I am not a regular viewer, but I do check in when I here Cady McClain is on. Is it jsut me, or are they showing the same few characters in the opening credits? A lot of the big guns (Paul, Barbara, Maddie, Margo) are not featured? Am I just missing the second version?

The second version of the new opening hasnt been shown yet.

I can't wait for "Nuke" to heat up! And speaking of current openings, I hope they're smart enough to have one with "Nuke" appearing together!

Hope you post more Vanguardian on the ATWT threads and the Nuke love fest(on the love/hate part of the board).

The characters who were left out aren't missing much. After 46 years of turning in space, the world has had a backdrop of pastels and gold lame.

I do like how the current opening has classic clips in the background(You can see a old clip of Carly kissing Jack, Bob kissing Lisa, a teenage Lily talking to Lucinda etc.) But you're right I miss the globe in space! The 2002-07 opening ruined tradition...

Yea. The ATWT openign has changed. it does not have the globe feel.

The old clips are fine, but I think they'd be better if you only saw one character at a time like in Y&R's opening. It feels like too much visual information, trying to see the vintage and the modern simultaneously before it ends.

I agree...ATWT's opening is much too busy and actually kinda tacky. AMC's opening pulls off the nod to history much better.

But like AMC, ATWT didn't need a new openiong--their last one hardly seemed used before it was replace dand was superior (in both cases)
