Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)
Margo was April’s biological mother. Miles and April were not related by birth. Miles’ parents had a daughter named April who died. Afterward, Margo gave her own daughter April to the Cavanaughs to raise. Margo originally owned the penthouse. I don’t recall Raven living in the same building as April though I could be wrong. Raven’s dingy apartment seemed to be in a less opulent building. Geraldine resided in another building, the Monticello Arms, I believe. It wasn’t an apartment but rather a hotel suite.

Mooney was one of many soap personnel who lived in East Brunswick (my hometown). Richard Van Vleet also lived there. Ditto Felicia Minei Behr. Jean Mazza, who played Annie on As the World Turns, also lived in EB. I think one of the directors from The Edge of Night lived there. In 1978, Edge taped April Scott's car accident in EB.

I already shared this on the Another World board and wanted to share it here, too. Yesterday, I came across a magazine titled FourTwoNine that featured an excerpt from Armistead Maupin's new memoir. In it, he discusses his relationship with actor Curt Dawson who had played Peter Chapman on Guiding Light. It's a beautiful piece that includes a photo of Dawson. Maupin shares that Sir Ian McKellen was also once in love with Dawson in the early 60s. Maupin talks about visiting Dawson on the set of Guiding Light while high on cocaine.

The blonde-haired man is Chase Kendall, Estelle's son. Here he's played by Robert Brian Wilson who earlier played Channing Capwell Jr. on Santa Barbara. Before Wilson, Kevin Conroy played Chase. Sherry Mathis was gone by this time. Louan Gideon was playing Liza.

I believe the man with the blonde hair at the pay phone is Viggo Mortensen, who played Bragg in the San Marcos storyline.

I see her on Facebook, so I'll share the video with her. Thank you! As I watched the video, I kept thinking about how warm Sherry was. She came across the complete opposite of how Marcia McCabe described when Louan Gideon died. At that time, McCabe described Sherry as "remote and not social at all."

I think you're mis-remembering a bit. Most of the characters were living at Liberty House after the flood and there was lots of interaction amongst the characters. Hogan and Patti definitely interacted with other characters. They were both part of the big storyline involving the McCleary patriarch Matt, which took Search for Tomorrow to Ireland a few months before the show left the air. And Hogan did interact a lot with Jo. The new opening credits initially ended with a shot of Hogan and Jo.

Hogan and Sunny had a beautiful romance in 1983-1984. Then Hogan left Henderson. He returned in the spring of 1985 and the writers paired him with Liza. David Forsyth had amazing chemistry with both Sherry Mathis and Marcia McCabe. But Mathis left and Louan Gideon assumed the role. Sunny became needy and clingy. Didn't she fake paralysis? The storyline bombed. We were clearly meant to root for Hogan and Liza but the coupling failed.

I don't think it was the lighting with Warren's office. As I recall, the walls were black, perhaps to symbolize that Warren was a villain. I always found that set unsettling because it was so dark and forbidding.

Twin Peaks
What a riveting episode! The opening scenes. Wow. Beautiful, soulful. Incredibly fulfilling after all these years. The scenes with DoppelCooper were mesmerizing and chilling. The phone call and the scene at the police station. The special credit at the end. The images of the woods, the house. Oh, my heart. I wept.

Sometimes the issue involves Apple's Safari browser, which is very problematic with videos not playing, the system freezing and/or crashing, and pages not loading. I had this issue with both my work and home Macs. In my case, my solution was upgrading my version of Safari (for free) and using other browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Since these fixes, I've had no issues.

Twin Peaks
Sunday's episode was truly riveting and mind blowing in some many respects. After the episode ended, I went to bed and those scenes replayed in my mind again and again. Now, two days later, the episode is still affecting me in so many ways. We truly have never seen anything like it on television before.
