- Channel Hop: The first (of only three) soaps to change networks; Edge moved to ABC in 1975 after being axed by CBS.
- Screwed by the Network: Edge was the number 2 rated daytime serial in the late 1960s and early 1970s...until 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 CBS needed a half-hour on its schedule to expand As the World Turns in 1975, Edge left the CBS schedule.
- The Other Darrin: Just like any other Soap Opera, characters were recast regularly. Most notably, the main character Mike Karr was played by three actors during the show's run.
