Today in Soap Opera History (July 14)

On this date in...

1966: On DARK SHADOWS, after seeing a door briefly open in the upstairs hallway, Vicki learned from David it was the door to 'the rest of the house' and was locked off 50 years ago.

1980: On THE EDGE OF NIGHT, Molly told Emily the truth about Draper and how he became Kirk Michaels. Watch the episode below.



1984: Y&R's Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) was supposed to begin a two week tour of Ontario on this day but had to cancel when she was hospitalized after accidentally drinking coffee that contained a cleaning solution.

1986: On SANTA BARBARA, Mason, Mark and Julia react after former nun, Mary Duvall McCormick (Harley Jane Kozak), was knocked out by having a giant neon letter "C" (for "Capwell" atop the Capwell Hotel) land on her while she was standing on the hotel roof.  Mason (Lane Davies) begged her to tell him it would be alright, but Mary died. (This is the Monday episode that picks up where the Friday "C" cliffhanger left off.)
