Ann Flood, ‘Edge of Night’s’ Longest-Running Cast Member, Dead at 87
Heartbreaking news on Tuesday. Beloved soap actress and star of Edge of Night, Ann Flood, has passed away at the age of 87. The announcement came from Flood’s longtime EON castmate, Sharon Gabet (Ex-Raven) who revealed the actress died a few days ago on October 7th.
Sharon shared via her Facebook page, “With great sadness… I found out yesterday that our dear ANN FLOOD passed away on October 7. She now joins her husband of 61 years and the rest of my beloved cast mates already in heaven. What a FABULOUS LIFE she had and what a party they all must be having! Here are a couple shots of Ann and Herb from my 1984 wedding and a shot from a company party for The EDGE of NIGHT. It just doesn’t seem possible… 
. How fitting that we are currently posting lost scenes from one of Ann’s best story lines – The Bryson Clinic.”
Flood joined the cast of CBS’s The Edge of Night in 1962 as Nancy Karr and remained with the soap through its transitional times; including the move to ABC where it became ‘Edge of Night’. When the show was eventually canceled back in 1984, Flood was its longest-running cast member.
The actress also appeared on other daytime soaps throughout her career including: From These Roots, Another World, Search for Tomorrow, All My Children and As the World Turns.
Ann is survived by her three sons and one daughter from her marriage to the late Herb Granath, who passed away in 2019.

This is such sad news. She, along with Maeve McGuire were two of my favorites. Rest in peace.
Oh my goodness–she projected such class and grace as Nancy; I remember her portrayal very well. Sad, sad news. As I said when Kathryn Hays passed away, I know this is going to happen, my old faves will pass on, it’s just the natural progression of things–but that doesn’t make it any easier to get this kind of news.
You said it because I remember EON as part of my CBS daytime lineup and remember fondly being in middle school when it moved to ABC. Sadly, I didn’t follow EON to ABC but I did follow SFT to NBC. The original beginning of the skyline on EON was the skyline of Cincy, I’m from Ohio.
I am so very sorry to hear this news. I was not a regular Edge of Night viewer but saw it from time to time. I enjoyed her character. She character came across as very strong and trustworthy. I also remember her from several TV commercials including Good Seasons salad dressing. She certainly had a long, varied and successful career.
Deepest sympathy to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
My mother was a HUGE fan of Edge and Ann Flood. I was delighted to be able to share with my Mom that I had the privilege to meet her beloved Nancy Karr years later. She was beautiful inside and out. A phenomenal woman. My heartfelt condolences to her awesome daughter Karen, and the rest of her family. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. — Wiley
OMG, so loved her on most of the shows mentioned, especially Edge. It was the one Soap my husband would watch as it was still on when he got home from work and we liked John Larkin who played Mike Karr then.
Forgot to mention her great part on From These Roots and the rest of the wonderful cast,i.e Rbt.Mandan, Craig Heubing, Barbara Berjer and more.
A true legend. Such a fine actress and a classy presence. She was remarkable in the Beau Richardson storyline in the mid-1970s and so many others. Her turn as Ella Hobbs on Search for Tomorrow really showed her range as an actress. And she had great chemistry with both Laurence Hugo and Forrest Compton (as Mike Karr).
Such a classy actress. So sorry to hear this and send condolences to her loved ones. We were blessed to have seen much of her work on our favorite soaps!
Rest in peace Ann Flood. I was a very big fan and always enjoyed your work. You were always so classy and cool.
