the death of her son on search for tomorrow, but i only just turned 27, so i think the worst one i can remember is sabrina and patrick's baby dying on general hospital, especially since teresa castillo was still pregnant and they were drawing that storyline out for so long. it was so painful to watch, even for viewers like me who never really cared for sabrina. i think since soaps often go for shock value as a genres staple they forget that certain subjects need to be treated with the seriousness they deserve or otherwise not be dealt with by writers who can't handle it. that said, i absolutely loved lyla and casey. for me, they were the best and most well-written atwt couple of the 80s. that scene where craig first finds out about them and lyla completely lets him have it while craig is literally crying because his mom has a boyfriend (lol) is really great. and then craig runs to the police station to tell margo and she starts laughing at him for overreacting. genius.
This is great. Watched ATWT from 1977 to the end (but remember watching it in the 60's as my Mom watched it.) I have just watched ATWT 1985 thru 1997 (on TH-cam) and will continue to the end; sometimes I go back & watch some from before 1977 when I can catch them. ATWT was the very best & I watched GL, AMC, Y&R & now just watch GH but have no tv so it is all TH-cam as clips.
Alan, thank you for bringing together these 3 incredible individuals and amazing actors!!! I really enjoyed this reunion. It's definitely one of my favorites of all the reunions you've hosted. With no disrespect to the amazing Hunt Block and the other actor(s) who have portrayed Craig, Scott Bryce WAS, IS and WILL ALWAYS BE the ONLY CRAIG MONTGOMERY!!!! Scott's laughter and utter enjoyment in this moment is so genuine and absolutely infectious. Loved his stories of his first day and of working with the great Liz Hubbard, as well as the James Brady story. Gregg and Hillary were my absolute favorite combo casting of Tom and Margo. Justin Deas, Margaret Colin, Scott Holmes and Ellen Dolan were fantastic as well, however, Gregg and Hillary's portrayals made me actually fall in love with and care about Tom and Margo. BTW, Hillary mentioned that she worked with four actors who portrayed Tom. I can only name three (Justin, Gregg and Scott). Who's the fourth actor? The Doug Marland era from late 1985 to 1992 was the renaissance period of ATWT, IMHO. There was such a measurable decline in quality, storytelling and character development after Marland passed away. The Marland era was such a great moment in time that unfortunately I don't believe we will ever experience again in our lifetime. Loved this one!!! I'm hooked. If you can, please share this with Gregg, Hillary and Scott. Please continue with these reunions post quarantine. Happy Pride!!!!
They are all so much fun. I could have watched them for a few more hours. I was about twelve. When the Steve, Betsy, Greg, storyline started. I remember not wanting to miss an episode during that time. Same with Lilly & Holden.
They will always be Tom, Margo and Craig to me and I really hated it when they left. It bothered me more when Hillary left because she claimed at the time that she was taking a break to spend time with her kids and I accidentally turned the TV a couple of weeks later and she was on OLTL. If she had gotten a better offer there I just wished she would've been honest to the fans about it instead of lying about why she left. I loved her as Margo she'll always be Margo to me.
This was amazing! I watched as a teen from right before James Stenbeck died the first time until.....sometime after Lily separated from Damian Grimaldi. I LOVED Scott as Craig! He was charming....and still is. Gregg felt like such a better fit for Margo than Scott Holmes, although Scott was awesome in his own right. And Hilary B....I was sad when she left the show. Great show this week! You know what would be good to see? A few shows with all the Margos or all the Craigs, or all the Toms. Both Betsys would be nice. Or do a show with Craig, Tonio, Sierra and Lucinda.
