AMC: When will Debbi & Darnell be added to the opening credits??

[AMCHistory]

C'mon Eric, let's not give ABC new ideas.

It looks like it will be a uniform update along the three shows. The new "grey" background promo photos that have been released for all three shows correlate with the new bumpers for GH and OLTL. I bet they were set photos taken. Too bad seeing how Alec Musser, Brent Weber, and now Jeff Branson are all no longer part of the show and they got some awesome shots.

The thing I hate about the current bumper shoots is how un-uniform the shots are. If you look at what I consider to be the "classic" show openings for the ABC soaps (Faces of the Heart for GH, Tour of Llanview for OLTL, or the White Opening for AMC), the shots had a certain uniformity, especially FOH, that made the openings look cohesive. They became a symbol for the show.

The current openings just have actors floating all over the place. There is no symbolism. It all just looks so messy.

Haha I was just teasing...

Which white openign do you mean for AMC? the 1995-2001 (around that time?) one? I admit my soft spot is still for the first full cast one which premiered the current theme (1990-1995)

They've just not filmed it yet...and if they would have changed everything we would have seen it by now (though I'm thinking they didn't)

It also depends on contract cycles on those they are getting rid of and when those end...

AMC should be getting a new updated version in the Spring.

Get one ASAP, along with new bumpers. Angie and Jesse are so amazing on here =)

They apparently filmed it last fall. We've already seen the photos and the clips are already airing on SN. Its just a matter of them editing it all together in an opening

[baller]

No, what was filmed for SoapNet was NOT a new opening.

The SoapNet filming were for the SoapNet Promos and done for that channel.

I like this opening, but I would like that they put new shots in it (new Kendall show, for example)....Angie & Jesse deserve to be on the opening right after Erica & Kendall...

Debbie and Darnell tape their openings this week

[dragonflies]

^^ You have a source for that?? Just curious

[JackPeyton]

I dont think that the new bumpers mean a new opening for all the soaps. I think the bumper shots are just that, bumper shots. I know an actress stated they filmed a new opening, but i assume it was actualy bumper shots and thats it. I can see them getting new openings soon tho, but i dont think it was what was filmed.

Soapnet promo's are the best. I love what they do with the actors.

[baller]

Yea...me. (and those I know at AMC)

[jackericafan]

PWOR but Darnell and Debbie taped their openings today (Fri 2/29)

[dragonflies]

Thanks for the info baller and jackericafan, any idea if it's a whole new opening, or just shots of D&D inserted into the current opening?

[AMCHistory]

I hope it is something new and clean. The current one is just too busy.
