Joel Crothers in EDGE OF NIGHT

[Gothick]

I am glad you enjoyed the article. I have only read a bit of it. For anyone who cares (I doubt anyone other than you or I will look at it, but who knows), if you continue scrolling through the very long article, there are some Not Safe for the Workplace photos, mostly featuring naked Dennis Parker, who was a gorgeous man, but there's at least a little female nudity as well, I think.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about Sharon Gabet or the other actors you mentioned. The only soap operas I ever watched were DARK SHADOWS and STRANGE PARADISE. I'm on episode 165 of SP now, and have really been enjoying finally watching the last storyline which lasted the final 13 weeks of the show. I had seen most of it back in the 1990s thanks to a friend's kindness, but watched tapes out of order and in a rather spotty, undisciplined way.

Best, G.

Lois Kibbee was the niece of character actor Guy Kibbee. She did mostly theatre and soaps, though she appear in the movie Caddyshack. She has a slight connection to DS, in that she coauthored The Bennett Playbill. She had also worked with Joel on Somerset. Her character on Somerset was the mother of a character played by Christopher Pennock and was married to a character played by the actor who had played Bill Malloy.

The soap world is a small one and just a little bit incestuous.

Here's a clip with Dennis and Sharon from EDGE.

I've always thought that the actor who played Mike Carr on EDGE appeared as an extra in the party scene in HODS.  At least it looks like him...

i used to love EON. it wasn't "supernatural" in any way but it had a darker, more sinister tone than other soaps.

like a lot of soaps in the late 70s/early 80s it got moved around and dropped by local "affiliates" making it harder and harder to find until it was eventually cancelled.

EON was one of my favorite soaps because I love a good mystery and EON had several over the years. I was really pissed when it was taken off in my area quite a while before it went off so I have no idea how the final few plots played or how things finally wrapped up.

MB, if you go to Sharon Rose Gabet's Facebook page, you'll find a lot of day by day postings regarding the last days of EON. Sharon and the late Larkin Malloy participated in the discussions. The show had changed headwriters and they were very frank about the stories being inferior to those that Henry Slesar came up with.
A few of the other actors chimed in as well. And there was fairly good behind the scenes dish as well.

there was a character named "Schuyler Whitney (aka 'Sky')" whose name i was so smitten with i claimed it and my own middle name (Sean in reality) all through high school.

I vaguely remember Lois being on during the Adam and Nicole storyline back in the Dark Shadows days...but I remember her more as Ted Knights wife in Caddyshack. She was a hoot.

Lois wrote for Edge of Night for a period. I believe that Slesar was the one who plotted long term story and Lois was one of several writers who turned out the daily scripts. She also wrote some scripts for the CBS soap Capitol when Slesar was the head writer there.
