Members Soaplovers Posted June 16, 2022 Members Share Posted June 16, 2022 I do think Sharon stepped it up when Chris Weathershead came on as Alicia. It had her play insecurity over not being good enough..and the two had good sparring scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 18, 2022 Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTTjE3bwt2w The scenes with Mike, Nancy and Timmy were tremendously moving - and just to lighten the situation up a little, we got the extra playing Hallucination Josie (as Louise Shaffer was on Ryan's Hope by this point). Never seen Jayne's Nicole this early - it seems like they aged her up a little by the time of the episodes I have seen more of (summer '79 and on). I love everything with Raven, Steve, Kevin and Logan. The image of Raven and Kevin just sitting in their living room "catching up on reading" (today they would be looking at their phones or Tablets), Raven's flirty games with Logan (which remind me so much of how she was with Derek a few years later). The conversation between Logan and Steve felt so real, not at all leaden the way many soap talks can be. The actors and writers all tried so hard at Edge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted June 21, 2022 Members Share Posted June 21, 2022 A friend on Facebook is currently working on Mark Arnold's (Gavin) soap memorabilia. Check out this: " I am presently deep into converting Mark's vhs Edge collection he had 80 tapes of complete shows from1980 to his final show in 1983 from WABC and WKBS 48 Philadelphia. Mark had many of the missing Edge episodes from November 80 to June 81 that were never syndicated and have not been seen in 41 years. They are going up on my Edge of Night Youtube page and we are premiering 2 or 3 shows weekly on Sharon Gabet's Facebook page starting in July." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted June 21, 2022 Members Share Posted June 21, 2022 Fabtastic news! Just proves there are many people involved with shows at the time that have tapes of unseen episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Broderick Posted June 26, 2022 Members Share Posted June 26, 2022 Gotta love how Draper Scott in the episode above is still introducing new evidence during his closing arguments, lol. I always found the "Edge" trials interesting, but they definitely ignored all the rules about discovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted July 3, 2022 Members Share Posted July 3, 2022 Now that is a soap treasure! Thanks for sharing, Carl! This is one of great EON stories that I've heard fans talk about for years, and I have been itching to see clips. I've seen the climax with Winter/Nicole squaring off in the news studio, but I've always wanted to see clips with Wade/Winter. Only one I wish would now pop up would be the Keith Whitney story, which I doubt will ever pop up but one can only hope. I hope more from this story pops up. It boggles my mind how no one has not rebooted this show as EON could easily capture a mass audience with murder, mayhem, and romance at the crux of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 3, 2022 Members Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Yes, EON is one of the main soaps I think could easily be revived in today's world (the others I'd pick are probably OLTL and GL). I always wonder how fans felt about the switch in actresses with Winter, as apparently she only became a more scheming character after Stephanie Braxton came in to finish out the story. Stephanie does a good job playing up those disturbed elements, but I could see some rejecting the shift. Always weird seeing Deborah without her shorter haircut. I had to laugh at Draper's lengthy bedroom scene with gold chain around his neck. Pure '70s nostalgia. Slesar did such a good job at pacing stories, in a way few soap writers could. This episode is clearly showing the end of one story (Winter) another at midpoint (the Elliot/Margo saga and the setting up of Margo manipulating April and Draper into the house situation that would be so disastrous for them), and another just beginning (Paige Madison/Mansion of the Damned). I haven't seen a lot of Dan Hamilton, but he was surprisingly hot and a good actor too, especially how he played Wade's fear when Wade realized just how serious Winter was. He also played a believable drunk. Funny to think he moved from EON back to Another World to be shot to death later that same year.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted July 3, 2022 Members Share Posted July 3, 2022 Speaking of April and Draper's house--isn't it supposedly located in Oakdale (of ATWT)? If so, I find that so interesting. I always loved how P&G soaps subtly informed you that they were all part of the same universe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 3, 2022 Members Share Posted July 3, 2022 It is, yes. I think another P&G town is mentioned around the time of the train crash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted July 3, 2022 Members Share Posted July 3, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if it were Springfield. I always wondered if one of these shows mentioned Henderson. Hell, is Henderson even in Illinois like the other P&G shows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