Oh wow Alan. This has to be the most amazing reunion you've set up yet. It was just a magical time for the show when Doug Marland was head writer. Oh and these three people. Such amazing talent. Scott Bryce, wow. He is such an amazing storyteller. I could listen to him all day. I'm sure I had known this at some point, but I totally forgot that his dad played Bill Bauer on GL. Sweet Hillary. She was my favorite Margo. And she had the distinction of working with three different actors playing Tom. OMG, The Ying and Yang story had me rolling. And Gregg. I was very curious as to what he would bring to the reunion, given the fact he was just on for two years. He was absolutely my favorite Tom, hands down. Gregg's interpretation of Tom was totally different from Justin's. And Gregg had has many stories to tell as well. I loved him talking about his family, the wonderful Marx Brothers. He was getting kind of choked up about it. I'm glad to know the producers actually were trying to convince him to stay with the show. I kind of always wished Gregg took them up on their offer. Who knows, he could have been with the show for the remainder of the show, and we wouldn't have known Scott Holmes, not in that role at least. I totally forgot that he won the Emmy for his work. I assume it was Best Supporting Actor. I would have loved for Alan to have asked Gregg if he had a favorite Marx Brothers movie. He's a fabulous singer to, and there are some videos on TH-cam of Gregg singing. I would have liked for him to have talked about his personal life more, maybe what life was like back in his soap days being gay versus being gay today. Does he have a boyfriend or husband? But I also respect his privacy to. May I say that I've had quite the crush on him for quite sometime. The Montgomeries were my second favorite family right behind the Hughes and even ahead of the Stewarts and Snyders. Again, Alan, thanks again for an amazing interview. Those laughs were much needed and infectious. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like Scott's face when he laughs! I never saw that with Craig. (I realize they are not the same people.) I miss this soap and the Doug Marland years.
They will always be Tom, Margo and Craig to me I hated to se them leave but I know that how things are in soaps. But I will say Hillary was awesome with Scott Holmes too. But I missed seeing her with Gregg.
I thought after Ellen Dolan left the role of Margo in 1993 that Hillary would return to the role but, she doing One Life to live.They probably did offer her job but, she didn't leave
Scott Bryce aka the ONLY Craig Montgomery.
I liked Scott Bryce's Craig back in the 80's and 90's but when he came back briefly in the mid 2000's it seems he was a bit out of character. Having him turn heal to a more protagonist villainous role just wasn't him.

I agree with you. Scott Bryce was the original and best Craig Montgomery.
In the 80s, ATWT was firing on all cylinders. Acting, writing... there was no better era of soap opera.
I still miss this show with all my heart.
@@timboyd9709 My late grandmother in Columbus Georgia loved that show
Old School ATWT. Brings me back to my childhood. Douglas Marland's ATWT was the best era. Basically 1985 to 1993. ATWT storywise and characters were untouchable. Scott Bryce will always be Classic Craig. They should have had Hunt Block play Craig's cousin.
Or Bab's long lost ne'er-do-well brother Rick Ryan.
Besides Scott Bryce, Mr. Block's spin on Craig was a goodie and my second favorite --particularly during the yearlong burnt Barbara storyline. He was devious but funny at the same time.
I loved Scott Bryce and he will always be Craig to me as Finn Carter will always be Sierra.
Yes best show from crew to cast and all. Hale to Sir Doug Marlene and our dear Agnes Nixon. Every day was just see episodes.
I loved the Scott Bryce "Craig" then entire time :)
Wendy The Author and Artist Scott was the definitive Craig. He created a character that was so layered and complex. Hunt Block was good at being a prick, but he was a one-note portrayal.
As The World Turns was such an amazing soap with wonderful characters like these set of actors and actresses!! You are so correct in that Doug Marland was an amazing writer. He passed away way to early in life.
He was wonderful when he wrote for The Guiding Light. Then he repeated it with As the World Turns. I think during his time at both shows when they were the best
Yes they were. Douglas Marland WAS the headwriter. He created dynamic storylines.
That was one of the best segments ever. I swear Scott Bryce could always channel incredible vulnerability and then pivot to every emotion thinkable. He and Greg were strong yet sensitive and Hilary is masterful in touching every note from comedic to great sorrow. Damnit networks then folks need to be seen
Thanks, Corey! Glad you enjoyed it.
Scott: "Plot was almost meaningless." YES. I could've watched those characters read a phone book-- as long as Doug Marland was the one who wrote the phone book! Thank you, Alan, for another wonderful reunion!
You're so welcome, Kelly!
Craig and Sierra...what a wonderful love story. One of my absolute favorites!
That was my favorite. Scott Bryce and Finn Carter were great and were the best couple on the show. I didn't like that things were standing in their way though to keep them together long enough.
How I loved Gregg Marx!!!
He was the best. ATWT had incredible stories & actors. For me, my favorite Tom & Margo. They look great. Gregg looks 25 years younger.
