I'll second that! I knew this show before I knew my ABCs! ......and I miss it. The way soaps are now, no wonder there's only 4 left...... None of which can hold a candle to this one. Where's Deborah Saxon when you need her? Or Denise Cavanagh for that matter! Lol
It's the correct ending. This was a show about crime, mystery, suspense. Not happy endings. Edge of Night without danger isn't Edge of Night. There will always be danger lurking in the shadows of Monticello. I don't like it when soaps end as if all problems have suddenly been solved, after decades of trials, tribulations--how does that work? It would be a violation of the fictional reality this show takes place in. This way, we know they're still out there, facing threats, solving mysteries. Some will fall, others will rise to replace them. It's not sad at all. Sad would be if they just suddenly found themselves in a boring bourgeois reality. I'm glad Miles and his new bride are happy. But of course we remember what happened to his previous bride, and know the same could happen again. Or Miles could die. Or maybe they survive a while. But nobody survives forever. That's not just a soap thing. No happy endings. Just happy interludes--with Night waiting there on the edge. Sorry, got carried away, but I consider this the best ending any daytime drama ever had. They ended it without ending it. Leaving us to tell the next story in our heads. Perfect.
What a eerily nostalgic way to end the show with yet another cliffhanger murder mystery packed with intrigue, just the way this show thrived for years. I miss this show.
There are so many unresolved issues that a cancelled soap can have. There is the thinking that there is a very small chance that the soap could be revived at some time and somewhere.
I found Edge of Night by seeing commercials for it on old General Hospital CZcams videos a couple of years ago. It quickly became my “must see” and my very favorite. Thank for everyone involved in bringing this to us . This is such a treasure. I will be rewatching and watching the lost video and following the Facebook pages. Thank you so very much for all the time , work and efforts to make this wonderful show available
I was young when this aired, my mom & dad watched this show after he got home from work(don't tell anybody!). Mom's best thing was when Mike Kerr realized Adam Drake was FINALLY going to marry Nicole Travis.
And this wraps up our two year run of THE EDGE OF NIGHT. Thank you Jennifer Taylor for providing this episode direct from ABC New York as it originally aired on Dec 28 1984. Jennifer is not only a very talented actress, but an accomplished painter too. Please go to her website and show your support for our Chris Egan! paintedboardstudio.com/
Just as I remembered it. With the end credits playing out with no voice-over interruptions, and the crawl continuing after the theme music stops. That just made it all the more poignant. EON FOREVER!!!!!
Well since no other station since USA Network in the 80s had decided to run the best soap on TV, I felt I needed to step up to bat! Thanks for watching Ken. I am still looking for more Edge and when I find it, it will be posted here so stay tuned!
I think they deliberately made such a tricky ending with no solution to show that crime and mystery will continue in Monticello. That said, I did start writing a screenplay continuation at one point. Graphic novels would be cool too.
Well, a while back....Aug. 2016, I believe....I just had a thought if there were any full episodes of The Edge Of Night on CZcams. So, when I searched and found that not only were there full episodes, but , for the most part, there were episodes that went back to 1979 and up until the final episode....I was overjoyed!! Now I've come to the end of an epic binge watching experience that I completely enjoyed!! I came in with the memories of Sky and Raven, my crush on Miles and Preacher, my fondness for Geraldine, Nicole (Lisa Sloan), Didi and Calvin, Gunther and ...oh, sweet Mitzi!! My most vivid was of Nora's death on camera and of Wonderland Lane...I was very excited over this as it reminded me of The Avengers( one of my favorite tv shows), but also because Alice In Wonderland is also a favorite (eternally disappointed that I'll never know the conclusion to that storyline!!). Now I leave with those and many more...the realization that there was a reason that Sky and Raven were the super couple of this show, Sky and Raven's first meeting, the introduction of Nora, Cliff's bottom lip, Jaime's New York accent ("Guntha!"), Preacher's jeans, Geraldine's epic eye rolls, Mitzi's reaction to seeing Gunther in one of Louis Van Dine's "rooms" (lmao), Mitzi and Gunther apparently ending up together, Nicole's riveting and shocking death and lastly Raven's smile and laughter. So my many thanks and deep gratitude to The Edge of Night Man and to Mr. EDGE80s for this amazing trip down memory lane. This show has a special place in my heart for many reasons...you know, Mr.EDGEE80s!! Again thank you, thank you!! Sincerely!
I am working on a hopefully big surprise with another fan and a former actor on Edge Vince. Keep your fingers crossed hopefully later this year I may have something very cool to screen!
