Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

[DRW50]

Sure, that's fine.

It's the July 1979 TV Dawn to Dusk & Daytime Stars.

Thanks again, Carl!!!

Didn't Lori Cardille have to suddenly leave due to some sort of issue with her ability to continue playing Winter?

[amybrickwallace]

That's odd, because I always thought that Stephanie Braxton was the only actress to play the role.

[Bright Eyes]

Same here. When I first saw those scenes of Winter trying to kill Nicole at the TV station or wherever they were, I was transfixed by Braxton's chilling performance.

Didn't Winter end up pushing some other girl out the window by mistake?

[DRW50]

I think that was an earlier story, with Geraldine's daughter-in-law Tiffany.

There used to be some January 1979 material on Youtube that had a fair amount of Lori. That channel was deleted. I do have it but I don't know how to upload to Youtube

Anyway, here's a short clip:

If it's the same Lori Cardille I think it is, from George Romero's Day of the Dead, she had a very, very troubled youth and home life.

Ah, yes, it is - and she left the role on EON because of her past trauma.

Thank you both. It's always a pleasure to see Ann Williams. Liz Welch, one of Ann's daughters, has named Margo as her personal favorite of her mom's many roles.

I loved Lori Cardille when she was on The Edge of Night. She later played a role on Ryan's Hope, but I did not see her all that much on Ryan's Hope.

I also must say that I HATED Stephanie Braxton as Winter on The Edge of Night. I like the actress, but her portrayal was too different from that of Lori Cardille. It was revealed that Winter was truly guilty, I think, after Ms. Braxton assumed the role. (Please correct me on that if I am wrong.)

The character not only looked and acted differently, but it seems to me that she was written differently.

It should be noted that Winter was in love with Miles, and Stephanie Braxton and Joel Crothers had played a married couple on The Secret Storm.

Also, Winter had murdered Wade Meacham. Stephanie Braxton and Dan Hamilton were married in real life.

Was the final acting role for Stephanie Braxton on the ABC primetime series King's Cross?

May I add that I thought that Lori Cardille and Joe Lambie (Logan) made a perfect couple in my mind?

At some point on the show when Joe Lambie was playing Logan (probably when he was dating Winter), Logan had a secretary named Maggie.

Robin Groves played the role.

I loved Ms. Groves, and I wish that the show had expanded her character.

I didn't know Winter was in story with Miles.

[amybrickwallace]

On The Secret Storm, wasn't Stephanie Braxton's character the woman who later married a priest?

[DRW50]

Yes.

[amybrickwallace]

Thanks - I do know that the priest was played by the same actor who played the hammy Rusty Sentell on SFT, and his brother was played by Gary Sandy, later of WKRP. I would like to see clips of that love story, because it brought a lot of controversy for its day. It pre-dated The Thorn Birds.

Did Stephanie Braxton have any other soap writing experience other than her brief co-headwriter status at SFT in the mid-80s?
