Well, since this has been rumored forever, I hope they got something of Maura before she left on maternity leave. Unless they're just using scene edits in the title.

It's a little different with the mid-show bumpers, that were shot as part of the CBS campaign. I guess Maura won't be part of that this year. :(

The past few years the CBS shoots have (I think, if someone remembers different, feel free to correct me) been shot in the middle of March on the West Coast. Maura was still on maternity leave then. I guess it doesn't mean they can't edit her in, but they never look the same when they do that.

I really like the current opening credits, it's a shame they couldn't just update them.

Anyway, I really don't want ATWT's new opening to be like GL's 2005-2007 opening. I really like that opening, but it wouldn't be appropriate for ATWT. I want something like what we have now, hopefully with a better globe though. I also don't want the "rock" type music that GL has, although again I really like it on that show. I want a theme song that's somewhat traditional, yet also hip... like what we have now, lol.

I really can't wait to see what it looks like....

It's about time! I know during the first time the aired the current opening MW was pregnant, but still on the show and so they used that photo. (It was clear she was heavier.) Later they replaced that shot with the current one. Since MW is such an important part of the show, I'm sure they'll work her in -- otherwise people may get the impression that she's gone. I hope they go with a hip theme. And, I know the globe will be there -- it is a part of TV history.

Didn't CBS, in the recent past, use a spinning globe with silver letters with the title of the show surrounding it? Many people on this board speculated that would be part of the new opening titles.

I would personally prefer they bring back Jelinda's Theme, although it may be pricey. It's so beautiful and classic. I would also prefer a title sequence with no glamour shots of the cast. It just comes off as cheap and cheesy and usually those types of title sequences don't tell us what the show is about(with the exception of shows like Y&R and B&B, which have always thrived on showcasing their actors in their opening credits). Even with a show like PASSIONS, that doesn't have its cast in the opening credits gets the point across...quirky, cheesy show that takes place in breathtaking New England. When I see PASSIONS opening title sequence, I get it.

I cringe everytime I see ATWT's current opening credits, because of how badly mismatched the shots are(as someone else mentioned in the thread).

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
