- PART 3. EON # 5315 September-7-1976. With Maeve McGuire, Dixie Carter, Tony Craig, Denny Albee, Niles McMaster and Paul Thomas.
This episode has a few short blackout spots where you can only hear the audio.
Story background:
After a boat explosion, Nicole suffered a memory loss and ended up spending time on an island owned by a mob doctor who had embezzled money and was in hiding. Fearing that Nicole could identify the location of his other hideaway, Paradise Island, the mobster sent a collection of assassins to eliminate Nicole before her memory could return.
One of those assassins, Van Rydell, has stalked Nicole for months. At one point, Adam Drake confronts Rydell, who pulls a gun. During the struggle, Adam is shot and is in a hospital room recovering during this episode.
Van Rydell then disguises himself as a cop, knocks Steve Guthrie unconscious and prepares to kill Nicole, but is shot before he can do it by Clay Jordan (another undercover mob guy). This episode begins in the hospital where Van is on the gurney struggling for his life.
Also included are a few scenes between Brandy and Draper Scott and Nicole and Steve Guthrie.
All of this is very titillating to me (I played Raven from 1977-1984) because during this 1976 episode, Ansel Scott (Draper’s father) is coming to town with Nadine and her daughter Raven. Ansel is going to marry Nadine, but Raven is currently having an affair with him. A few episodes after this one, Draper asks Brandy to marry him but she says she’s finished with romance. So Draper ends up being seduced by the “Ravenous Raven” who has been dumped by Ansel for her wealthy mother. Geraldine then asks Raven to move into the Whitney mansion with her and her adopted son Kevin. One year later, after the original Raven (Juanin Clay) left the show, I entered as the second Raven and Kevin became my first of eight soap husbands.
Loved seeing Maeve McGuire as Nicole after all these years. Bravo La Maeve!!! Both Tony Craig and Denny Albee were fantastic and it always a delight to see Dixie Carter as Brandy. Thanks for posting this episode, Miss Gabet.
Love the suspensful music between the scenes.....and Comet! Thanks again Sharon.
Thank you so much. Gosh the show was so different in the 80's from 1976! I do hope we will get to see Denise Norwood Cavanaugh....what a character!
I came on when Denise found out she was going to be a murderous villainess and knew she would be gone soon. She said to me, "Damn. Well thank God I've paid off the sofa." She is an exceptional actress and was very kind to me when I first got on the show.
I love these old videos! So wonderful!
Thank you, Sharon, for posting these videos. As you know, I am a BIG fan of The Edge of Night. I started watching when it switched over to ABC, but I never saw this episode. I watched it until it unfortunately got cancelled. It was the best!!
WOW! This is a treasure!! I love it! Thanks for preserving and rescuing this episode! ANd thanks for the story!
I didn't know or remember that Steve Guthrie (actor Denny Albee) was already on the show at this time and investigating who was trying to kill Nicole Drake. Interesting. I wish all the 70's episodes were available but every minute more is great to have and see. Thank you so much Sharon.
I wish there were more, too. You never know what will turn up though.
@@SharonRoseGabetI enjoy watching The Edge of Night. I even created two playlists. One highlights the death of characters, and the other highlights the weddings, including Raven marrying Jefferson Brown and Sky Whitney later on.
Thanks as always, Sharon.
The one things that never made sense to me in this episode is Clay wanting to silence Van Rydell and discredit anything he has to say. If Clay wants to know where Claude Revanant (formerly Gilbert Darcy) is, he should want to get as much information as possible out of Rydell. I'm not sure Slesar had fully thought through Clay's motives at this point.
I think Clay Jordan wanted to take the credit for himself and he later killed Phoebe Jamison and Quentin Henderson who both knew Jordan was a criminal.
Thanks for posting these, Sharon! :o)
Excellent!!
thank you so much.The world is A MESS so we need more than ever to escape.Bless ya for doing this.soaps nowdays are crap!!!!!RETRO IS GOLD
Yes. RETRO is GOLD.
A fine find. Thanks for sharin', Sharon!