Been really busy with work and not watching regularly, being a theater stage manager work easily takes over, but thank you for bringing back this wonderful show.
Thank you Elis, that makes me feel great! I am happy to do it. And I hope to have some Edgie surprises for everyone very soon if my contacts pan out. In the meantime, hope you get to hear this interview I did with Sharon, Mariann and Jennifer Taylor on our final episode screening from last month. www.blogtalkradio.com/njpai/2017/01/29/the-life-and-times-of-the-edge-of-night
The greatest Soap Opera ever made! As a kid, I watched reruns with my Grandma who recorded every episode on VHS tapes. I watched nearly every episode from the late 70s early 80's. It was so much more exciting than the soaps my mom watched such as Y&R (still boring imo). It was so good, I miss quality shows like this and omg did I ever have a crush on Sky Whitney- gorgeous man.
I did not watch this when it was but I think this was a great show. I’m sad I don’t have anymore to watch. Thank you very much for posting all of these. They were great to watch.
😢As of July 2024, the Edge of Night will be off the air almost 40 years. It just seems like yesterday l said good bye to my family and friends❤ Rememberibg in coastal Mississippi 👋🐻🤠

After watching this episode once again most people would say that TEON just burned out. As the saying goes though, "Something cannot burn out unless its on fire!"😊💪👍
Thank you Dan, I had the biggest thrill ever being a part of Sharon, Jennifer and Mariann's interview. Sharon, Paige and I are planning another one, this time we hope to get to the many questions we had but never got to ask. And....if all goes well with this deal I am working on, I may have a few Edge video surprises up my sleeve. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
It would have been nice for the show to include a montage of pictures of memorable performers of the show, such as Mandel Kramer and Teri Keane (the Marceaus), and Donald May and Maeve McGuire (Adam and Nicole).
I wish Donald May, Mandel Kramer and Teri Keane would have stayed with the show to the end. Along with Forrest Compton and Ann Flood, they all were the show.
IT WAS MY SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND CHRISTMAS VACATION I WAS SO SO SAD , PISSED AND JUST ANGRY I HAD BEEB WATCHING THE SHOW FOR OHH ABOUT 10 YRS I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER SYKLAR AND RAVEN❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much my friend for EON!!!!!!!!You made one of my wishes came true!!!!!!!!..............looking forward to more EDGE as u said to another fan in here.hopefully u can fill in the gap with the eps posted by the other EDGEFAN here on yt and hopefully always in 720hd(hey remember it was my suggestion).You are forever blessed in my book!!!!!!!HATS OFF TO YA my friend.big hugs ciao
I wish I had the Dec 80 to June 81 but I do not. I have been trying to find copies for 25 years to no avail. But I will posting better quality for 1981 and 1982 in the coming months. Thank you for watching MM...you were one of my first posters!
Hey there thanks so much once again and yes i was there from the beginning supporting you!!!!!!!!and thanking you.............and still cant believe you accomplished your mission!!!!!!looking forward to more and and how about that Lee Sheldon's interview u had mentioned a while back,what happened to that?
I made contact with Mr Sheldon earlier this year and he had mentioned he would be interested in getting copies of these episodes on dvd, which I had gladly offered to do. And also he said after his school semester in the summer he would answer any questions I had. Unfortunately, any further contacts with him have not produced a response.....
I have watched from Oct 2016... my first.. and i started watching youtube Oct 1984 and i have really loved this!! thank you... really.. thank you.... ah fun.. there are great actors, these characters and sets... wow.. 😉😊🤘❤📺🎬🎭 Now I'm going to look, more Edge of Night these years... thanks
I know Forrest Compton will always be iconic as Mike to Soap Opera fans but he'll always be Colonel Gray from GOMER PYLE to me. Kind of a straight man to Gomer and Sgt Carter's schtick.
Alicia could have made an excellent long term thorn in Sky/Raven's side..yet.functioned well outside their orbit. Since no body was found in Wonderland Ln...still think she didn't really get killed
28:40 "Tom Stallone" HI DAD!!!! Yes!! Tom Stallone is my dad and he worked in this show! Arie and Eddie are his best friends and i actually met them, this is how they met and if u dont believe me dont believe me! Thats fine! Because even if u dont believe me its true anyway :)
The Edge of Night was originally intended to be the daytime version of Perry Mason, but author Erle Stanley Gardner pulled out of the project and the show was retooled, with the radio actor who played Mason.
