Will they ever update this thing or are they trying to beat Y&R's record for most years with an outdated opening?. I thought for sure they would get a new one when the show went to HD but that didnt happen. Saw it just now and it still has Justus who was killed off how many years ago?

I totally agree, it's ridiculous.

To my knowledge, Olivia is still a recurring character. IF they update after Ric exits the canvas, I think we'll see:

Removed:

Kate

Ric

Jerry

Men Shot (PLEASE GOD!)

Added:

Claudia

Johnny

Ethan

Michael

Epiphany

Rebecca

Kristina?

As for sequencing...

Sonny

Carly

Jax

Claudia (New)

Jason

Sam

Lucky

Elizabeth

Nikolas

Rebecca (New)

Alexis

(Hospital)

Epiphany (New)

Patrick

Robin

Mac

Maxie

Spinelli

Johnny (New)

Lulu

Ethan (New)

Michael (New)

Edward

Alan/Monica

Tracy

Luke

My order got messy around the Spinelli/Johnny/Lulu/Ethan/Michael/Edward section, but I didn't know how to order them any better.

ETA: Thanks to that dreaded man shot, Scott Clifton appears in both the GH and OLTL openings.

Will Billy Dee be on contract?

I'm not sure is Kristina is contract or not when she starts airing.

Wow, surprised to hear Lisa LoCicero is recurring. I know we don't see much of Olivia, but you would think she would be a supporting actress with a contract.

You forgot about Matt.

Everyone forgets about poor Matt. He is finally getting a story so that is good.

Matt is growing on me. The recent magic of Scrubs has revealed his appeal.

If the jettisoned that shitastic "Men Only -- and 80% of us are dead anyways" sequence, they could put in individual shots of everybody + the hospital + an ambulance and have it slow down a touch from all the whiplash-fast pacing of the shots. Honestly, I miss Faces of the Heart for its music but also for the CLARITY of the opening. Everybody was present and accounted for.

LMAO! Dammit if I didn't remember that I forgot him days ago, but haven't been back to the board since.

I'd put Matt in between Epiphany and Patrick.

i wouldnt say matt gets a story.

i like him, i wish he would.

but he gets 3 seconds of a story before it becomes all about patrick. lol.

I also agree they need to update their opening.I would like to see patrick and robin and emma together.they are a family.I want them to take off the people that are not on the show anymore.I think it is about time they do it.

Anytime I've ever watched the GH opening (and believe me I try to avoid that show like the plague), I've always wondered why didn't also have a shot at the end of all the contract actresses on the show as well, and then they could rotate them between the men and the women.

I know. And, they always updated it. Seems like it would be cheaper to update as well. Think of that Frons

It had like 44 updates from 1993 to 2004.

FOTH was eay to update because everybody had their own little shot.

The current opening is weirdness, what with random people lumped together so fast. If they quit the Men Only ending completely, they could put in individual head shots and pace it better.

I don't know....I would have to argue with that. OLTL has had some pretty good openings in the last few decades. Such as the 'Tour of Llanview' version of the mid-to-late '80s with Peabo Bryson lyrics, and the 'Tour of Llanview Two' version of the mid '90s, which had the upbeat, more urban music.
