No spoilers, but the October 18th, 1984 episode knocked me down for the count. That was some strong material and acting.

The more I listen to the last remix of the EON theme, the more it grows on me...the biggest downside is the really cheap graphics, especially the end with the car and then with Raven and Sky kissing in front of Chromakey.

I agree DRW50. I like the techo mix of the 1983-1984 theme. The cheap graphics are another story. I can’t begin to understand why thy spent money to change it. The previous version from 1980-1983 opening was stylish and contemporary. That said I also love the orchestral version of the 1974 closing theme.

The whole chromakey background for Sky and Raven was previously used for Preacher and Jody post Karrie Emerson taking over. Preacher and Jody kissing was used when Lori Loughlin was still around but it was actual location footage. EON also used Chromakey when Sky and Raven were at the airport one time and it looked ridiculous.

It's simply impossible to believe that Ann Flood recently celebrated her 20th anniversary in the role of Nancy Karr on Edge of Night." She's too young, both in appearance and energy, to have played a character that long. If we must accept the fact of her longevity, we must assume she goes off somewhere for an annual revitilization injection, since she never, absolutely never, presents a less than total conviction in her acting style. She disproves the axiom that soap actors "dry up" playing a character long-term." She's as fresh as this morning's puff pastry, with layers of dimensions still to be exposed. And if this is beginning to sound like a: "puff piece," it's entirely intentional. Ann Flood is not only a "soap opera institution," she's a testament to the skill and ever-renewing verve possible in the acting profession. . The one odd fact that sticks out in Miss Flood's mind after 20 years is that "Nancy never had a child of her own. She raised her husband's daughter and there have been countless orphans who came under her wing, but she never had a natural child. That's certainly a rarity for a soap opera heroine, but it's ' given me the chance to play aspects of her professional career and not solely be involved in domestic situations." As a "sort of anniversary gift" from "Edge," Flood was recently given the opportunity to work opposite the Broadway and film musical legend, Alfred Drake, who will play villainous Dwight Endicott for a limited engagement through June.

Thanks @Paul Raven

Puffery aside, I thought Ann Flood looked lovely but still looked her age. That's a credit to her as many even then who were in the industry were hesitant (that's one of the things which supposedly killed Constance Bennett).

Did they ever say Nancy couldn't have children? Or was it just never mentioned because the show didn't want Mike to have two young kids and by the time Laurie Ann was aged up, they thought she and Mike were too old?

Nancy's career definitely afforded her some story opportunities that probably were considered progressive in those days.

Even during the Lee Sheldon era, Nancy is served well in her role as a journalist and even given a rare chance at being an author. She also played a strong supporting part in the dismal campus mystery and probably would have been involved in helping her step daughter try to regain her life and find her son.. and probably would have been involved in the rumored Nicole lookalike plot that was going to happen had the show continued into 1985.
