When are Craig and Rosanna leaving - how far along is Jen?

 

[Jennifer S]

I think they are leaving this summer but they tape well ahead so not sure when they will be off screen. As far as Jen - who knows pregnancies fly by on TV

 

[r3ngels]

Okay Guys, help me out who was that kissing in the previews for next week? It looked like Jack and Carly but what is the big deal about that?

I thought it was Paul and Emily... I've got it on the PVR so I'll run it back and pay more attention.

Looks like they are setting up for a good summer of watching.

 

[TinkerBess_SnowTori]

EWWWW please not Emily and Paul - ick, ick ick. I have said it once and I will keep on saying it - I do not like them together.

I hope it was Jack and Carly - that is who it looked like to me.

I hope Jen doesn't lose the baby!!!

I think this summer is going to be an interesting one

 

[Shelby5514]

Yep, you were right it was Carly and Jack. Just looked like a "hot" moment not anything shocking. It looked like Jack had something in his hand at her neck, an ice cube maybe???

 

[ashjohnson80]

I don't know why, but I can't stand Paul. I liked him when it was the actor before this last one but the guy who plays him now... He just irks me I don't know.

You took the words out of my mouth. I don't care for this actor either. Smarmy comes to mind...or full of himself...something.

Loving Lucinda on the front burner again.

Like Dusty and Jen WAY more than Mike and Jen. Lots o' chemistry or something. I love Katie and all her shenanigans; I honestly like her with Henry, and yet I think she needs to be with Mike. I watched Terri O'Connell (Katie) on a Baby Story a few weeks ago- she seems like one down to earth gal.

 

[Jennifer S]

I bet Jen does lose the baby- I don't see Craig leaving Oakdale (and he is leaving the show) without his child- plus you know Jen & Mike will probably break-up and this will cause some friction. Everything can'tbe smooth and nice- it's a soap things always go wrong.

What's going on with Carly and her Dad picture? I feel like I must have missed something and the way Carly and Jack were talking, I get the weird feeling its going to turn out that they are somehow related to each other! I know that's crazy and they have a kid together but that was just the feeling I was getting today with the way Jack was talking to her about being with her forever etc... I'm sure I'm way off base!

I also was off line when there was a fire of some sort and missed it all (I was off line for 3 weeks due to moving) so I dont have a clue what happened with Lily, Keith and Les. Did Les come back and start a fire and he was the killer? Is Keith definitely not the killer?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes Les was definately the killer. He drugged lily and put Carly in a trunk and set the house on fire. Keith rescued lily but then les took them somewhere and Jack rescued Carly. Then I missed the next episode and when I came back everyone was o.k. so I don't really know what happened with Les.

 

[Jennifer S]

Jack shot and killed Les. Keith left town for a few weeks but will be back.

I think you may be onto something there. As much as I love Carly and Jack together, they're just not fun to watch when everything's OK. Drama makes them a better couple!

 

[Diana Lyn]

I swear it was Jack and Carly. And it looked like he was rubbing an ice cube on her neck?

Well, if I remember from many years ago, Carly origionally came to town as Rosanna's cousin- then it was discovered that her mom had had an affair with Rosanna's father. So that's how Rosanna and Carly ended up being sisters- and Carly's parentage was assured. One of the reasons Carly hated Rosanna and stole Mike from her was because she was upset that Rosanna had her dad's love and Carly didn't (and Carly's "father" in Tulsa was not a nice guy)- also, I think when Ro and Carly's dad died, he left everything to Ro and cut Carly out.

 

[sha_lyn]

if I remember right they actually have the same mother, not father. Mom ran off with Roseanne's dad leaving Carly and her dad behind.

More than you ever wanted to know about Carly Tenney.



Not so Brief Character History

Carly Tenney came to Oakdale to get a piece of the Cabot fortune. Carly's mother abandoned her family to run off with the very rich Alexander Cabot, and Carly felt she deserved some of that money. To get a hold of some of that fortune, she became very chummy with her half-sister, Rosanna Cabot. One night soon after arriving in Oakdale, Carly met a man in a bar and had a one-night stand. She later learned that that man was Rosanna's fiancé, Mike. Carly tried to break up Rosanna and Mike, and they slept together a second time. Then the day that Rosanna was to marry Mike, Carly made sure she learned about their one night stand. Shocked and angry, Rosanna called off the wedding and Carly later learned she was pregnant, a condition she used to get Mike close to her. Rosanna, jealous of Mike & Carly's baby, told Carly to name her price and she would buy the baby. But Carly refused to sell her child. Rosanna then offered to pay Carly millions of dollars to leave town. Carly, seeing this as an opportunity, arranged it so Mike would walk in when Rosanna was handing over the money. Mike broke up with Rosanna. That same night Rosanna and Mike were having dinner on a restaurant boat and Carly came looking for them. After a arguing viciously with Carly, Rosanna finally had enough and turned to walk away. Just then, Carly grabbed Rosanna by the arm and Rosanna jerked her arm away. Tragically, when Rosanna jerked her arm away, Carly lost her balance and fell backward off the ship causing her to go into premature labor and losing her baby. Feeling a small measure of guilt, Rosanna made Carly a deal: she would give Carly $50 million when she married and had a baby (by anyone besides Mike). Thinking she had all the time in the world, Carly accepted Lisa's offer to start a design company in Hong Kong and left Oakdale behind.

