Is it true that, after the transition from CBS to ABC in 1975, Edge of Night had a very short-lived very unliked "new" opening theme?  I understand it was rather quickly replaced by the Cortner and Barranco melody that lasted until the show was cancelled.  Is this true?  And if so, does anyone have audio or video of the short-lived and reviled "new" opening theme song?

In watching the Family Feud episodes, I can't get over how charming and interesting all the EON actors are. Tony Craig was not served by how Draper was written, and I wish he had been given a better character. He's so adorable on FF. From what I've seen on EON, he is never given much of a chance to show that. He should have been a major leading man in soaps based on the way he is on FF.

Henry did write Draper as a series but sweet romantic lawyer and had an opportunity with the not too inspired Emily/Kirk plot to change Draper's personality (Ala Jason Quartermaine on GH) but Tony quit a while after that story was resolved which Henry may have know about and Terry Davis got pregnant so he gave them a happily ever after (off screen). But Tony often flubbed his lines too; he didn't come across as a multi talented actor in the vein of Joel Crothers who aced absolutely everything Henry gave him to do.

It was so interesting to the Edge actors because they were so much fun. From where I came into the show, Draper has been such a drip so it was nice to see Tony Craig so loose and fun. Joel Crothers has not had much to do in where I am in the show, but he is a great presence.

    • Where's the credible source that JFP is back?
    • I remember Phyllis' place when she was with Billy -- there was a lot of (fake) concrete on that set, and I remember her living in a place that had a lot of red and white.
    • The only time Phyllis had a home in recent years was when she lived at the cottage house (Victoria's now home), the Abbott mansion, Nick's now-gone home, or the two temporary apartments she had. Otherwise, she's houseless.

    • The restaurant and coffee shop hopping is what bothers me, too. I absolutely hate it. Yes, the new sets are great. The Newman ranch, the Abbott mansion, Billy's house -- they're all classy and great. I appreciated The Crimson Lights update a few years ago, and the remodel of Sharon's tack house where Victoria lives is nicely done. However, because of limitations on what's permanently standing and what needs to be assembled when used, the sets problem is still a mess. We get Jack's office and that hallway into his office for a couple days, and that's it. That means any Jabot business talk is conducted at a bar, restaurant or coffee shop. It's nuts that Devon's office is no longer used. Lily? She sits down at either Society or the GCAC every damn day. Billy's starting this new, dynamic company -- no office. Phyllis? No home, no work space. She runs from restaurant to coffee shop. And no, throwing in that Chancellor Park set as a meeting place for EVERYONE who goes to the park isn't enough. When you have SO many characters discussing business (also a huge problem) it's a huge error to have only one business locale up at a time.  Comparing Y&R to DAYS does not work. We all know DAYS has no budget. We know that Y&R has been #1 for DECADES and SHOULD have a budget. We deserve better. Is the GH budget that much bigger than Y&R's? Because they manage an enormous cast and a buttload of sets just fine. GH doesn't look like a show that's penny-pinching. And then when Y&R spends money on a new set, it becomes a storyline, which is a joke. We hear about it for weeks on end. When has this ever happened on a soap? When should this ever happen? Compounding all this sets mess? The writing on Y&R is ABYSMAL. It has never been worse. I have never been so bored with this show in my entire life. B&B is trash, but Y&R is worse -- it's boring trash.
    • If I recall, they moved a wall that cut the living room from the kitchen off, and it is now more open. Either way, or the wall by the staircase, because you could always see that smell kitchen. IIRC, he's still living in the house he had during Mal Young's regime that got quickly nixed.
    • Vault is temporarily down - I'll get it back up within a few hours.

    • For all of Kat's supposed interest in true crime, she seems pretty clueless.

      date: Friday, June 6 | Ron Carlivati, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Phideaux Xavier Katherine, you sneaky sneak. Eavesdropping on Eva's phone call with Laura to go off to her hotel room. Very happy to see Chelsea and Naomi hanging out at Uptown! Bill is pushing himself too much; those mini-strokes are going to lead to a full-blown one, and trust me, those are not fun to recover from at all. So, Vanessa couldn't walk, huh? Is Joey that good <s>in bed</s> on the poker table? Darius is the hotel equivalent of George on the Fairmont Crest grounds, trusting the Dupree women like it's nothing. At least Darius got some crisp new bills out of it. I appreciate that outwardly, Bill isn't a toxic hetero male when it comes to his future son (if he has one) doing ballet. That's refreshing from a man of his stature. So, the child bride prances to the kitchen for a sports drink and does not prance again until she hits the living room? Girl, you want that man dead. Uh-oh, Joey has let out Douglas' secrets... and Ms Vanessa does not look any happier about it. Vanessa, destroy them both. Tomas continues to be a stand-up guy; he's keeping it honest with Eva that Katherine has his attention. Good on him. At least Katherine put on gloves this time when handling "evidence", ha. Oh, so Madison is "Dr Montgomery"? Oh so this should be interesting to see unfold! Notes: I appreciate the ongoing "coming out" moments for Chelsea with her family members; today, it's Naomi receiving the news and reacting completely naturally to it. Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) is really beginning to show some range in her work, from the uppity real estate mogul, to her crying, and now we're about to get full bitch mode. Bring it.
