Wow, Erwin Nicholson would have some stories to tell. I have mentioned before that he was never moved from Edge, even when the ratings fell and then when Slesar was dropped.

Looking at the article reminded me that in the 1958 credits shown on YouTube, there was producer named William Marceau-the same name given to Mandel Kramer's character. Edge did the same with the Phil Capice character,naming him after an exec working on the show.

I've been sick with bronchitis, which has been been affecting my (4th) abdominal) hernia. I absolutely love these magazine clippings...I distinctly remember having the Bruce Martin article...

I do have some good news to share...the book, edited by Sam Ford, in whcih I share my memories of Edge, has finally been published. 'Survial of Soap Operas: Transformations for a New Media Era,' published by the University Press of Mississippi. The publisher sent me a complimentary copy, and the book looks absolutely wonderful.

Congratulations on the book!

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. I'm glad to hear that you reading these makes you feel better. I will keep on posting what I can find -- knowing it helps you with what you're going through just gives me more incentive.

    • I strongly suspect the same. Happens often.
    • Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.
    • I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.
    • I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.
    • In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.
    • Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.
    • They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.
    • I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

    • my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%