Had the biggest crush on him. He’s still good looking.
The little details they added for the characters is what I loved. Lucinda always drank Perrier water. John was always eating something. Kim calling people "pal" or "toots". Those little things made ATWT different from any other show and what made it the best of them all. And I watched and recorded 6 soaps for quite a while.
ATWT was the most real soap to me.
I always thought kim saying pal and toots was irritating
Lord yes the great Lucinda Walshe
Love craig n sierra.
All these actors have just wonderful personalities and I'm learning so much from them I never knew before.
What a wonderful show. This is when ATWT was on top. I love these 3 actors and so thankful that they're connecting with the fans in this way. They haven't changed a bit. My favorite Tom, Margo and Craig.
Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!
I loved Scott Bryce as Craig!!! My fave. Hillary was amazing as Margo too and of course Gregg was awesome too!!

Same. I use to ask my mom. Grew up watching gl and atwt

The last few years the writing was terrible and I couldn’t watch anymore and not long after that the show ended. 😟
Gregg Marx was my favorite Tom Hughes!! Loved Hillary and Scott, too
How can you not love them! These shows are so fun when the actors love to talk and share. I miss them so much. 😭❤❤ Thank you to all Alan for arranging and thank you to Hillary, Gregg and Scott. Magical time on daytime.
You're so welcome, Leslie! Glad you enjoyed it.
Fun as always! The Shakespeare Rep of daytime indeed. Hillary B. Smith is as funny as Margo Hughes. Happy Juneteenth and Happy Pride World 🌎Turners!
Just an absolute joy watching this!, loved Scott, Hillary and Greg. Another great time in ATWT history.
My favorite reunion. It was great seeing Gregg and Scott. I had seen Hillary on the OLTL reunion. The caring and love these three have for each other is heart warming. I loved all the stories. So much great talk and the reunion flowed very well.
Scott's dad was a Guiding Light legend. I just watched a clip on TH-cam the other day of his last return to The Light.
Alan, this would have to be one of the best you've done, and you've had so many so far that have been great.

You are so welcome, KC! Thanks for watching.
I loved these 3 so much. I was so sad when they moved on. God bless them.
Benjamin Henrikson was a good, but an brilliant actor even though his demons haunted him until the end & will truly be missed. Also, he won his Daytime Emmy Award as Hal Munson on ATWT in 2003!
Craig and Sierra were my first favorite soap couple
Mine too!
Mine too. Scott Bryce and Finn Carter were dynamic, real, and full of soul. They were the best couple in daytime.
I dont have a favorite but they are up there as the best
This was so great seeing everyone it makes you want to go back to the 80's!! I was so looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint at all!!
Glad you liked it, Paul!

You're so welcome, Derek!
Lisa Brown and Tom Wiggin as Kirk and Iva was my second favorite couple. I wished that they never broke up.
This was the best interview. This interview was a lot of fun. Gregg and Hillary will always be Tom and Margo. Scott will always be Craig. It would be great if you could reach out to alumni that made it in Hollywood. William Fichtner, Steven Weber, Marisa Tomei, Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, Jason Biggs, and the many others that started out in Oakdale.

Smile on my face from beginning to end of this. These 3 were the main players when I first started watching ATWT. Watching this makes me wish there was a way to go back and watch those old shows. There's definitely a market for it.
Maybe if someone got a petition going and presented it to Procter and Gamble, maybe this might give them a push?
@@serialwriteher2467 It would be nice but I'm not sure they'd even care. I heard repeatedly that P&G saw no value in their remaining soaps...and they couldn't have been more wrong...I mean the audience for it's two shows are still there and missing the shows more than ever.

Scott Bryce is the best.

All four of you kept me smiling through this entire episode. Thank you.
I'm so happy to hear that, Jenna. Thank you.
I love all of these Alan, but this one.....was SPECIAL! Thanks Alan and Happy Pride Month!
I agree I’ve loved every ATWT reunion special on here but this one was extra special. You could feel the love. It was great!
Yes, exactly, you really COULD feel the LOVE!
Glad you enjoyed it, Lisa! Thanks for the Pride shout out.
