Humbert also did a day on Edge of Night, where he played a boat captain who rescued Adam Drake after a shipwreck.
EoN eventually became my second favorite soap after DS because I loved the mysteries on the show. They were extremely well crafted, complex, and juciy. And like DS, no character was ever safe and could be killed off at any moment. And the show attracted a wealth of talent that went on to do many other successful things in other areas of entertainment like nighttime TV and films. But unfortunately I completely missed HAA because I didn't come to the show until 1975 when Maeve McGuire returned to the role of Nicole Drake, Adam's wife who it was presumed had perished in that shipwreck that had taken place a year earlier on the show. I don't know if anyone remembers the so-called American version of
Upstairs Downstairs that was called
Beacon Hill, but Maeve McGuire was on that and I came to really enjoy her on the show. And after it was cancelled after only one season, I read where she was returning to her role of Nicole Drake on EoN, so I decided to check her out. And before long I became a big fan of the entire show. And the fun thing is that at various times EoN featured DS actors in long running roles, including Joel Crothers and Michael Stroka. And I can actually thank EoN for making me a fan of Stroka because as a kid I can honestly say that I really disliked all of his characters on DS and was never all that impressed with Stroka himself - but on EoN it was like I was watching not just a totally different character from what he'd played on DS, but a totally different actor entirely...
