The Edge of Night
The Edge of Night was a long-running American television soap opera. It debuted on CBS on April 2, 1956. It ran on that network until November 1975 and aired on ABC from December 1, 1975 until December 28, 1984.
The Edge of Night was unique among daytime soap operas in focusing on crime, rather than domestic and romantic matters. The police, district attorneys and medical examiners of fictional Monticello, USA dealt with a steady onslaught of gangsters, drug dealers, blackmailers, cultists, international spys, corrupt politicians, psychopaths and murderous debutantes while coping with more usual soap opera problems such as courtship, marriage, divorce, custody battles and amnesia.