Well I will be 70 in July and I remember watching the show way back when it was only 15 minutes long so I was really sad when it went off the air I used to watch with my grandmother
Thank you so much for what you do! I miss these and others that were on As the world turns and Guilding light
I am so glad to read this, Darlene. Thank you for taking the time to message me.
What wonderful folks these people are!! I loved watching them reminisce and catch up. Thank you, Alan!!
You are very welcome.
Acting wise. ATWT has a lot of superstars.
Yes they introduced to the actress i can never get enough of...the Great Ms. Maura West.
This was great...great stuff. Would love to see Dusty, Holden, Meg and Emily (Melanie Smith)...oh and Paul.
I would love to see Brian Bloom and Melanie Smith. I really missed the late Lisa Brown. I would love to see Jennifer Ashe, Lindsay Frost
So enjoyed this! Thank you! They are like family for sure!
I LOVE You, @ Scott... I LOVE You, @Gregg... I LOVE You @ Ms. Hillary...ATWT had an incredible cast.. SUPERLATIVE...!!! oh god, this show was loved... FOREVER !!! Scott Bryce.. you are DYNAMIC
😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for not only doing the late versions of the cast but going back to the 80s love these 3 good to see Gregg Marx
Glad you enjoyed it
I had such a crush on Gregg as a young teen. This is awesome :)
OMG I'm 100% in love with Hillary. One of the greats
Great taste...me tpo
You should get the original tom and Margo Marguet Colin and Justin Deas
I have to add that I adored this show. HBS, Gregg & Scott were MY Margo, Tom & Craig. In fact, I briefly met HBS at Disney when she had been on OLTL as Nora for a couple of years. I told her that she would always be Margo to me and she wasn't quite happy to hear that at the time. 🤣 Interestingly, Nora's maiden name Hanan was from Julie Hanan Currathers. I didn't really know Julie, but I grew up with her younger brothers. Their wonderfully strong and sweet mother Sandy just passed away in December.
Yes there's my favorite as the world turns opening
😍😍
Alan... thank you so much for doing these reunion videos and keeping our shows alive. I can tell you love the genre of soap opera as much as a lot of us do. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Glad you like them, Brian! Thanks for the note.
This was fantastic, Alan! Thanks so much for reuniting them!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
This was such a fun reunion video.i laughed so hard so many times. Love Scott Bryce 💙
Gosh I really miss atwt and gl. And all the talented people on daytime
Me too Angela 😂, it was a blast!
Loved it!!!
I loved seeing Hillary Smilth, she was always one of my favs on O L T L ., I MISS ALL OF THR ACTORS AND CHARACTERS ON THAT SHOW AND A M C . Watching all those years they became like real friends to me. I miss that time of day that I looked fwd to everyday. I try to watch ,every show that comes on about the soaps and the acters. Miss you all
It would be a dream come true if the 2 shows I mentioned would come back. I would be happy with 1/2 hour a day, or even an hour a week. Thanks for the memories, as Bob Hope would say. Marcia p s I watched since 9th grade and I am 73 now.
Thank you so much for this. Gregg, Hillary and Scott will always be the only Tom, Margo and Craig to me.
Fantastic that you are doing these!
i'm glad that hillary clarified the whole situation with the "grandmother clause" because i know eileen fulton has had to fight against those rumors for years when the only reason they existed is because of the ageism in the industry. characters lose babies all the time in soap operas nowadays so it's a little jarring to hear them talk about margo's miscarriage so honestly. it's always really uncomfortable (and kind of horrifying when you think about it) that so many soap opera actresses have to play the deaths of their actual, real life children, especially when not killing all the characters actually creates more drama for the storylines. i know everyone always talks about mary stuart having to play the death of her son on search for tomorrow, but i only just turned 27, so i think the worst one i can remember is sabrina and patrick's baby dying on general hospital, especially since teresa castillo was still pregnant and they were drawing that storyline out for so long. it was so painful to watch, even for viewers like me who never really cared for sabrina. i think since soaps often go for shock value as a genres staple they forget that certain subjects need to be treated with the seriousness they deserve or otherwise not be dealt with by writers who can't handle it.
that said, i absolutely loved lyla and casey. for me, they were the best and most well-written atwt couple of the 80s. that scene where craig first finds out about them and lyla completely lets him have it while craig is literally crying because his mom has a boyfriend (lol) is really great. and then craig runs to the police station to tell margo and she starts laughing at him for overreacting. genius.
