"The Sex Show"Edward had a guest starring role in the ABC weekly series Once and Again. “The Sex Show” was the title of the episode and originally aired on November 30, 2001. Here's a Once and Again fan site's page about the episode. Edward played Steven, Karen’s one-night-stand! It was a very brief role, though a wonderful example of Edward’s versatility as an actor; for Steven was a dorky character, wearing glasses and making rather inane conversation! Karen and Judy met his character Steven at a bar (rather Steven approached them with a lame pick-up line!) The three of them had some drinks and eventually Steven walked Karen to her car; and dork or not he managed to get the girl, who alas(!) left him sleeping afterwards and crept out in the dark.... |

Here’s a synopsis
of the episode from the Soap Opera Weekly:
From first kiss to marital Bliss, a gamut of sexual relationships is explored on the Nov 30
episode of Virginal teen-ager Jessie takes her first tentative steps toward adulthood when she shares a kiss with high school hunk Tad, while at the other end of the spectrum, her divorced mom, Karen, looks to get back into the game by checking out a popular watering hole and considering a one-night stand. There's a delightful moment when Judy spots Karen looking through a book in the erotica section of Judy's new bookstore. The two women share a smile that acknowledges their sexuality as part of their basic humanity. Not to be let out of the hunt, Judy & Sam decide to take another turn at the mating dance. And, as if to demonstrate that nobody is perfect, Lily and Rick experience problems in the bedroom for the first time. Sela Ward & Billy Campbell (Lily & Rick) are not just incredibly good-looking people, they're talented actors, depicting all of their characters' faults, foibles and frailties in the most realistic - and sympathetic - manner. In a lovely scene that richly illustrates the importance of communication, Rick & Lily share some of their romantic and sexual fantasies. (We especially loved Rick's "naughty knight" scenario.) We won't spoil the...er, climax, but we will say that pillow talk pays off for the newlyweds and we can promise the episode ends on a wonderfully, um *uplifting* note. |
