I think GH's looks good for the most part

I'm just glad they didn't try to stick both the character and actors names. That's visual overload.

Love love love love love it.

Best opening on the air.

LOVE that they used clips from the shows. Something different for a change.

I think that maybe Shannon might be recurring too, and her and Chrishell's recurring status are why they aren't in the opening. I think that she might be the answer to one of the SOD's Blind Items, about a soap actress wanting to leave to focus more on her movie career.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Chrishell's been recurring ever since the move. Shannon, I guess is now too.

I think GH's looks good for the most part

same here. After this debut's GH will have the best opening on the network

Love love love love love it.

Best opening on the air.

Best opening on the air? Really? I think GH's better than this cheap opening, and it looks cheap, GH's and OLTL's don't IMO.

Clips from the show, who cares, I want the photo album back, it's the backbone of the openings

I REALLY don't like it. The logo going over the character shots is cheesy at best. And I miss the posed character shots. They could've at least put the character names on it, sheesh. And worst of all is the lack of pictures of past cast members.

And WOW, no Amanda or Natalia? Both are still listed as under contract in the closing credits so that's a major WTF to me.

It is very similar to that GL open and I don't like it

But I guess it will make it easier for those (non-existent) new viewers to understand that Jackson is a lawyer etc etc

I do like the shot of Bianca, Erica and Kendall. Best part for me.

Why does JHC always attribute everything to "environments"? It's her response for everything! She even said they killed Dixie to better ground the show's environments or something like that.

ETA: After watching it a couple more times I'm warming up to it a bit.

It would be a lot better if the album was more pronounced.

Daniel Cosgrove's shot is one of the best because it clearly was shot specifically for the opening.

Is it just me or does Sarah Glendening looks a lot like Jamie Luner in her shot?

As for Shannon Kane, it kind of looks like maybe she was part of it initially? There's a bit of free space between Brot and Madison clips.

remember this SOD Blind Item: "One ABC starlet with a budding film career may not be long for the soap world. Buzz around the set is that she'll soon fly the nest"

Maybe it is Shannon Kane after all

I don't think it looks cheap at all. I would have preferred they used the book at the beginning as they did at the end to signify more of the photo album but I think it's pretty awesome.

Your avatar makes me shudder, that poop brown color, and I'd rather see the book from the top looking down.

AMC's budget must really suck, kind of funny since the move was supposed to save them money

Didn't Dallas have an opening like that with the letters going over character's like that? I know one primetime show did, was it Dallas?

I wish they would've gotten rid of the guitar riffs.

I hope they do a better job of transitioning between the last scene of the 1st act and the opening. It's so rushed and abrupt without any buildup. They need to create some tension in the 1st act. Bring back the duh, duh, duh...

At least with the old one we got shots of old characters like Phoebe, this one just feels so generic

I miss the duh duh duh big time.

After seeing this all I can is wow...just wow. What an interesting new opening. lol

It makes me scared to even speculate as to what kind of new opening for OLTL that Frank Valentini is currently working on. Very, very scared...