Woohoo! They sure are talented and smart and funny!!
Thank you Alan.
Yes they are! Thanks for watching.
This is great. Watched ATWT from 1977 to the end (but remember watching it in the 60's as my Mom watched it.) I have just watched ATWT 1985 thru 1997 (on TH-cam) and will continue to the end; sometimes I go back & watch some from before 1977 when I can catch them. ATWT was the very best & I watched GL, AMC, Y&R & now just watch GH but have no tv so it is all TH-cam as clips.
I think you got all the technical bugs fixed! Amazing people with great chemistry and history. Thank you!
I saw this live the first time and back to watch it again! One of my favorite Locher Rooms!♥️
Thanks, Lisa. I love hearing that.
Loved this reunion. 🔥The actors were funny and had great chemistry online as they sis onscreen. Great job Alan!❤ Keep em coming !🌟
Thank you! Will do!
Alan, thank you for bringing together these 3 incredible individuals and amazing actors!!! I really enjoyed this reunion. It's definitely one of my favorites of all the reunions you've hosted. With no disrespect to the amazing Hunt Block and the other actor(s) who have portrayed Craig, Scott Bryce WAS, IS and WILL ALWAYS BE the ONLY CRAIG MONTGOMERY!!!! Scott's laughter and utter enjoyment in this moment is so genuine and absolutely infectious. Loved his stories of his first day and of working with the great Liz Hubbard, as well as the James Brady story.
Gregg and Hillary were my absolute favorite combo casting of Tom and Margo. Justin Deas, Margaret Colin, Scott Holmes and Ellen Dolan were fantastic as well, however, Gregg and Hillary's portrayals made me actually fall in love with and care about Tom and Margo. BTW, Hillary mentioned that she worked with four actors who portrayed Tom. I can only name three (Justin, Gregg and Scott). Who's the fourth actor?
The Doug Marland era from late 1985 to 1992 was the renaissance period of ATWT, IMHO. There was such a measurable decline in quality, storytelling and character development after Marland passed away. The Marland era was such a great moment in time that unfortunately I don't believe we will ever experience again in our lifetime.
Loved this one!!! I'm hooked. If you can, please share this with Gregg, Hillary and Scott.
Please continue with these reunions post quarantine. Happy Pride!!!!
I think the fourth was Jason Kincaid who was Tom for a brief time, between Gregg Marx and Scott Holmes.
@@PavedParadise Thank you.
Thank you, Erik! I so appreciate the note.
Alan, any plans on getting Annie Sward and doing a Montgomery clan reunion with Scott and Hillary? They had great chemistry with their Mamma 😀
I do want to get her. That would be amazing.
I love that idea.
I'd watch. Get Scott, Teri (Katie), any Margo you can find... heck, get Cricket Montgomery back too!
They are all so much fun. I could have watched them for a few more hours. I was about twelve. When the Steve, Betsy, Greg, storyline started. I remember not wanting to miss an episode during that time. Same with Lilly & Holden.
They were a talented group of actors hitting their mark. Thanks for watching.
My favorite one so far!
Glad you think so, Robert!
Thanks Alan! Great Reunion. I would like to see whole Montgomery family Liz, Finn, Anne and Scott. I loved seeing Gregg, Hillary and Scott.
Glad you tuned in and enjoyed it. Thanks for the note.
Wow. What a great interview. Learned so much
Thanks so much! They were a fun bunch. :)
Wow that was awesome!!
Glad you liked it, Angela.
They will always be Tom, Margo and Craig to me and I really hated it when they left. It bothered me more when Hillary left because she claimed at the time that she was taking a break to spend time with her kids and I accidentally turned the TV a couple of weeks later and she was on OLTL. If she had gotten a better offer there I just wished she would've been honest to the fans about it instead of lying about why she left. I loved her as Margo she'll always be Margo to me.
I loved margaret on the show
I love the 3 way/2 Locher room epidsoes. I hope that you can get YR stars on as well.
