Brilliant, Unusual daytime serial
"The Edge of Night" was without a doubt one of the best daytime soaps ever. Unlike other soaps, Edge focused on intelligent, complex mysteries fraught with irony, suspense, and edge-of-your seat action. The show's ensemble cast was probably the best in daytime history, supporting Edge's reputation a classy, well-written, and terrifically acted program. Sadly, after 28 years of superior programming, Edge was dropped in favor of higher-budget, more popular soaps, all of which in effect plagiarized Edge's plots, action, and individuality. Accept no susbstitutes: Edge was The Best!

Trivia

When Procter & Gamble moved the series to ABC from CBS, the latter prevented P&G from mentioning to which network the show would be moving. Thus, ads promoting the show's move said it would now be airing on "another network".