The reason the episode ended with unfinished business (Mike Karr's dialogue fading into the closing credits) was because producers were hoping to continue to produce the show in first-run syndication, and wanted to leave a dangling thread to pick up on, should the happen, though it ultimately didn't happen. However, the USA network did rerun much of the ABC episodes of "Edge" during late-nights for a few years during the mid-'80s.
That’s very true they were in negotiations to do new episodes. USA network was interested but at the time they were a brand new net work and did not have the financial back up to produce new shows. So they opted to pick up the reruns. It would’ve been a very unusual new edge of night had they continued on in 1985 because already the show had lost many of its key players such as Sharon Gabet and Larkin Malloy Who both departed two other Procter & Gamble shows during the final episode. It may have been a completely different cast had it been allowed to continue.
Channel 13 Baltimore canceled it in the middle of Logan's death plot. I was to find its backhaul 5 months later on C-Band satellite. I was able to see it to the end that way. Skye was handsome, Miles was good looking, Wiley, Kelly, Preacher and Jodi were all good young characters. It was quite ashame about Forrest Compton's death due to Covid 19.
I hardly recognize anyone in this final episode. After 1981 or so, I didn't get to see the show as much, in the Detroit area it began airing at 10:30 in the morning! What a ridiculous time for this show!
This was a good ending. It got scrapped in Sacramento but thanks to fringe viewing, I was able to watch it by getting signals from KGO San Francisco and if I wanted to see it again , it would air at 10am on KOLO Reno. It also made me a fan of some of the background music they used by Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel-Jarre and Synergy. Long live EON
The reason why the episode ended in mid-story was that the producers were shopping EoN to other networks, including cable. But the program never re-appeared.
I seen in a comment last night that there was a storyline that went something like this: Guy operated out of a building sending subliminal messages via TV Sets, later kidnapped Clint and Mitzi and subjected them to mental torture, I would like to find the episodes for this storyline because it sounds interesting. Also Edge Of Night needs a revival in primetime once a week and continue from the cliffhanger.
Hi Scott, thanks for your interest. I sure do have that story and it was a great one for sure. You want to start here around this time is when the story kicks into place. It starts out slow but will pick up considerably as the weeks go on. If you not familiar with the characters or the storylines you really need to start here. czcams.com/video/wK6EnUGZsCE/video.html But if you want to jump ahead right into the thick of things, go here. czcams.com/video/Fn-xhPCCTtc/video.html Your choice. But i do recommend starting at with the first link. Thanks!
@@Edgeofnight80s Thank you for the links I started watching and I went with the first link because it's been a while up to that time that I watched this awesome soap. I'm currently right now up to July 1 and this so far is really good, who murdered Nicole please no one in the comments tell me I've not seen, it is getting really good. I wish someone would continue on from the cliffhanger and put this on in primetime, I'm not as familiar with the characters as so many others are, I am learning some of the characters.
@@scootover7 No Spoilers! Glad you started there! This is one of my favorite storylines. If there are any video issues or any episodes missing let me know and I will re-upload. . Every now and then a video goes black due to music copyrights. Enjoy Scott!
By 1984, the writing of this once-fine series was in the toilet (Lee Sheldon was no Henry Slesar), and the core of the show had been gutted. Still, it's a shame TEON could not be repaired and salvaged.
MattFrame Hear, hear!! Also, I didn't like how this became the Sky & Raven show. I thought Sharon Gabet was too common to play a character that moved in wealthy and influential circles. I didn't really care too much for Larkin Malloy/Sky Whitney, or Charles Flohe (now Grant)/Preacher. I think I liked Sharon Gabet's portrayal of Melinda Cramer on One Life To Live. I think that maybe the character of Gavin Wylie should've been expanded, or maybe the character of Damien Tyler Wilcox should've been kept on through the series end. I dunno, just thinking out loud. Too bad the series evolved to this conclusion.
since P&G was looking to get out ot the ''soap-making biz'', it stands to reason why no effort ws made..ditto, SFT, AW, then later, ATWT and GL..they're all gone and P&G got out of the soap-making biz as intended..also, it's easy to tell when TPTB are looking to get rid of a show: neither LoL or SS were retooled towards continued success, either.....
I remember the end of this. At the end, they were playing the theme to "Sophie's Choice". I had tears in my eyes. The end of my fav soap of all time.. EON ALWAYS!!
When I came home from high school this show would be ending the show was on , not sure why it was only 30 minutes but I think it had to do with Oprah Winfrey show was on between the news
Bring back The Edge of Night I bet you any soaps on a non censored channel so daytime dramas could thrive in a rebooted dramatic form. So tired of lame talk and reality shows which a cheaply done programs thrashed out on tv for far too long.
