Members EONGLOLTL Posted January 26, 2020 Members Share Posted January 26, 2020 I agree.... CBS was the best bet. If we could turn back time! Who are your favourite heroines from Edge? Mine were Nancy Karr, Nicole Travis Drake, Liz Hillyer Fields, Laurie Ann Karr, Phoebe Smith, April Cavanaugh Scott, Deborah Saxon, Jody Travis and with her transformation.... Raven Alexander Whitney! Oh..... I don't know if you would consider her a heroine but I loved Babs Micelli. Leslie Ann Ray really playes Babs so well. I cried when Babs was murdered. Oh! And Lucy Martin. Loved her as Tiffany Whitney! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aback Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 I've always been curious as to what made this show so attractive to a male audience. Is there any particular storyline you can recommend for me to watch on Youtube? I'd love to know if there's any special Youtube channel or playlist with at least a complete storyline from the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Two things: its' original timeslot (as late as 4 PM in some markets) and the fact that its' storylines were crime-oriented. (Same went for DARK SHADOWS, except their stories were largely sci-fi/fantasy/horror in nature.) Edited March 28, 2020 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 This is certainly wrong. The network was very opposed to the change in writers and wanted Mr. Slesar to be kept in place as the show's headwriter. He was hired as the co-headwriter of One Life to Live by ABC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Agree. It wasn't ABC who wanted Henry Slesar gone. It was P&G. Just as it was P&G, and not ABC, who ultimately decided to discontinue sponsorship of the show, thus forcing its' cancellation in 1984. By all accounts, ABC would have loved to have kept EON on the air, but weren't able to assume production costs w/o a third-party sponsor.

Members danfling Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) This is certainly not correct. The ABC network was opposed to the change of writers. ABC hired him almost immediately as the co-head writer of One Life to Live. Edited April 4, 2020 by danfling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted April 5, 2020 Members Share Posted April 5, 2020 Conboy productions hired Slesar to helm Capitol, a position Slesar held from Nov 1984 through Jan 86. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OzFrog Posted April 16, 2020 Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 Some more EON episodes have just emerged. No dates, but they appear to be from 1979. Not sure if these have been uploaded previously. I did like that the first one has Margaret Colin (pre-ATWT) and Vasili Bogazianos (pre-AMC). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
