^ OMG I love those!!!! One thing I don't like is when there's a lot of different versions of an opening with different members of the cast in each. Y&R and OLTL are two that I know do that. I wish they could fit everyone in one opening.

ATWT does it, too.

That's right...I thought that they did but wasn't sure. I only watch it about once a week.

I don't know about Y&R and ATWT, but OLTL could easily get all their cast into one opening. They do not need two versions of it.

And the OLTL theme music is not bad, but it needs better visuals.

I loved the theme that they had before this one. The majority of it was blue and I think it was aired in the late 90's and early 2000's. It also had the characters names. Does anyone know which one I'm talking about?

Yes, I remember that one very well. They used it from 1995-2004. It was a variation of the 1984-1992 opening (which featured the famous lyrics of Peablo Bryson from 1987-1992).

JSF, I have to tell you, I LOVE those GL openings that you posted! Especially the first from 1983. I wouldn't say it was the best soap opening ever, but it was damn good. The compelling music combined with the shots from the show....I love "My Guiding Light"! However, as far as GL is concerned, NOTHING beats the Hold On To Love opening from the 90s. God, how I miss that opening...

And speaking of GL, I want the normal opening back! This "hands" opening (and I use that term loosely) SUCKS!

You mean they're still using that opening? I thought it was only used for the time right around the 70th anniversary date.

I don't watch GL though, so I'm not sure.

Yes, unfortunately the anniversary opening is still being used. God only knows why. :rolleyes:

Hmmm.....that's odd.

I did watch GL for the special 70th anniversary episode, although that's the only time I have ever watched it.

But I never cared much for that holding hands episode the day I did saw it.

Hey Scotty, 2 years ago I created a OLTL opening that had all of the cast in one. I used a different theme but you get my drift:

^^Seems like I remember seeing that one before. I wish they would use one like that on the show, with all the cast in one.

And I don't watch the CBS soaps, but isn't that the ATWT theme?

I LOVE THAT!!!!

And Scotty, yep that's ATWT's theme. I like it, but I think it should be more...hmm...what's the word....it should have more "umph" to it lol.

That's definitely one thing the ATWT open lacks (among others).

And one thing that the great "All My Children" opening has in spades -- among other things, of course. Honestly, I can't see why anyone would want to go back to the "gold" opening of 2002... it's just....hmmmmmmmmmmm... not enough "umph" as the current one, which brings together history with hip chords and beats and cuts. LOVE that opening. Wanna marry it.
