The Edge of Night

Long-running American soap opera about the unseemly goings-on in the fictional town of Monticello, California. To detail the plot specifics would require a massive tome on how soap operas work, but suffice to say that it ran for just under thirty years (ending in 1984) and was a staple of many a housewife’s afternoon. Noteworthy names included Kate Capshaw, Scott Glenn, Frank Gorshin, Hector Elizondo, Julianne Moore, and Larry Hagman.
