New OLTL opening for 40th anniversary?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I was just checking things out at abcmedianet.com and ran across this new OLTL logo. The AMC and GH logos on their respective show pages at the site still have the same logos from the present openings, but the one from OLTL that did have "OLTL" in big letters with "One Life to Live" in small type in front of it has been replaced by this:

Wonder if this means that a totally new OLTL opening is coming for the show's 40th anniversary on July 15th?

I honestly have no idea, but it has made me curious.

This was the logo that had been posted on the OLTL page at MediaNet.

I know....but I keep hoping and praying that they are working on a new opening....and the 40th anniversary would be the perfect time to debut it.

I hope not....but you're right too, this opening is crappy. I like the music, but the pictures are awful. And they were even worse with Snoop Dogg's theme, again all because of the crappy images.

I always did like the bumper images, with AMC and the pearls, GH and the stethoscope, and OLTL and the scales of justice. I like them as simple bumper images, but I don't think they'd work as actual opening credits sequences. AMC needs the damn photo album and GH needs some hospital/ambulance action (you know, since that's totally represented by the current opening). OLTL's symbols is so nonexistent, it's sad. Especially considering they've had three symbols that would have worked marvelously: the fire, the sunrise/clouds, and Llanview itself. Honestly, OLTL should have GL's opening, but with more prominent headshots and a less shitty song.

I want the show to go back to the Tour of Llainview II Opening. The visuals were beautiful and the music was upbeat and catchy. It's also the OLTL opening I grew up on.

All of the ABC shows could go back to to their pre-rebranding openings and I'd have no problems about it all. All three were visually stunning and just very beautiful ways to begin the shows. The dark, depressing openings we have now are just horrible.

I'd love a Tour of Llanview opening that begins with a sunrise and ends with clouds. That'd tie together two of OLTL's almost-symbols perfectly.

    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is probably one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