Lee Sheldon said later on during his visits to fan boards in the 90s, that they planned a return of Lisa Sloan to cause strife for Miles and Beth. She looked like Nicole to Miles, but was she? The inspiration of the story was Hitchcock's Vertigo.
That was the series finale in 12/28/84. So the USA Network pick up "Edge of Night" on reruns a year later. Thanks to both Procter & Gamble and Paramount Pictures.
Eric Tate.....They tried. Nick Nicholson and P and G almost had a deal with NBC but it fell through at the last minute. (NBC had terrible ratings for Search for Tomorrow when they picked it up from CBS) Then they tried to get it into first run syndication. The USA Network was new at the time and they were very interested because their programming at the time was all mystery and crime drama genre. HOwever they couldn't come up with a suitable budget to maintain new episodes. As a consolation, USA picked up the final 3 and a 1/2 years of reruns and that's why we have all these great episodes saved on fan tapes.
@@Edgeofnight80s Yes, thank you! I found it and just finished watching it! I love the music "Just you and I" that they were married with. It was very beautiful!
Five years ago I watched this episode and decided to go back to 1979 and work my way forward, and now I'm back here-all caught up! But there are lost episodes out there for me to discover!
What episodes circa early to mid 1980s did the cable company transmit subliminal messages in to homes. Also some guy kidnapped and held in room where high frequencies were used for mind control
That was the ISIS building storyline and you can see it complete on my page starting with the episodes from Mid June 1983. It starts out with the Limping Man and he is later revealed to be Van Dyne who runs the ISIS building. If you want to see just the ISIS building subliminal storyline it starts here. czcams.com/video/8N6vnJJs2Jc/video.html
They went to hell the show did after Margo's murder and the Molly Sherwood mysteries. When Nicole went off there too you killed off a major character which made no sense at all old classic Edge was where it was at.
Wow the last episode I c they had the Alice in Wonderland going concept going. Chris Egan comes back after escaping from Donald Hext with the cops & everything looks completely different. 😂😂😂. Smh
Schuyler Whitney had look in the final scene of where did this sword came if Donald Hext & Louis Van had any sense they would stay far away him because that guy between him & Jefferson Brown got @ least 4 bodies that I know but I only really ⌚ about 29 months before it was cancelled they need to bring that program back & pick up right where they left @ 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Hmmm… I guess I missed a LOT more episodes than I thought that I did. 🤔 😀 .. So, hey fellow fans, please get me up to date?? QUESTION: how is this the “final episode” when I see Skylar & Gunther in it? I have seen some episodes where Gunther was killed by Skylar (Jefferson Brown) & that Skylar (Jefferson Brown) was killed by someone who saw him skiing with Raven. 🤷🏼♀️
This is the last episode that ABC aired. There were no more. You will have to please watch the episodes in order by the dates. Not in the order I posted them on CZcams. I started posting episodes with 1983-84 then moved into 1979-1983. If you reveiw all my video posts you can locate the earliest posts and watch them in order. I am sorry if they are somewhat mixed. The reason why I started posting 83-84 first is because I did episode reviews on Sharon Gabet's Facebook page for all the episodes from JUne 83-December 84 back in 2015. Then we moved backward to 1981 and I started posting those next.
@@Edgeofnight80s Hi, thank you for your reply. 😊 I didn’t see those 2 get killed in any of the videos that you posted; I saw it happen on other channel(s) on here. Still, I don’t see how if they were both killed before the final episode took place, how can they later ‘appear’ in the final episode then.. no matter where I saw it at. ☺️ No need to answer; just a rhetorical question now.
@@valiredavis2534 Sorry but I do just want to reply for the benefit of others that my be confused. When Sky first came on the show in 1979 we later found out he was an imposter posing as the real Sky. Ditto for Gunther. The Gunther that was killed was the twin brother of the Gunther on this last episode. The Sky in this final show is the real Sky who came to town in April 82, just mere months after the imposter Sky was killed in Switzerland. All these episodes are available to view on my channel here. :) Thank you for watching.