This was amazing! I watched as a teen from right before James Stenbeck died the first time until.....sometime after Lily separated from Damian Grimaldi. I LOVED Scott as Craig! He was charming....and still is. Gregg felt like such a better fit for Margo than Scott Holmes, although Scott was awesome in his own right. And Hilary B....I was sad when she left the show. Great show this week! You know what would be good to see? A few shows with all the Margos or all the Craigs, or all the Toms. Both Betsys would be nice. Or do a show with Craig, Tonio, Sierra and Lucinda.
Thanks for sharing your memories. I sure wish they all can come back now. Because The Bold is about to drive me nuts.
Thanks so much for tuning in.
This was the best one!
I love hearing that. Thank you.
Oh and I really miss Caleb
And Julie!
That was very sad the first actor who played Caleb died from a drug overdose in his 30's.
Oh wow Alan. This has to be the most amazing reunion you've set up yet. It was just a magical time for the show when Doug Marland was head writer. Oh and these three people. Such amazing talent. Scott Bryce, wow. He is such an amazing storyteller. I could listen to him all day. I'm sure I had known this at some point, but I totally forgot that his dad played Bill Bauer on GL. Sweet Hillary. She was my favorite Margo. And she had the distinction of working with three different actors playing Tom. OMG, The Ying and Yang story had me rolling. And Gregg. I was very curious as to what he would bring to the reunion, given the fact he was just on for two years. He was absolutely my favorite Tom, hands down. Gregg's interpretation of Tom was totally different from Justin's. And Gregg had has many stories to tell as well. I loved him talking about his family, the wonderful Marx Brothers. He was getting kind of choked up about it. I'm glad to know the producers actually were trying to convince him to stay with the show. I kind of always wished Gregg took them up on their offer. Who knows, he could have been with the show for the remainder of the show, and we wouldn't have known Scott Holmes, not in that role at least. I totally forgot that he won the Emmy for his work. I assume it was Best Supporting Actor. I would have loved for Alan to have asked Gregg if he had a favorite Marx Brothers movie. He's a fabulous singer to, and there are some videos on TH-cam of Gregg singing. I would have liked for him to have talked about his personal life more, maybe what life was like back in his soap days being gay versus being gay today. Does he have a boyfriend or husband? But I also respect his privacy to. May I say that I've had quite the crush on him for quite sometime. The Montgomeries were my second favorite family right behind the Hughes and even ahead of the Stewarts and Snyders. Again, Alan, thanks again for an amazing interview. Those laughs were much needed and infectious. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you tuned in and enjoyed the show. Thanks for the note.
Would love to see a Synder Family ATWT reunion - Emma, Iva, Seth, Meg, Ellie, Holden
Emma always had the best advice for all her troubled loved ones. I miss them.
The Doug Marland years the best. So good to see these 3 together. Enjoy being FB friends with Scott. Love hearing about Eileen.
Agree just like Agnes Nixon time the best for All My Children
This was a great episode! I wish on one of the ATWT you would have the old theme. I miss it so much!
Me too. Miss it so much. Thanks for watching.
I'm finally watching this. Alan, you forgot Katie is Lyla's daughter? LOL 🤣
How did I forget? What were we discussing? It has been 10 years ;)
@@TheLocherRoom you got a pass! Hahaha
Scott was in good fight playing Henry riddells lawyer, a doctor who was looking after Sofia golden girls and Murphy Brown playing corkeys husband.
What about Cricket?
Alan I hope that you can have Hunt Block/LIz H. and Scott on another Locher room episode.
I like Scott's face when he laughs! I never saw that with Craig. (I realize they are not the same people.) I miss this soap and the Doug Marland years.
OMG wow
Sierra and Craig were a great couple
Agreed!
They will always be Tom, Margo and Craig to me I hated to se them leave but I know that how things are in soaps. But I will say Hillary was awesome with Scott Holmes too. But I missed seeing her with Gregg.
Ask them about working with Helen Wagner and Dr. John Dixon.
Yes top notch actors
Awesome interview! That brought back so many memories. I think I hate CBS and P&G even more now...LOL
Oh no -- 😍 Thanks so much for watching this, Johnny. I appreciate it.
I didn’t know this happened
I thought after Ellen Dolan left the role of Margo in 1993 that Hillary would return to the role but, she doing One Life to live.They probably did offer her job but, she didn't leave
Both Margo's were very good.
