The affiliation with Erle Stanley Gardner and his writing staff explains a lot of why Edge was such a terrific show. The quality of both the writing and the acting kept me glued to the show for as long as I could meet its time frame. Changing it to 3:30 in the afternoon was a bummer as I was at work then. Thanks for the fascinating background. Loved hearing it , and am enjoying watching the episodes being shared on youtube now, even though they are disjointed and some of them are totally new to me.
My mother watched it in the 1950's I remember the opening still! Thank you for filling in the blanks!
It was a great one April 2,1956-December 28,1984.
Started watching The Edge of Night in the 60's right to the end, the infamous cliffhanger. I was hoping for the show to continue to resolve the plotline
at the very least but alas it did not happen - was really disappointed. I watch whatever episodes are available on CZcams but seems disjointed not watching said episodes in their original context. Thanks for your enlightening history of the show and why it ended as it did. Would really like to see a Where Are They Now video of the actors from the show - I know many of them are long gone but still would be good to see what the remaining actors are doing.
I was watching this show before i went to kindergarten!! lol
My favorite " period" was around the time Holland Taylor was on. She gave me nightmares! I loved Maeve Maguire but was truly partial to Jayne Bentzen as " Nicole Travis Drake Cavanagh". I loved Sharon Gabet, Frances Fisher, Terry Davis, Lois Kibbee, Ann Flood, Forrest Compton, Joe Lambie, Tony Craig, Joel Carruthers, Lori Cardille ( until they turned her character " psycho, played then by Stephanie Braxton). et al. Soooo many talented performers who brought excellent storylines to life. ( Are you listening Young and Restless? Lol).
"ADAMMMMM!!!! ADAMMMMMM!!!!"
Thank you so much for this information
Glad it was helpful! The show was everyone's afternoon babysitter in Canada
@@JJGovernorCarrier I was 10 when it went off the air I just remember the soap was different than the other soaps my mother watched the only soap I felt had the same type of action was one life to live
It was a bit early 1980s with its cine, like a Brit soap
I was about 5 when i first heard the theme song to the edge of night back in 79 i was hooked
Two of my favorite actresses, Lori Loughlin and the late Dixie Carter, were castmembers on EDGE. Entertainment industry, please give Lori a second chance!
Those who think the public is stupid becomes a parody...
That staircase looks like the Q' stairs on GH