A few years later, Carly (who'd lost money in Hong Kong and had since moved back to Montana) found out there WAS a deadline. Carly had to have a baby by the end of 1998, or the deal was off. At the same time she found this out, she was contacted by her cousin Molly. Molly needed help snaring Holden Snyder away from his wife; and Carly was happy to oblige. Carly decided to move back to Oakdale with her cousin, looking to get married and beat the deadline. She got a job at the police station and became very close to Hal Munson and Jack Snyder. While trying to help Jack capture arsonist Teague, Carly and Jack got stranded at a cabin and almost made love. When they were rescued, Jack was sent to the hospital with serious injuries. Since Carly only had about 9 months to meet her deadline, she instantly married Hal Munson. To guarantee that she would get pregnant, she had herself artificially inseminated by Dr. John Dixon. Carly's marriage to Hal, already on shaky ground because Hal's daughter, Nikki, had suspicions about Carly, started to fall apart because it was obvious that she was in love with Jack. At the same time that Hal decided to divorce Carly, she found out that the sperm that was inseminated into her was donated by Dr. Dixon himself!! Tests revealed that John was the father; they quickly married and once Carly's baby, Parker, was born, (delivered by Jack and his new girlfriend, Julia Lindsay) they divorced. Carly then found out that John was NOT the baby's father; Hal was. Brad Snyder, Jack's brother, blackmailed her with this information and forced her to marry him. Carly told Brad in no uncertain terms that she didn't love him and was only marrying him to ensure she didn't lose her fortune. While married to Brad, Carly came thisclose to having a one-night stand with the man she never stopped loving, Jack Snyder.

Carly decided to divorce Brad and pursue Jack; she promised Brad $5 million to agree to the divorce. At Hal and Barbara's engagement party, a vengeful Brad showed up with Parker and broke the news that he was Hal's, not John's, son. Rosanna immediately pulled the plug on the money; Jack recoiled in disgust and Carly was shunned by everyone else in Oakdale. A penniless Carly gave Parker to Hal and Barbara because she was homeless, but couldn't stay away and kept showing up at their house. At Hal's urging, Lisa gave Carly a menial job and basement digs. Carly and Barbara then started coming to an understanding about Carly's visitation with Parker. After losing everything, Carly was determined to get her life together and started working at Java. To her surprise, Jack befriended her and forgave her deception. After a minor argument, Jack bet Carly that she couldn't go 1 month without telling a lie. Carly accepted the bet on the condition that if she won, he'd give their relationship another chance.

During this time, Carly found $1 million at her doorstep. Knowing the money was left by Carter (the hit man who held her hostage), Carly was tempted to keep the money. however she did the right thing and turned it over to the police. Shortly after, to her surprise, she was awarded $ 1 million for Carter's capture. Carly put the money to good use by re-starting her design business. On Christmas, Jack announced to Carly that she won the bet and he rewarded her with a marriage proposal and a new house. For once, Carly's life seemed perfect. But, sadly, Carly's perfect life was to come to an end. Soon after becoming engaged, Carly started receiving threats from a man named Philips who knew her in Hong Kong. Afraid that Jack would learn some unsavory secret from her past, Carly kept the threats to herself. Philips told her that he was sent from their employer to retrieve her at any cost. Philips warned Carly that if she refused to return to her former Hong Kong employer, Jack and Parker would get hurt. Afraid for their lives, Carly sadly told Jack that she couldn't marry him, abandoned Parker, and left Oakdale with Philips.

After months of trying to contact Jack, Carly finally found salvation in the form of Craig Montgomery, one of Winston Lowe's business associates. Though she made a deal with Craig so he'd help her leave Winston, Winston ended up dying of a heart attack and Carly stole Craig's airline tickets to fly back to Oakdale. When she arrived she told Jack and everyone the truth: Winston Lowe was her husband. Having married the dangerous man years ago in Hong Kong, she was able to escape but kept the marriage a secret. Though she'd hoped that Jack would understand, he refused to forgive her secrecy and still wanted nothing more to do with her and Hal refused to give her back custody of Parker. Carly, however has vowed to earn back the respect she's lost and earn back Jack's love. In the end, Carly got her wish and she and Jack reconciled. Making Carly's life difficult was Craig Montgomery, who had feelings (personal and professional) for her and Julia who was determined not to give Jack a divorce. Though she tried to stay away from Craig, Carly couldn't deny their chemistry and kept making excuses to see him even though she knew Jack didn't approve. However all of her fears came true when Jack saw proof that Carly & Craig shared a kiss on Craig's wedding day. That same day, Carly was suddenly kidnapped by a demented Julia! Julia planned to kill Carly so that she and Jack could be together. Luckily Jack was able to rescue her. But this time, Carly was hurt by Jack's sanctimonious attitude when he saw the picture of her and Craig and believing that her and Jack could never make it together, she broke off their engagement.

