I doubt it will be anytime soon cause they have to film an entirely new HD opening with new shots of everyone. It took GH like two years.

[marceline]

And now that they have it should be a lot easier for AMC to do it. Both shows are in HD and all the actors are on the west coast, albeit at various times. The actual production should be simple. It's the creative process that's probably insanely difficult.

I dont see why they would have to film an entirely new opening with everyone. The simplest and easiest move would be to just get th new people in and edit them into the spots that the existing characters leave

[alexisfan07]

If they want to do a temporary fix, sure. But they're not going to have HD widescreen, correctly proportioned shots of the newbies but standard def, stretched shots of the old cast members.

[Cheap21]

And I dont think thatsa problem bc the current opening doesnt look that bad. Id love to see a completely new opening but its better to update the current rather than wait 2 years as you mentioned wiith GH

You team Edward people just never miss an opportunity to bitch, do you? j/k

I have no opinion on this new kid, but I do see him as a James/Markko mashup as Cheap pointed out. It's a pretty striking resemblance.

[marceline]

Ohnoyoudidnt! For the record, the only Twilight team I'm on is Team Kick Bella's Pathetic Codependent Ass.

For vampires, I prefer TB's Eric.

I like him and Krystal together, even though at the moment, I still like him better with Erica. I think it's going to be interesting when Erica gets back and see that he's gotten closer to Krystal. But Krystal seems to have feelings for Jack, so the Caleb/Erica/Krystal/Jack quad could end up being interesting.

I did notice today that when Krystal, came out of her restaurant, today, he looked her over and said something like "Whoa, um ummm." It looked like he was appreciating the way she looked in her dress.

And then he said that Babe was pretty "like her mother". I do think that he's attracted to Krystal. And he likes her and acts nice around her. He likes Erica, but he's not as nice to Erica.

I prefer him in mountain man mode as well. I think that he looks younger and sexier with the beard, than without it. Plus he did look uncomfortable in the suit. I understand that he was supposed to be uncomfortable in the suit, one reason because he probably hasn't worn one for a long time. But I thought he looked better in mountain man mode, with his beard and plaid shirts.

TWO YEARS?! What the hell?

GH went HD April 23, 2009 and the new HD opening debuted February 23, 2010. Exactly 10 months. Where did two years come from?

[Cheap21]

Dont know. I was responding to what Alexisfan07 said. I dropped GH during that time period (roughly spring 2008) so I have no clue when it went HD

[marceline]

Good to know. That means there's no reason that AMC shouldn't have a new opening with the quickness. I know there was stuff to work out with the move, contract-wise, but that's done. It just breaks my heart to keep seeing Adam, Joe and Palmer knowing that each is gone, especially Palmer. He needs to take his place in the "scrapbook" with Phoebe, Myrtle and Mona. That's the right place for him now, IMO.

[All My Shadows]

IMO, the current opening looks like crap when sandwiched between the pretty, pretty HD show. Even on a non-HD TV, the difference is glaring. The generic ABC openings had their 6 years on the air, it's time for them to get the stepping and for the shows to look different again. I'm glad the bumpers seem to be individual to each show again.

[marceline]

Thank you. ABCD is HD now. AMC's opening is glaringly out of place next to GH.

[R Sinclair]

ANGELA?! Is that you?

[Juliajms]

Yeah. me too, as evidenced by my avatar. Actually, I tried to watch Twilight on demand recently and couldn't even get through it. I guess that shows my age.

I really hope this quad happens. It's something I'd love to see.
