** ''Edge'' was the number 2 rated daytime serial in the late 1960s and early 1970s...until Creator/{{CBS}} moved the show to an earlier timeslot in 1972 (averted, perhaps, in that P&G demanded the timeslot switch). Ratings tanked in the new timeslot, so that when Creator/{{CBS}} needed a half-hour on its schedule to expand AsTheWorldTurns in 1975, ''Edge'' left the CBS schedule.
** Averted, in that Creator/{{ABC}}, despite the show's low ratings, was willing to continue production of the show beyond 1984; P&G pulled the plug on the show because, with the show's low clearance rate, it was losing money for P&G.

* ChannelHop: The first (of only three) soaps to change networks; ''Edge'' moved to Creator/{{ABC}} in 1975 after being axed by Creator/{{CBS}}.
* ClearMyName: Happened often, as nearly every character who went to trial was innocent of the crime.

** In 1968, ''Edge'' devoted an entire episode to Adam Drake; the episode involved Drake (played by Donald May) delivering a closing argument during the murder tiral of Julie Jamison.
** In 1976, one episode featured only Mike and Nancy Karr (Forrest Compton and Ann Flood).
* DramaticHalfHour: The second half hour soap on U.S. TV, premiering the same day as the first (''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'').