@@Edgeofnight80s OMGoodness… WOW!!! 😁 Thank you a TON for coming back & clearing up my confusion. 👍 I was watching the show waaaaay back then in the 80s, but had forgotten a BUNCH of things. - I only started watching again last month thanks to great people like you posting them. I really appreciate you for letting me know all of this; I fo SHO understand now. 😀
Had to dislike, but only because this is the final episode. I'm not sure if you have seen some of the updated 'Edge' credits created by DS9Disko during the last few years. I ran across them a while back. They are incredible! It would be amazing to see an announcement of an 'Edge' reboot with credits similar to these. Jamey and Charlotte Whitney would be central characters along with Raven. czcams.com/video/oA5DbWdX8IA/video.html czcams.com/video/8tv1BZbKBPU/video.html czcams.com/video/VScSicnACcc/video.html
It was left open Brian because at the time they were negotiating with NBC to add it to their lineup and when that fell through the production company tried in vain to get it in the first run syndication with USA network. Sadly the backing in the funding wasn’t there so USA network opted to pick up repeats of the program starting in June 1981 which is what you’re seeing here on this page.
Hard to believe, 33 years ago today Edge aired it's final show. One of the very best soap operas in TV history.
Tommy Parker. Very true!
I'll second that! I knew this show before I knew my ABCs! ......and I miss it. The way soaps are now, no wonder there's only 4 left...... None of which can hold a candle to this one. Where's Deborah Saxon when you need her? Or Denise Cavanagh for that matter! Lol
It was a sad ending to a fantastic show, but at least it ended with dignity!! LONG LIVE THE EDGE OF NIGHT!
It's the correct ending. This was a show about crime, mystery, suspense. Not happy endings. Edge of Night without danger isn't Edge of Night. There will always be danger lurking in the shadows of Monticello. I

I wish I had the Dec 80 to June 81 but I do not. I have been trying to find copies for 25 years to no avail. But I will posting better quality for 1981 and 1982 in the coming months. Thank you for watching MM...you were one of my first posters!
Hey there thanks so much once again and yes i was there from the beginning supporting you!!!!!!!!and thanking you.............and still cant believe you accomplished your mission!!!!!!looking forward to more and and how about that Lee Sheldon's interview u had mentioned a while back,what happened to that?
I made contact with Mr Sheldon earlier this year and he had mentioned he would be interested in getting copies of these episodes on dvd, which I had gladly offered to do. And also he said after his school semester in the summer he would answer any questions I had. Unfortunately, any further contacts with him have not produced a response.....
I have watched from Oct 2016... my first.. and i started watching youtube Oct 1984 and i have really loved this!! thank you... really.. thank you.... ah fun.. there are great actors, these characters and sets... wow.. 😉😊🤘❤📺🎬🎭
Now I'm going to look, more Edge of Night these years... thanks
I know Forrest Compton will always be iconic as Mike to Soap Opera fans but he'll always be Colonel Gray from GOMER PYLE to me. Kind of a straight man to Gomer and Sgt Carter's schtick.
Forrest died of COVID-19 a few years ago. Sad ending.
@@donaldkennedy9573 I didn't realize that. Now that's F'ed up.
@@maestroclassico5801en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Compton
Never really watched this Show I knew the name but I must admit this looks like a good show
From the time I can remember anything as a kid, until I started college, I L O V E D The Edge of Night! Was really sad when they took it off the air!
Alicia could have made an excellent long term thorn in Sky/Raven's side..yet.functioned well outside their orbit. Since no body was found in Wonderland Ln...still think she didn't really get killed
I agree.

"Tom Stallone" HI DAD!!!!
Yes!! Tom Stallone is my dad and he worked in this show! Arie and Eddie are his best friends and i actually met them, this is how they met and if u dont believe me dont believe me! Thats fine! Because even if u dont believe me its true anyway :)
Has your Dad shared any of his memories about working on the show? How long was he a crew member?
The Edge of Night was originally intended to be the daytime version of Perry Mason, but author Erle Stanley Gardner pulled out of the project and the show was retooled, with the radio actor who played Mason.
Cry cry cry....miss you Edge!
Dana Delaney in that popular club commercial.
Thank you for the episode!!! And are you going to upload again the missing episode from august 1980?? Thank you!
still sad of the day it went off the air ty
Agree.
My all time favorite Soap
The reason the episode ended with unfinished business (Mike Karr's dialogue fading into the closing credits) was because producers were hoping to continue to produce the show in first-run syndication, and wanted to leave a dangling thread to pick up on, should the happen, though it ultimately didn't happen. However, the USA network did rerun much of the ABC episodes of "Edge" during late-nights for a few years during the mid-'80s.
That’s very true they were in negotiations to do new episodes. USA network was interested but at the time they were a brand new net work and did not have the financial back up to produce new shows. So they opted to pick up the reruns. It would’ve been a very unusual new edge of night had they continued on in 1985 because already the show had lost many of its key players such as Sharon Gabet and Larkin Malloy Who both departed two other Procter & Gamble shows during the final episode. It may have been a completely different cast had it been allowed to continue.
