Members Soapsuds Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 This opening with a new theme was left out. This was one of my personal favorites. It only last over a year though. My favorite opening was the 1983-1985 followed by the 1975-1981 leaves opening and 3rd the 1990 opening I posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 Even the closing was more visually appealing than the cheap white rip off of Y&R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 You’re quite welcome! It’s actually some old stuff I saved like 17 years ago from a WOST discussion topic I wish I knew who to give the proper credit too. I dug up a real version of the 1989-90 closing lol. The recreation itself wasn’t bad until I heard the narrator. It is unfortunate none of the themes and openings of the 00’s never came close to either. The 2002 opening looked great but I thought the music while decent was pretty generic. The 2003 open was a dingy cheap debacle. The 2005 open was adequate but nothing memorable. The less said about OLCSTW the better, while the absolute worst IMO was the 70th Anniversary open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 I enjoyed the arrangements this Italian fan did of the various theme songs - particularly the 'Ritournelle' one.

Members SFK Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 Right! Please register in order to view this content I sort of jumped in my seat when I heard that. I have fond memories of WoST where I was SoapFoxKirby. Christmas morning was always such a treat with the videos posted under the tree. Good times. @BetterForgottenThat’s very nice, clearly a labor of love. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TVFAN1144 Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 What was the cheap opening where it was a string of screen shots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 I think you're talking about "True Light," which ran during the John Conboy/Ellen Weston era. As I said at the time, the whole thing reminded me of some cheap talk show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 That opening is so beneath John Conboy. The theme sounds like a '90s local morning show and there's nothing innovative about the Knots-like scroll. HOTL at least had the cool beacon concept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 Agree. By the time MADD hired JC to run GL, he was just out-of-touch in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 That was the "Jenny Jones" of soap opera openings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TVFAN1144 Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 I wonder how much they had to pay Joan Collins for her “5 minute stint” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
