Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 They won't make the themes longer--soap credits nowadays I believe always run about 50 seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 GH's new one is 55..so yeah, give or take a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 OLTL's is only about 30 seconds. An extra twenty to fit the whole cast wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah, it's annoying how short the opening song is compared to GH and AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Does OLTL rotate their opening every day, like depending on who's in the episode?? I cant remember cause I havent paid attention to the credits in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Didn't they use the full version today for the Snoop remix? (Which is actually much better than the real theme) Yes, there are 2-3 different versions of the opening credits, but only Erika Slezak is in all of them (and rightfully so).

Members alexisfan07 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 They did do a Snoop remix today, yea. There are two openings and no, there are multiple people in both: John, Natalie, Rex, Starr, Todd, and Viki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I love the current short opening Days uses. I always felt the long one just goes on too long. This one is short, to the point. I also love the current short B&B opening, and hate the long one. The short one just fits so much better. I hate the long one because it just looks tacky. And it doesnt fit the show at all. And the character and actor names tossed in at every random direction is just horror. I loved the classic one. I would like Y&R's if they ever updated it. Its a great opening and fits the show perfectly. But the lack of updates kills it. Just go to a title card. I love those cheesy late 80's opening. I hate the porn opening. AW's late 80's opening is a fave of mine. It was just fun. I liked the last opening too. I love Edge of Night's 80's opening, i think its the 80's. It has some bright colors and the actor shots in it. I like OLTL's opening, all of them, but have never loved one. I loved AMC's 2003ish opening with the gold and white and the names. I really like their current one. I hate that 90's one with the wood desks and the white background pictures. The best soap opening ever, for me, is GH's Faces Of The Heart. I have never cared for an ATWT opening. The only GL opening i liked was the 2002ish one with Joan Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 JP, I think you have the two 90s AMC openings jumbled together (one was a photo album, random photos etc, on a wood desk, the other was the White/"shots of pine valley" one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 This is true. I am not a fan of the one with the desk but i dont hate it. I HATE that one with the white shots of pine valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 As long as DAYS kept the Macdonal Carey voiceover, and the hourglass apart of it I wouldn't mind an opening with cast shots. With the current cast I would do it in this order: Bo Hope Carly Vivian Victor Kate Stefano EJ Sami Rafe Arianna Brady Nicole Mia Chad Gabi Will Caroline Roman Abe Lexie Daniel Chloe Philip Stephanie Melanie Nathan Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ugh. U would hate it. total hate. The opening doesnt need to be touched. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 The short opening they use now blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I disagree. I prefer the short opening over the long one. But i always prefer shot openings. B&B's included. I love that most primetime shows now use a title card or a opening under 10 seconds. I also love that Days has the mid show bumper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 The short Days opening reminds me of the shortened Passions opening that just featured "You are my passion for life". It's not as good as the long one. As for cast shots, they're tacky, and all soaps would benefit from removing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
