29A: ETA_GERES took (over) Gere's (actor's)

I'm stuck on the other two. Add a couple of letters to 18D:

??E?T?MA?? Are you sure about the E?

Do you have 23A ?

AJH - many thanks. Never heard of 23a.

Thought TOMATO was a possible.
1A cleared up 2D: ROUX (sauce) RUE (herb). Originally had MOLE - MOLY.
The NW corner is still very empty. Always have trouble with Lavatch

Regards

Almost finished now but still need:
19d Cracked puzzle's opener with speed; it generated solution. I have ?E?T?R?D (Not certain of the"R" - it came from 34a answered?)
36a Sailor's abandoning end of water course (6) AF?E?? is it afield?

19D could be PEPTIDES which are short chain polymers. An anagram of P (puzzle opener) + SPEED IT