In order to go on with her life, Carly reluctantly accepted a job designing for BRO. At the same time that Carly was struggling to convince Paul Ryan to let her publicly acknowledge that she was designing for BRO, she and Craig grew closer after the death of his son. Though she cared for Craig, she didn't love him and when she was offered a job in Paris she took it. However, unknown to everybody, on her way to the airport, Carly vanished. Unbeknownst to everyone, Carly ended up in a strange spa in Europe and was slowly drugged by the steam. Though she ended up being with fellow Oakdale residents, Emily Stewart and Rose D'Angelo, but by the time Emily and Rose arrived at the spa, Carly was too drugged to realize they were there. Though the other women tried to protect her, they were unsuccessful and she was mysteriously taken to the "next level." Months later, Carly was granted permission to call Jack and told him to get on with his life as it was too late for her. Nearly four months after she'd disappeared, Carly was mysteriously released by James Stenbeck and traded for Barbara Ryan. Although elated to be reunited with her family, there was just one problem: due to her treatment at the spa, Carly looked decades older! Disgusted by her appearance, Carly was reluctant to let Jack (her rescuer) into her life, and refused to see Craig at all. However, despite her appearance, all Jack saw was simply the woman he loved. He did not even flinch when he saw her for the first time upon her return; he held her and loved her unconditionally and she felt it. Though afraid that she'd be disfigured for life, the doctor who treated Carly at the spa was captured and "persuaded" by Jack to undo the damage he did to Carly. Her face restored, Carly settled down for a life with Jack.

However Craig wasn't totally out of her system and though she tried to forget about him, his relationship with Rosanna filled Carly with jealousy. Though she tried to get on with her life by entering in a partnership with Lisa, Craig manipulated her into accepting a job with BRO. This arrangement didn't sit very well with Jack, however, who didn't trust Craig around Carly. Angry at Jack, Carly fell into her old habits and sought comfort in another man. It wasn't Craig--but her first love, Mike Kasnoff who was now dating Molly! Immediately, the couple felt guilty for what they'd done and decided to keep it a secret. Carly then married Jack only to later learn that she was pregnant! Knowing the child was either Jack's or Mike's, Carly tried to keep quiet about her indiscretion with Mike. Unfortunately, both Jack and Molly found out and wrote Carly out of their lives.

During the course of her pregnancy, Molly eventually forgave Carly, and Jack softened also when he finally realized the child could actually be his and he agreed to help Carly in her pregnancy. To that end, when Carly was ordered to avoid stress in order to ensure a safe delivery, Jack demanded that she stop all work at Monte Carlo. Unfortunately, Carly wouldn't listen--especially when she found out Barbara was trying to get her job. Later Barbara disappeared and later resurfaced claiming that she'd been kidnapped. Skeptical at first, Jack did some digging and discovered that Craig, Rose and Emily did in fact kidnap Barbara. Not wanting the others to suffer, Jack kept quiet about the crime only to be ratted out by Henry Coleman. Not long after, Jack suspected that Carly ripped off Barbara's designs and blew up at her. Believing that she and Jack would never make it work, she ran off to Montana. To her surprise, Jack eventually followed her and declared his love for her and his willingness to raise her child. Soon after, Jack delivered Carly's baby, Sage, and promised that no matter what, he'd be the girl's father. Days later, after learning that they were officially divorced, the pair married in a simple ceremony at Musselshell. In addition to marrying Jack, Carly also reconciled with both Molly and surprisingly, Rosanna, who traveled with Craig to bring Parker to Montana. Carly's happiness was complete when she learned that Sage was indeed Jack's baby.