This is a treasure and the commercials, especially the ones that feature the P&G brands and two fers, for example, the pairs of the Johnson Wax and General Foods products. Back then, i was too young to comprehend the soaps but the commercial breaks, sponsor billboard and the closing credits, those were the stuff that did it for me and still do😊
Great to see more Dixie Carter. Raven and Suzanne Sugarbaker could have been twins. Too bad Dixie's brief time as Dorian on OLTL seems lost. I have seen her "Doctors" episodes.
Still great to hear Hal Sims (?) doing the announcer duties- "Thee Eddddgggggge Of Night!"
I love it too!
I love it, it's so so old school.
Love the scene with Tony Craig & Dixie Carter, especially Draper's line that he "left his after dinner speeches downstairs", and Brandy's line, "May I suggest that you join them downstairs." lol.
Draper's pretty outdone here with Ansel, Nadine & Raven. Wish we could see more of Ansel & Nadine's arrival in Monticello for the trial and the wedding.
12:04 when Dixie Carter turned on the lamp the light came on before she could turn on the lamp. Lol
That's soap opera! haha
Never heard this version of the theme song
It's my favorite!
It was bitter/sweet to hear it at the end of the final episode.
@@rockyracoon3233 Yes! Mine too. It was truly lost, as it didn't last very long. Love those suspenseful chords. I actually made it my ringtone once.
Thank you, Sharon, for including the story background. I'd forgotten that Draper asked Brandy to marry him.
But then..He wouldn't have married April.. XD And have Delta Burke as a sister in-law !!
A good episode
7:03 - Wow, the music is so loud it's distorted.
7:18 - I can't make out what Nicole is dreaming about. It looks like a fog-covered abstract sculpture to me.
8:20 - I'd bet money (maybe $2.75) that the spiral staircase here was later used for the penthouse set.
15:24 - I'm only slightly embarrass to confess that I recently purchased the current day version of General Foods International coffee. The Suisse Mocha Cafe flavor, like Carol here. I was shopping at the Key Food, it caught my eye, so I threw it in my basket. Impulse buy. It's not bad. Kinda like a variation on hot cocoa.
15:49 - What does that little girl say to the little boy in the Tang commercial?
So Nicole is on a set with a spiral staircase but instead of a bust of an Egyptian pharoah, there's a 1970s brown refrigerator.
That’s The Barn. It’s in Oakville and was converted by Adam into a residence during the time Nicole was presumed drowned and he began a relationship with Brandy.
I had a neighbor that liked brown. She has brown fridge washer stove.
Notice how Brandi and Julia Sugarbaker have the same cadence of speech. So many years apart.
I’ll lay odds that Episode 5316 that aired on September 8, 1976 is when where Clay Jordon finishes Van Rydell off.
Very possible. I'm using tape dates that were written on the ¾ inch U-Matic that our EDGE sound editor found in his storage bin. He said he used to tape shows off the ABC feed while he was working on occasion. But I am seeing that all of them are not accurate.
Steve Guthrie is in this! What year is this from? I love the commercials included!
It’s from the week of SEPTEMBER 6 - 10, 1976.
@@markfaulkner5626 Mark I am glad you are an expert. Will you please inform me which episodes had the incident where a policeman had one of his toes broken because some woman was stomping hard on his foot 👣? The cop was Steve Guthrie. Thanks!
@@fredmore6214 OK, the episode with Steve's foot injury aired spring '78, maybe March or April.
@@hodjpodj3958 Thank you for helping. I will look for it in E of N 1978 episodes youtube. Did you ever get to watch this fun episode? What do you think?
@@markfaulkner5626 I wrote that too fast, I didn't see the YEAR is in the description! Thanks Mark. This is almost 3 years before I started watching it.
Sharon... you can never have enough soap husbands!
HAHAHA!! TRUE!!
I always wonder how after the 3rd one people keep a straight face. I guess the hope for true love never dies. I would be too embarrassed to invite people lol
Any chance we’ll see clips of the infamous Tony Saxon? Maybe his hired thug Raney Cooper?
Loved that story too but so far no tape has shown up. We never stop looking though...
