![]() When Luke was thought dead in an avalanche, Holly realized she was pregnant, so Robert married her. Luke and grifter Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) had a one night stand. Tiffany and Noah’s relationship ended when Bobbie came back to town. Rick Webber (Chris Robinson) was trying to clean up the condition of the waterfront, and with the help of foster son Blackie Parrish (John Stamos), built a sports center for street kids. Jackie and Robert fell in love, but Laura Spencer never returned. Cult member David Grey (Paul Rossilli) was ultimately found responsible. Laura disappeared out of thin air at the same time investigative reporter Jackie Templeton (Demi Moore) arrived looking for her own missing sister, Laura Templeton (Janine Turner). ![]() Joe Kelly (Doug Sheehan) began investigating Diana Taylor’s (Brooke Bundy) murder and proved Heather Webber’s (Robin Mattson) innocence. ![]() Laura ended her marriage to Scott, then married Luke. Noah Drake (Rick Springfield) got serious with Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) but she left town when he wasn’t ready for a commitment. Luke, Laura, Robert and Victor’s mistress, actress Tiffany Hill (Sharon Wyatt), foiled their plot to freeze Port Charles. Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), an undercover agent from the World Security Bureau (WSB), worked with Luke to keep the diamond out of the clutches of the evil Cassadine brothers Victor (Thaao Penghlis), Tony (Andre Landzaat), and Mikkos Cassadine (John Colicos). Alexandria Quartermaine (Renee Anderson), niece of Edward Quartermaine (David Lewis), hired Luke to find a statue called the Ice Princess.

Mob boss Frank Smith’s (Mitchell Ryan) daughter Jennifer Smith (Lisa Marie) liked Luke and Frank pressured him to propose. (Yes, the one where Susan Lucci FINALLY received her Emmy statuette.) Why couldn't "The Story of Soaps" have shown footage of Marcy as Liza Colby on "All My Children" or Eden Capwell on "Santa Barbara"? Marcy's former "Santa Barbara" costar A Martinez actually shot an interview for the special where he brought up his work with Marcy, but said interview wasn't used in the final product.Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) came to terms with being raped by Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary). Speaking of Marcy, I personally consider it unfortunate that the only footage of her in last year's ABC special "The Story of Soaps" was at the 1999 Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony. They were still aired in daytime when Marcy Walker won HER Daytime Emmy in 1989 for her work on "Santa Barbara." I understand that the Daytime Emmys were not aired in prime time prior to 1991. Speaking of the Daytime Emmys, it is very much worth noting that the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards are slated to be aired on CBS this month (Friday, June 25, to be exact). I'm not spoiling anything for best results, you should watch this show cold (actually, it might surprise you how fast you can catch up to what's going on).Īnyway, just watch that one Edge, and tell us what you think of it - who knows, you might get a post out of it. Visit YouTube and look up one episode of Edge Of Night - specifically the episode of August 26, 1983. Much of the '80s run of Edge can be found on YouTube, more or less intact. When Slesar was "retired" from the show in '83, his replacement, Lee Sheldon, was more than up to the task he brought Edge Of Night's last year through in grand style. John Larkin as Mike Karr, Larry Hagman as Ed Gibson, Ann Flood as Nancy Karr - and for one stretch, Logan Ramsey as a really bad drug lord named Scofield Kilborn (boy, was he a baddie - and he kept it up in all media for 30+ years after this).įor 15 years in the '70s and early '80s, Edge's head writer was Henry Slesar, one of America's best mystery writers - and he delivered the goods for the whole term of his service (assisted by some top subwriters). Well, you went and did it - you mentioned (however briefly) one of my all-time favorite TV shows (regardless of daypart), The Edge Of Night.īack in the late '50s, when my brother and I were doing our grade-school homework in the late afternoons, we were both digging Edge's crime and mystery stories, which were pretty heady stuff for the time.