OMG The Popular Club catalog!!! Wowww I forgot all about that lol
Channel 13 Baltimore canceled it in the middle of Logan's death plot. I was to find its backhaul 5 months later on C-Band satellite. I was able to see it to the end that way. Skye was handsome, Miles was good looking, Wiley, Kelly, Preacher and Jodi were all good young characters. It was quite ashame about Forrest Compton's death due to Covid 19.
That's terrible they couldn't wait to finish out the run. So sad
I hardly recognize anyone in this final episode. After 1981 or so, I didn't get to see the show as much, in the Detroit area it began airing at 10:30 in the morning! What a ridiculous time for this show!
That fake snow though lol
This was a good ending. It got scrapped in Sacramento but thanks to fringe viewing, I was able to watch it by getting signals from KGO San Francisco and if I wanted to see it again , it would air at 10am on KOLO Reno. It also made me a fan of some of the background music they used by Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel-Jarre and Synergy. Long live EON
This was the show that went Game of Thrones and had a Brother and Sister get Married.
Who were the characters? Was that the Paige Madison storyline?
Paige and Brian learned they were not blood siblings after all. Still, it was a little strange to watch.
I miss this show.
The reason why the episode ended in mid-story was that the producers were shopping EoN to other networks, including cable. But the program never re-appeared.
Also, thanks to eonschuylerwhitne!!!! Deeply grateful!!
Wow, was not expecting this ending!
This ending should never happen like this
@@erictate4943 How do u think it should have ended?
There’s Marcia Cross before she was Kimberly Shaw on Melrose Place.
Actually, it was before she was Kate Sanders on One Life To Live.
There is only one Jody Travis, and THAT wasn't her. "Have Mercy"
I seen in a comment last night that there was a storyline that went something like this: Guy operated out of a building sending subliminal messages via TV Sets, later kidnapped Clint and Mitzi and subjected them to mental torture, I would like to find the episodes for this storyline because it sounds interesting. Also Edge Of Night needs a revival in primetime once a week and continue from the cliffhanger.
Hi Scott, thanks for your interest. I sure do have that story and it was a great one for sure. You want to start here around this time is when the story kicks into place. It starts out slow but will pick up considerably as the weeks go on. If you not familiar with the characters or the storylines you really need to start here. czcams.com/video/wK6EnUGZsCE/video.html But if you want to jump ahead right into the thick of things, go here. czcams.com/video/Fn-xhPCCTtc/video.html Your choice. But i do recommend starting at with the first link. Thanks!
@@Edgeofnight80s Thank you for the links I started watching and I went with the first link because it's been a while up to that time that I watched this awesome soap. I'm currently right now up to July 1 and this so far is really good, who murdered Nicole please no one in the comments tell me I've not seen, it is getting really good. I wish someone would continue on from the cliffhanger and put this on in primetime, I'm not as familiar with the characters as so many others are, I am learning some of the characters.
@@scootover7 No Spoilers! Glad you started there! This is one of my favorite storylines. If there are any video issues or any episodes missing let me know and I will re-upload. . Every now and then a video goes black due to music copyrights. Enjoy Scott!
I don’t remember his name, but the one guy, with the killer, was a classic soap villain!
Always kinda wanted Gunther and Mitzey as a couple
I also liked Mitzey with Cliff.
@@renealexander2703 I loved Mitzi and Cliff. Could see her with Marty Stillwater. But in the end she has to go back with Cliff in my headcanon.
By 1984, the writing of this once-fine series was in the toilet (Lee Sheldon was no Henry Slesar), and the core of the show had been gutted. Still, it's a shame TEON could not be repaired and salvaged.
MattFrame Hear, hear!! Also, I didn't like how this became the Sky & Raven show.
I thought Sharon Gabet was too common to play a character that moved in wealthy and influential circles.
I didn't really care too much for Larkin Malloy/Sky Whitney, or Charles Flohe (now Grant)/Preacher.
I think I liked Sharon Gabet's portrayal of Melinda Cramer on One Life To Live.
I think that maybe the character of Gavin Wylie should've been expanded, or maybe the character of Damien Tyler Wilcox should've been kept on through the series end.
I dunno, just thinking out loud.
Too bad the series evolved to this conclusion.
Blake West. If only the Fox network had been around to pick up the show and move to 11:00 at night and make it a "viewer discretion advised" show!
O
since P&G was looking to get out ot the ''soap-making biz'', it stands to reason why no effort ws made..ditto, SFT, AW, then later, ATWT and GL..they're all gone and P&G got out of the soap-making biz as intended..also, it's easy to tell when TPTB are looking to get rid of a show: neither LoL or SS were retooled towards continued success, either.....
