Yeah, if it was true you think they would have started further back during the Classic Soap Channel years. I really wish whatever happened a few years back between P&G and Retro TV regarding EDGE would have ended up with them able to gain the rights to air what episodes are available. I think of all the P&G properties, Edge would work the best in syndication, mystery and crime would have a wider appeal I feel.

@DRW50I did a search at a certain site and found that issue. Just stated that the cover photo was Larkin Malloy from CBS Guiding Light.

Not sure how EQMM chose their covers.

Anyway, that issued featured a short story that I have never read by Ursula Curtiss, a favorite suspense writer. So thanks for that.

I have just finished reading the oral histories about Ryan's Hope and Texas.  I also read the oral history on One Life to Life a few years back.  I couldn't put them down!  So interesting to hear from all the actors and behind the scenes folks.  How do we go about getting one for The Edge of Night?  I know many of the actors have passed but there are many still around.  I'd love to know what when down with Edge moving to ABC and what they thought once they got there with less station clearances.  I sure miss Edge and a great many soaps of yesterday......

I've been championing the idea of TEON being rebooted for years.

One author I'd like to see helming the project is Jonathan Kellerman, who has authored a plethora of mystery novels about a psychiatrist named Alex Deleware.

Like TEON's Henry Slesar, Kellerman is a master at weaving intricate and surprising suspense/mystery stories, but is also adept at characterization and interpersonal relationships.

I think he'd be fabulous at writing for a new version of TEON.

Is there a way to watch the show in any consistent way--a particular story or time? I've never seen a second of the show so I would not know where to start if there are available consistent uploads.

USA Network ran the last 3.5 years back in the 80s.. and there was a rumor that they were one of the interested parties that wanted to carry the show with new episodes. However, the cost was too high so they just aired the reruns. 

They selected June 1981 as the starting point since the Emily plotline was tied up, Draper/April were preparing to leave, Lisa Sloan debuted as Nicole, and Raven/Sky were going into high gear.

    • Huge kudos to the production team and the writers - we truly got to witness some beautiful and heartfelt moments between John’s extended family. DAYS really pulled off a touching and fitting goodbye for both Bill Hayes (Doug) and Drake Hogestyn (John). You could feel the love and respect for Drake throughout. He came across as a real “super dad,” deeply loved by so many. And Deidre... wow. So strong, holding it all together - she deserves her own standing ovation. A few thoughts that came to mind… I wish we got a short scene of Roman sitting with John - just to thank him for looking after his kids all those years (Carrie, Sami, Eric), and to acknowledge that John and Marlena truly belonged together. It would’ve been such a meaningful moment of closure. I kept hoping Kristen would sneak into John’s room to say goodbye - maybe apologize for all the pain she caused, and tell him she really did (or does) love him. But I get it - it wouldn’t be the same without Eileen Davidson. Still, how incredible would it be if Eileen came back for a few episodes and we got some classic flashbacks? And Sami. Where is Sami?! A goodbye scene between her and John felt essential - with her finally thanking him, and apologizing for all the heartache between them. So much history there. Really hoping we’ll see all of John’s kids and grandkids at his memorial - and also Maggie and Julie. Marlena could really use the support of those who’ve known her the longest.

    • Is that scene from the horrendous Donna/Nick/Pam triangle the show tried at that time?

      Some awkward vibes in the interview, although it was interesting to hear him talk about Knots Landing and also mention that he was writing a primetime project with Ken Corday (did that go anywhere?). He also mentions plans to leave again eventually for a primetime soap.
    • Great watch !  I'm reminded how far the show had moved away from the Ryans during this period…Not a trace of the Ryans.  This episode bares no resemblance to the original Ryan’s Hope. Traci Lin is much more compelling than I remember.  Wonder what she would have accomplished if she had stuck it out... Scott Holmes is much more appealing here than on ATWT.  His Tom Hughes was always kinda sour. Grant Show sure did come along way.  His biggest talent here is his chest. Cali Timmons Cali Timmons Cali Timmons…What a star !  I really enjoyed Maggie as the show's heroine.  I wish she had done more work after she left daytime.  But she found love on RH with Geoff Pierson -- that’s probably better than a career.
    • Well, natch....but I mean, they never got a love scene onscreen? I'm just surprised. Although I guess it took Beth and Lujack longer than I expected too.

    • Better than 90 percent of what I see today on my screen. Absolutely mesmerizing.