@@SharonRoseGabet Of course Tony Saxon was married to Geraldine before his demise. And she remained Mrs. Saxon through the duration of the run.
Only tape I've seen Tony Saxon in was from 1978 (June or July?). On You Tube called Denise's Demise. There's a scene with Saxon having breakfast on the Whitney terrace and Geraldine after a talk with Deborah gets a phone call from Chief Bill Marceau.

Thanks for sharing. Very suspenseful episode. Weird seeing Dixie Carter's last months on the show, hearing her talk about Raven, etc. I knew they were on together briefly but still it never computed.
I'm sorry she was gone by the time I got there. Juanin Clay was playing Raven in 1977 up to September when I came on.
@@SharonRoseGabet A courtroom drama with Brandy and your Raven would have been riveting stuff.
Brandy mentions "Ravenous Raven." Was Raven on the show before this episode?
Yes, Raven had already arrived at this point, played by Juanin Clay who was quite lovely and fun, but not the force of nature that magnificent Sharon brought to the role.
So before April, Brandy was the woman in Draper's life... interesting.
I know! Shocked me too. And don't forget RAVEN. Draper and Raven had a dalliance before April came onto the scene.
@@SharonRoseGabet ah, another piece of the puzzle that helps explain the April/Raven relationship.
@@SharonRoseGabet Wow Draper Scott, actor Tony Craig, sure got around in the mid 1970's. But from what I read so did his father Ansel Scott.
10:34 - Sung to the tune of "The River Kwai March":
Comet, it makes your mouth so clean
Comet, it tastes like Listerine
I remember hearing about some people brushing with Comet to whiten their teeth. Yikes.
Who is the man Steve Guthrie is talking to in the hallway of the hospital?
Clay Jordan. Clay was supposedly a doctor who was helping Nicole recover her memory in Paris. He was brought to Monticello to help Geraldine when she was comatose after a murder attempt. It later turned out that Clay was actually working for people who trying to find Claude Revenant, the man who had held Nicole initially after she was presumed killed. Clay owed a debt to loan sharks and was desperate to find out the location of Revenant’s island. He ended up killing Brandy’s brother Quentin Henderson, Chief Marceau’s daughter Phoebe, and kidnapped and tried to kill Nicole when he realized that she didn’t know how to find Revenant.
@@markfaulkner5626 Clay Jordan was played by Niles McMaster.
@@jeffreymcdaniel6813 Yes. He’s an excellent artist now and a very nice man.
Hold up. Phoebe was Chief Marceau's daughter? Wow! Dude had cojones of steel to kill the chief of police's daughter. If memory serves, Clay drugged her, which caused her to crash her car, and she died of her injuries. It looked like an accident. He was an evil guy.
He was also pretty hot... that wavy blonde hair... plump lips... the tan... the shirt unbuttoned down to the navel...
@@smellykellyjay I guess that you got all that from one quick glance?!!😅
Where was EDGE taped while airing on CBS?
CBS Studio #61 [Monroe Theater, 1456 First Avenue, NYC] (1956)
CBS Studio #63/64 [205 East 67th Street, NYC] (1956-60)
CBS Studio #61/#53 [Monroe Theater, 1456 First Avenue, NYC] (1960 - November 1975)
Screen Gems Studio [222 East 44th Street, NYC] (November 1975 - December 1984)
Oh, one more thing - what was the Barn?
Did they nurse say oakdale emergency?
Oakville Emergency.
@@markfaulkner5626 I need to adjust my hearing aids. Thanks
I thought it was Oakdale. That's the same place where April and Draper's house was.
@@smellykellyjay Ha ha, Oakville is out of town in the opposite direction.
@@smellykellyjay Oakdale was a suburb of Monticello and like Monticello, located in Monticello County. According to April, Oakdale was about a 20 minute drive from downtown Monticello. Oakdale didn’t exist on the show until May 1979.
Oakville was a small rural town in Graham County, 60 miles north of Monticello. It was first mentioned in 1971 when Chief of Police Bill Marceau and wife Martha bought a “haunted” house there. In 1975 Adam found an old barn in Oakville and converted it in
to a home.