I agree about Lee Sheldon. Bad fit all around for this show. Spelled the end when he came.
What instrumental was underscoring Miles and Beth's lovemaking towards the end?
Marvin Hamlisch "Sophie's Choice" Love Theme was used for that. The song would later in the 80s appear on other ABC soaps.
@@Edgeofnight80s His score has earned him an 1983 Oscar nod and put him back on the map as one of
Hollywood's greatest composers.
I remember the end of this. At the end, they were playing the theme to "Sophie's Choice". I had tears in my eyes. The end of my fav soap of all time.. EON ALWAYS!!
When I came home from high school this show would be ending the show was on , not sure why it was only 30 minutes but I think it had to do with Oprah Winfrey show was on between the news
Henry Slesar was gone at this point as Head Writer
Every young woman looks like Meg Ryan. Also, there's grannie sanders from OLTL
R.I.P. Dorothy Stinnette (10.23.23) Nadine Alexander - Raven's mother.
Didn’t Larkin Malloy date Marcia Cross while EON was in production?
Yes they did for a little bit...and were featured together on Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in 1986.
Memories ❤❤❤
Eighties soaps had more of a darker edgier environment . Miss those days
The last great storys was nola madison story and april draper emily story....after that...terrible
Nola Madison - Kim Hunter.
Bring back The Edge of Night I bet you any soaps on a non censored channel so daytime dramas could thrive in a rebooted dramatic form. So tired of lame talk and reality shows which a cheaply done programs thrashed out on tv for far too long.
I believe Larkin Malloy was already working on guidung light
Yes! The last two days of Edge, Guiding Light would send a car to pick him up to tape his scenes in the afternoon
So Liz and Preacher suddenly don't have a car?
Had the show continued to 1985, Hext would’ve come back to settle the score with Sky who “killed” him in the sword fight.
Lee Sheldon said later on during his visits to fan boards in the 90s, that they planned a return of Lisa Sloan to cause strife for Miles and Beth. She looked like Nicole to Miles, but was she? The inspiration of the story was Hitchcock's Vertigo.
That would have been interesting to see how the story would have played out.
That was the series finale in 12/28/84. So the USA Network pick up "Edge of Night" on reruns a year later.
Thanks to both Procter & Gamble and Paramount Pictures.
Did they mention any other potential storylines before they knew of the cancellation?
They could have moved some of the EON characters to another P&G soap such as Guiding Light.
39 years of today edge of night said goodbye
I have been getting ideas for a movie based on TEON!😊
With Johnny Depp as Preacher?
Jerry Hinkle. Not a bad choice!
How come in 1984 eon no network never pick up eon
Eric Tate.....They tried. Nick Nicholson and P and G almost had a deal with NBC but it fell through at the last minute. (NBC had terrible ratings for Search for Tomorrow when they picked it up from CBS) Then they tried to get it into first run syndication. The USA Network was new at the time and they were very interested because their programming at the time was all mystery and crime drama genre. HOwever they couldn't come up with a suitable budget to maintain new episodes. As a consolation, USA picked up the final 3 and a 1/2 years of reruns and that's why we have all these great episodes saved on fan tapes.
27:16 the best
I always thought Larkin Malloy would've made an excellent James Bond the only problem was he was born in 🇺🇸 not England.
I am sad that I did not get to see the actual wedding between Miles and Beth. I hope I can find it because I want to see it!
@Michael Tilly The wedding is here on my channel. Episode 12/27/84 czcams.com/video/gyHwntAm0Wc/video.html
@@Edgeofnight80s Yes, thank you! I found it and just finished watching it! I love the music "Just you and I" that they were married with. It was very beautiful!
Alicia in Wonderland? Lame! Thanks for all the work you put in. Now I'll dust off the Wayback machine and go back to-say 1979 and start over!
Five years ago I watched this episode and decided to go back to 1979 and work my way forward, and now I'm back here-all caught up! But there are lost episodes out there for me to discover!
What episodes circa early to mid 1980s did the cable company transmit subliminal messages in to homes. Also some guy kidnapped and held in room where high frequencies were used for mind control
That was the ISIS building storyline and you can see it complete on my page starting with the episodes from Mid June 1983. It starts out with the Limping Man and he is later revealed to be Van Dyne who runs the ISIS building. If you want to see just the ISIS building subliminal storyline it starts here. czcams.com/video/8N6vnJJs2Jc/video.html
In less than a year from the original broadcast of this episode of EOM, Joel Crothers would be dead at the age of 44.
