right? honeslty i know they have the most complex opening of all the soaps, but is it honestly that hard to update? dont they have a team of people that do this for them? and B&B has images over images and chances the color up and adds names and they do it in a flash. so... i just dont understand.

Y&R HAS ALWAYS been bad with updating it's openings, this isn't a recent trend.

But I definitely want a new formatted opening. I'm sick of this one, it's worn out its welcome after 5 years. David Shaughnessy gave us this opening when the show celebrated it's 35th Anniversary in 2003. Maybe if we get a new EP (because Josh Griffith needs to go), he or she will either update this one or give us a new one completely.

If only there'd be a chance they'd go down the porn opening route again... that was so wonderful. I like this one too, but it's way too outdated. However, the porn opening could probably be even more harder for them to update.

And they never updated the porn opening too, I believe. LOL!

Michelle Stafford returned in 2000, and she was never added, and that opening lasted until 2003.

As for the porn theme, it was OK then, but I don't want it back. The classic version of Nadia's Theme is too identified with Y&R, and a lot of people were turned off by that rendition of the song at the time.

They've used several versions of Nadia's Theme over the years, but most have been rearranged in a more classical tradition, which is what I want.

It really isn't that hard for them to insert a couple of actors. I'd LOVE it if they had all the contract cast in the opening, and make, like, 5 different openings or something. But they just won't do that.

I'm one of those people. :lol: I love the classic arrangement of Nadia's Theme. Seriously, it gives me goosebumps, especially when it launches into the melodic main instrumental. LOL, I always associate Michael Grazadei's credit (where he's running across the screen) with that bit.

The porn theme? Eh. It would make a good closing credit. But it was all too 80s Rawk for me.

ok, let's discuss the sorasing of Summer...just last month she actually walked for the first time on screen...down the aisle at her Grandfather's wedding with her mother walking behind just to make sure she made it without a detour.... and now she looks to be about 4 years old!!!

so does this mean that Nick and Phyllis have been married 4 years ???? or did Phyllis have Summer two years before Saint Cassie died???

some fans get a little crazy when it comes to their favorite characters, and sorasing has always been a sore issue with some, it is hard to say exactly how old a character is or how much time has passed...Nick is a prime example, he goes off to boarding school as a 8 or 9 year old and comes back as a 17 year old character by hunky Joshua Morrow!!!

    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
