`The Edge of Night' was the consequential daytime drama of mystery, suspense, police detection and crime. For anyone who loved a good murder mystery, this was indeed the afternoon drama to watch. In most instances, you worried every week if lead attorney and crime stopper Mike Karr, his wife Nancy Pollock Karr or daughter Laurie Ann, would vanish off the face of the earth or be murdered by a larger than life villain who was causing grief for Bill Marceau, the chief of police, and the good citizens of Monticello. The romance between attorney Adam Drake and socialite and often stalked Nicole Travis Stewart started `The Edge of Night's' first real `super couple' and the dynamic twosome simply took our breaths away when they finally married in a handsome ceremony in the Karrs garden. It wasn't often that fans of `The Edge of Night' got treated to afternoon romance, bed-hopping and hen-peck husbands similar to the scenery on most of the other daytime dramas...since `Edge's' important characters were simply too busy scheming about other relevant matters or solving `whodunnit' if `whodunnit' didn't kill them first. The murder of fan favorite Adam Drake was perhaps the show's biggest shocker.