Several months later, Carly found herself pulled into the Ryan family fiasco when Paul offered her a job at BRO--with the assertion that she could be heading Barbara's company. Although uncertain as to whether she wanted to be in the fallout of a takeover, Carly couldn't help but be intrigued by this amazing opportunity and accepted the offer. However, things would get confusing very quickly. Although warned to keep quiet about her working for BRO (since Barbara couldn't know about it), Carly told Jack and Rosanna. But by this point, Rosanna had severed ties with her friend Paul since she learned that he was indirectly responsible for her losing her adopted child. Forced to choose between working for Paul or having Rosanna in her life, Carly chose Rosanna. It was then that a shocked Carly received an offer to work with Barbara from Barbara herself! Wary of Barbara's motives, Carly went to Paul who was as confused as she was, yet believed his mother's offer was sincere. So, with Rosanna's unexpected encouragement, Carly became a partner at BRO. Although professionally secure, Carly's personal life would be thrown in turmoil a few months later. After having helped rescue Molly from a mobster named Starziak who feared she was going to testify against him, Jack (against Carly's wishes since she was afraid something could happen) offered to let her stay in his house since she had no where to go and feared for her life. Molly's fears seemed grounded when Starziak found her at the Snyders and went after her. Fortunately, Jack and Carly arrived home in time and Jack was able to subdue Starziak. However, the frightening ordeal left Molly hysterical and she demanded that Jack take him away. Though proper procedure was to wait for police backup, to appease an hysterical Molly, Jack took the criminal away himself. Sadly, he never returned and his car was found in the river. Starziak was also found--dead. Although Carly tried to hold out hope that he was alive, a search revealed nothing and the police declared him dead. Although Carly tried to move on with her life, Parker kept insisting that Jack was alive and they had to find him. Parker's hope was contagious and while helping him to get through Jack's death by encouraging him to look for Jack (by sending out a message in a bottle for Jack to find), Carly ended up believing it herself. Then one day, Parker insisted that they had to go to a water park not far from town. Humoring him, Carly and the kids went but found nothing. That same night, Carly went back to the park on a hunch and found the blurred picture of a man she thought was Jack! Certain that Jack was out there somewhere, Carly did some more digging, to Hal's consternation since he felt Carly was damaging Parker by not letting him face the reality of Jack's death. But Carly refused to give up and hired an investigator to find Jack. Although it seemed hopeless, Carly had one small lead--a dark haired woman at the water park with a small child named JJ was at the park with the blurred man in the photo. Finally, after Jack was declared dead for months, Hal got a call from the police about Jack Snyder! Although it was simply a man who'd stolen Jack's wallet, that lead led to an important find--Jack was alive when the wallet was stolen! While Hal tried to find information from the police, Carly followed her own leads. But throughout the weeks the search proved fruitless. Finally Parker (who'd been having psychic flashes throughout all of this) told Carly that it was too late and then collapsed. Fearing what this was doing to her son, Carly decided to give up the search. But that all changed when Carly learned that the dark haired woman from the water park had been in her house wanting to tell her something. The same day, Parker found a pen in the trash, which must have been left by the dark haired woman, a pen from St. Genevieve Hospital. Now with a solid lead, Carly and Rosanna did some searching and found out the woman's identity--Julia Larrabee. However, when she went to Julia's home, she was told that she'd left suddenly with her son and husband, who had to be Jack! With the clock ticking, Carly and Rosanna went searching for Julia and Jack. Although they were thrown off course since Julia had told people she was headed for Tennessee, Carly soon figured out she was heading somewhere else and with some information from some truckers at a rest stop deduced that Julia and Jack could be headed for Louisville, Kentucky. Hitching a ride with a trucker, Carly searched at every hotel on route for Jack to no avail. Finally at dawn's light she got a clue from Parker---Jack was at the White Horse. Having just passed a hotel called the White Horse, Carly knew where Jack was and finally, months after he'd been declared dead came face to face with him. Unfortunately, Jack had no memory of Carly at all. Although she tried to jog his memory by showing him a family picture and telling him about their past, he still could not remember anything. Not feeling anything for this woman in front of him, Jack only wanted to return to Julia and was shocked when Carly told him that Julia had known who he was, that she'd been to their house in Oakdale. Not knowing who to believe, but not liking Carly's confrontational attitude toward Julia, Jack told Carly he'd meet her in Oakdale, after he'd talked to Julia.

Unfortunately for Carly, things wouldn't go smoothly. Although Jack did come back to Oakdale, he brought Julia and her son, JJ, with him. This development didn't sit too well with Carly and she had several run-ins with Julia, whom Carly accused of exploiting Jack's vulnerable state to keep him close. Carly's antagonism toward Julia only ended up alienating herself from Jack. Knowing that Jack considered Julia his real wife, Carly went to court and had Jack declared incompetent and had him placed in her custody. However, though Jack was now at home, he was colder than ever to Carly. After weeks of Jack being hostile, Carly tried to make him remember their past by tricking him into going to Montana. There she discussed their past and started reciting their wedding vows. Suddenly, Jack started remembering them too and his entire memory came flooding back! But even though his memory had returned, Jack still had a problem--he cared for both women. As Jack struggled with his choice, in the end Carly decided to make it easy for him and signed divorce papers. However, to her delight, Jack had already made his decision and tore them up.
