Could It be Ryan's Hope?
I'm probably way off

I say it looks like Ryan's Hope, too.

Have no idea. Whatever happened to Clorets?

The actor in the Clorets commercial is Richard Herd, best known for playing Captain Sheridan on "T. J. Hooker" and John in the original "V."

Looking around The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television, I found a character named Micelli on The Edge of Night in 1976. There was also a character named Deborah. According to the Tribune's weekly recap of the soaps around that time, The Edge of Night had this plotline: "Deborah insisted Danny that be fired," which seems to be this scene.
