Martin Tourneur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Tourneur was a character on the now-cancelled American Soap opera Search for Tomorrow. He was played by John Aniston.

Martin was the uncle of Travis Sentell and was involved with his family's company, Tourneur Instruments. He made his first appearance when the hotel room he was living in caught fire while he was smoking in bed. The building, Henderson Towers, was built with a lot of cutting corners in construction. He met and fell in love with three-times widowed Joanne Gardner. However, his smoking and gambling irritated Joanne and she later divorced him, (Mary Stuart laughingly confessed that this was Jo's first divorce, after being widowed three times, and that made her the world's oldest ingenue).

What also annoyed him with Jo was that he was a constant womanizer, which may have also spelled the end of his marriage as well. He eventually left Henderson, and never came back. Because of his marriage to Jo, and Liza (who was the granddaughter of Stu Bergman) being married to his nephew Travis, this connected the Sentells to the show's remaining original characters.
