As we lean back, we might recall that on this date in 1989 ABC broadcast the last episode of Ryan’s Hope. Born in 1975, the show’s creators had taken the unusual step (for a soap opera) of setting the series in a real community, the Washington Heights neighborhood of Northern Manhattan. That, and the their forthright treatment of then-edgy issues– extramarital and premarital affairs, the attendant children out of wedlock, careerist women, the assertion of abortion rights, and the clash of generational values in the Ryan clan– quickly won it a loyal following. But as society caught up with Ryan’s Hope, the show’s edge dulled, ratings dropped, and it was brought to a close.
