Here's a theory worthy of an Edge of Night plot...maybe the elusive Russel Kubeck was in fact a pseudonym for... Henry Slesar!! Somerset had done better in the ratings under Slesar so P&G installed him to compete against his own EON. Slesar had done double duty before writer SOM and EON in the early 70's and would do so in 78 with EON and SFT. P&G had a policy their shows would never compete, but broke that rule when EON was moved up against SOM, so maybe they went one step further and allowed Slesar to write both shows and being a total professional he was able to carry it off. Or maybe not. Anyway 1976 Pt 3 Steve takes the stand. When he nears the part in his story where he’s supposed to forget the hit man, Carrie suddenly starts to cry, and the judge declares a recess. Thinking quickly, Steve tells Castor that his perjury won’t help now the district attorney is out to get Mrs. Wilson, and if they break her they'll have him, Steve, too, and he’s no good to the Organization behind bars. Castor sees the sense in this. So when Steve’s recalled to the stand, he tells the truth about the hit man in the hallway. But Steve’s testimony pales beside the district attorney’s discovery that Mrs. Wilson has a secret bank account which shows a. recent large deposit. She breaks under questioning, and the defense’s case collapses. The three defendants are quickly convicted. When Castor warns Steve that he’s now in danger, Lieutenant Price and Julian arrange Steve’s departure for Los Angeles. Steve takes the tickets but doesn’t use them. Instead, he waits for Castor and convinces him to let him talk to “the man” himself and plead his own case. Castor calls Harrington and hands the phone to Steve, who speaks his piece without Harrington’s saying a word. When Castor takes the phone back, Harrington instructs Castor not to kill Steve. But Steve, while talking, heard what sounded like a music box in the background. It was actually a unique chiming clock, an antique that Harrington takes inordinate pride in. Harrington later tells Castor that their big problem is Julian, as he carries too much power and influence. Harrington explains he held off on Steve’s elimination because Steve might prove helpful in getting Julian. Detective Sergeant Chip Williams informs Julian that a car rented in his name was found abandoned near the airport. Julian, who rented it for Steve to aid in his flight to Los Angeles, replies that a careless reporter forgot the car there. Chip is far from convinced. And Julian and Carrie are very worried about Steve. Carrie is writing a series of articles based on Greg’s investigation to back up Julian’s crusading editorials, and finds herself torn between her memories and her loyalty to Greg and her rapidly growing feelings for Steve. When she finally has a few moments alone with him, days later, Carrie, even more upset to learn of Steve’s inroads into the Organization, begs him to give it up; she can’t stand the constant thought of his being in danger any longer. Steve gently replies that nobody’s ever said anything that nice to him before. Steve then manages to get his music-box information to Lieutenant Price, but is unresponsive to the officer’s new idea for getting Steve out of his present situation. Vickie, taking a long, hard look at herself and her life, decides it’s time that she changed her self-oriented outlook on things and tried to do something with her life. Seeing that she’s determined to do this, Julian turns back to her, discouraging Avis, who takes the hint and goes home. When Stan and Terri ask Vickie to head the fund drive for the hospital, Vickie is very pleased to have the opportunity to do something for someone else for a change. Realizing that Heather needs a diversion from the horrible experience she’s undergone, Vickie asks her to help with the project. Heather begins with the assignment for posters to publicize the drive. Jerry, who felt the work would keep her from thinking about their baby, is upset when the artist suggests baby pictures for the campaign and proceeds to hand the photographs to Heather. Jerry interrupts, ending the meeting, but later Heather assures Jerry that she can deal with her own situation and with the pictures, Vickie, meanwhile, has the responsibility of soliciting major donations to kick off the campaign. She visits Fred Harrington, who quickly offers his support for the project. When Vickie admires his beautiful antique chiming clock; Fred proudly tells her the history of the ingenious piece. Upon learning that business is slumping, Harrington angrily tells Castor it’s Julian’s fault and mentions that he’s not alone in wanting Julian out of the way. This interests Castor, but Harrington won’t say more on the subject. Harrington explains to Castor that Julian’s put himself in such a front-line position that if he were to have an accident, even a real one, the entire FBI would be on the scene to investigate. Their only chance is to investigate Julian so minutely that there is nothing about him they don’t know. Then they can plan their strategy. Castor brings Steve a gun, knowing that Steve doesn’t want to get involved in violence, and when he’s sure he’s got Steve’s prints on the firearm, he carefully pockets it, wearing gloves. Castor then proudly informs Harrington he’s got Steve framed whenever he needs it: clear prints on a clean gun. Castor also_informs Harrington that the ambitious Sergeant Williams is a likely prospect for cultivation. -

Michael B. Tretow, among other things sound engineer for ABBA, and responsible for the distinct ABBA sound, has died aged 80. https://swedenherald.com/article/abba-sound-engineer-michael-b-tretow-dies-at-80 -
This sort of error is not uncommon now because writers don't put much thought into matching language and lingo with time periods. -
I think in the long run, Shelle is endgame. The current writers are just playing it slow and natural at the moment and I love it, it’s classic soap opera storytelling. I hope Cwikly and Ford are given time to write these two apart as well gradually working their way back to each other. The potential is endless with EJ and Jada thrown in the mix. -
The show hit #3 today. The episode was eh. I loathe Leo. He needs to go! -
IIRC Storm was a nickname given to Stephen Logan Jr. as he had a stormy temper. Much like William Foster Jr. was given the nickname Snapper for snapping at everyone. I remember an interview with either Bill Bell or Bradley where it was mentioned Bill Bell got the name Ridge from a college classmate of Bradley's. Bradley even said that his classmate tells everyone "I'm the real Ridge". I don't where Bill Bell got Thorne from. -
I'm left wondering if Lynda Hirsch how much access from her office in the Midwest? I assume people called her to leak information all the time. And she had press releases, interviews, and screener tapes. But her insight into the character of John Conboy made me question if she was an insider or just a yenta? -

The interview also makes me appreciate more how clever it was for Bill Bell to use names like Storm or Thorne. That was a quick talking point for Hirsch with the show. And while I always made fun of it, looking back that's also something that made people I knew who rarely watched soaps always remember B&B. -
There was also nepo babies Ethan Wayne and Carrie Mitchum.
