![]() Craig had only one scene with his sister Katie. We called ourselves "the Odd Squad," or as the fans call us the "Quad from Hell." We were pretty much stuck in that one story. TV : You were in such an oddball quartet.īryce: I felt I was in the trenches with Marie Wilson, Roger Howarth and Cady McClain, all consummate professionals. ![]() Some of my best work has come out in the last 3 to 4 months. I think the last several months have been really great, actually. When we finally had the family and the baby stuff it made sense to me and I felt rooted. Why is Meg even with Craig? Why did she stay after Paul's supposed death? What's going on with the company? How can you turn over a multi-national corporation with less signatures than it takes to rent a car? All of it was very tough to play. : Do you think the writing may have led to your downfall?īryce: This was a very difficult story to sell, frankly. It's extremely compelling - like watching a car accident. What you accomplished is kind of a miracle, really.īryce: One fan wrote to say, "Craig almost killed an unborn baby and I all I wanted to do was hug the guy." How does that happen? I guess that's what makes him so interesting to me and to the audience. : You've injected an intense amount of heart and humanity into some pretty heinous situations - like when Craig came very close to aborting Meg's fetus. Yes, he's a villain but he doesn't know that. ![]() Craig, as I understood him, has a need for family and love and fulfillment, and at all costs, which is what creates all the mayhem and madness in his life. Chris would say to me, "This is your character, run with it." But when I did he never seemed pleased. It's not the ATWT I remember from those many years ago.

What went haywire?īryce: I've had dozens of relationships with executive producers and this one, with Chris Goutman, was odd and very disconnected. : You created Craig in 1982, played him off-and-on into the '90s, then came back to the show just last April. In fact, the last time I was fired I was flipping burgers at the Big Top Shop in Westport, so this is kind of stunning. This is a real drag because I've never been fired from an acting job before. : Word is, your peeps at ATWT are pretty bummed.īryce: The response from the cast and crew has been equally unbelievable. It's touching and affirming and it means the world to me. I'd started thinking to myself, "Wow, maybe I stink" but the response from the fans has been so amazing and overwhelming that it's helped soften the blow. Scott Bryce: I have to say an enormous thank you for their love and support. : Your followers, and they are legion, are having coronaries over this! Here Bryce - in his only exit interview - talks about his controversial axing. ![]() 21 after trying to blow up his archrival Paul (Roger Howarth). What a great interview, very interesting read.Īs the World Turns star Scott Bryce - one of the best badasses in the business - has been fired from his role as Craig Montgomery and fans are furiously bombarding the show with petitions for his return. ![]()
