[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 367617, member: 27"] The same deal (EON paired with SFT as a package) was sold to the USA Network, a small, struggling cable network at the time (mid-1980s). Their airings between 11pm and 1am or so, depending on various factors was how I discovered [I]The Edge of Night. [/I] SFT was chock-full of[I] [/I]recognizable faces, whether "coming" (new actors in their first soap role who went on to other things) or "going" (already known from other soaps). The McCleary clan you mention featured three hunky brothers (David Forsyth, Jeffrey Meek and Matthew Ashford) and later, their mother (Maeve McGuire). Forsyth moved to [I]Another World[/I] to play John Hudson for a decade; Meek went on to ATWT as one of the many Craig Montgomerys; and of course Ashford became a star as Jack Devereaux on [I]Days[/I]. Maeve McGuire had made her name as Nicole Drake on [I]The Edge of Night [/I]in the mid-1970s[I], [/I]the same character we later see married to Miles Cavanaugh[I]. [/I]When EON decided to recast Nicole, they hired an actress who was[I] twenty years younger[/I] than McGuire and made her into a young heroine again. [/QUOTE]
