Oh, how I loved me some Edge of Night! I was so angry when they canceled it. ABC wanted to get rid of any non-ABC-produced soaps, it Edge was a Proctor & Gamble production.
ReplyDeleteI wish P&G would get back into TV production. Maybe they would have partnered with Prospect Park to resume AMC and OLTL. :^(
