Members All My Shadows Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 I love both versions of the white openings that were posted, so BOO to you, juniorz (I still you, though!). The only thing that I would change is that I'd do away with the white-washing (gasp, that word!) of the background and just have it be a solid background, so that it's clearer to see what the footage in the back is. Yes, even the horses. 70s ATWT, to me, epitomizes what it means for a soap to be an event every single day. The music is just epic.

Members rangethatrover Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 This one from GL in 1985 is very, very nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvZ5v8gYwko...feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Nope. They've only ever changed Taylor, Jackie, Felicia and Amber's shots. Rick needs a new one, like... yesterday. She's had three: the one with the god-awful wig, the one with the short hair and the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 That's one of my favorites too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 I also love the jazz arrangement of the "My Guiding Light" theme. Here's the closing for it from 1986, I couldn't find an opening.

Members detroitpiston Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 I like it too, but it's not as good as this version IMO.

Members dragonflies Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 AMC does need to update it's opening, WHY is Babe still in the opening? She's been six feet under since October I agree that they need to update the character shots for Zach, Kendall, Ryan, Annie and a few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 14, 2009 Members Share Posted February 14, 2009 I love all the versions of the Ryan's Hope openings. I think the one from the early 80's is my favourite. The theme and the opening itself are so fitting for the show.

Members Jonathan Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 This opening featured a lot of actors who eventually ended up at All My Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 There's something about this opening I never really liked. I think it's because it reminded me of an afterschool special and not a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I liked the original RH opening, but then they had their own version of what doomed AW's last opening. So many actors left and they had to cut them out of the opening. Finally they just showed Maeve and Johnny with little John and kept that opening for years. That last opening RH had drove me crazy with those awful fake bird sounds in the background. I've never been able to get the Loving theme song out of my head. I also like this opening for Another Life. I think it sort of sums up all elements of a soap, ending with the central theme of that show (besides big hair), the Bible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJX4o2q4sXQ And I love the 80s theme for ATWT. I listened to that theme during my formative soap years and it brings back so many memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I loved the 1989 opening from GL "> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 ^That version is so 80's, even more so than the ones that came before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I love the way Grant Aleksander seems to be nodding/dancing to the theme music in the opening. He is so hot in that pic. Gosh how I miss Johnny Bauer(James M. Goodwin). Carl T. Evans was a cutie back then. Here is probably ATWT best opening. My favorite will always be on and on. They said this one was abandoned because it cost too much. It is a shame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Z6UMrHEPE&hl=en&fs=1 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