Joel Crothers died of AIDS.
Joel Crothers died from AIDS related illness.
Was that Raven at the end of the scene?
Yes!
Too bad they broke up Jody and Preacher, they were a cute couple.
I didn't see the chemistry between Karrie Emerson's Jody with Preacher
@@nightowlchadI agree, Lori as Jody had much more chemistry with Preacher, but it's just the idea.
They went to hell the show did after Margo's murder and the Molly Sherwood mysteries. When Nicole went off there too you killed off a major character which made no sense at all old classic Edge was where it was at.
Wow the last episode I c they had the Alice in Wonderland going concept going. Chris Egan comes back after escaping from Donald Hext with the cops & everything looks completely different. 😂😂😂. Smh
Wow I c the limping man aka Louis Van Dine never really forget who cause his accident to his leg waited to get the payback on final finale. 😲 😂😂😂😂
Schuyler Whitney had look in the final scene of where did this sword came if Donald Hext & Louis Van had any sense they would stay far away him because that guy between him & Jefferson Brown got @ least 4 bodies that I know but I only really ⌚ about 29 months before it was cancelled they need to bring that program back & pick up right where they left @ 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
That that Jimmy Page Death Wish rift. 2:59
Hmmm… I guess I missed a LOT more episodes than I thought that I did. 🤔
😀 .. So, hey fellow fans, please get me up to date??
QUESTION: how is this the “final episode” when I see Skylar & Gunther in it?
I have seen some episodes where Gunther was killed by Skylar (Jefferson Brown) & that Skylar (Jefferson Brown) was killed by someone who saw him skiing with Raven. 🤷🏼♀️
This is the last episode that ABC aired. There were no more. You will have to please watch the episodes in order by the dates. Not in the order I posted them on CZcams. I started posting episodes with 1983-84 then moved into 1979-1983. If you reveiw all my video posts you can locate the earliest posts and watch them in order. I am sorry if they are somewhat mixed. The reason why I started posting 83-84 first is because I did episode reviews on Sharon Gabet's Facebook page for all the episodes from JUne 83-December 84 back in 2015. Then we moved backward to 1981 and I started posting those next.
@@Edgeofnight80s Hi, thank you for your reply. 😊
I didn’t see those 2 get killed in any of the videos that you posted; I saw it happen on other channel(s) on here.
Still, I don’t see how if they were both killed before the final episode took place, how can they later ‘appear’ in the final episode then.. no matter where I saw it at. ☺️
No need to answer; just a rhetorical question now.
@@valiredavis2534 Sorry but I do just want to reply for the benefit of others that my be confused. When Sky first came on the show in 1979 we later found out he was an imposter posing as the real Sky. Ditto for Gunther. The Gunther that was killed was the twin brother of the Gunther on this last episode. The Sky in this final show is the real Sky who came to town in April 82, just mere months after the imposter Sky was killed in Switzerland. All these episodes are available to view on my channel here. :) Thank you for watching.
@@Edgeofnight80s OMGoodness… WOW!!! 😁
Thank you a TON for coming back & clearing up my confusion. 👍
I was watching the show waaaaay back then in the 80s, but had forgotten a BUNCH of things. - I only started watching again last month thanks to great people like you posting them.
I really appreciate you for letting me know all of this; I fo SHO understand now. 😀
Had to dislike, but only because this is the final episode.
I'm not sure if you have seen some of the updated 'Edge' credits created by DS9Disko during the last few years. I ran across them a while back. They are incredible! It would be amazing to see an announcement of an 'Edge' reboot with credits similar to these. Jamey and Charlotte Whitney would be central characters along with Raven.
czcams.com/video/oA5DbWdX8IA/video.html
czcams.com/video/8tv1BZbKBPU/video.html
czcams.com/video/VScSicnACcc/video.html
Raven would be the grande dame character like Geraldine now.
So it was left with a cliff hanger? I guess they didn't know they were not coming back.
It was left open Brian because at the time they were negotiating with NBC to add it to their lineup and when that fell through the production company tried in vain to get it in the first run syndication with USA network. Sadly the backing in the funding wasn’t there so USA network opted to pick up repeats of the program starting in June 1981 which is what you’re seeing here on this page.
@@Edgeofnight80s Thanks for the reply. I have only vague memories of the show. I started with Guiding light in the mid 80s for the most part.
It would have been great if NBC picked this up!
She's been stabbed!
I miss it, too! What a great way to end EON! I wish it was still on - my favorite daytime drama of all time!!
