Best Soap Opera Theme

[Cheap21]

Does this theme thing only go for Daytime soaps, cause there's a few primetime soaps who's themes I loved

Go for it. Heck I'll start. Loved Sannah's. Such a slow and classy theme

I rememebr this being relatively long for such a small cast. This thing would never fly today...lol

Go ahead.

I'm not ashamed to admit I loved this Knots Landing variation of the theme and the opening. I know some hated it.

Well the post title says "Best Soap Opera Theme" so I don't think it means just daytime

I also love this OLTL theme. It's just exquisite. The music is too loud but I don't care. It's at about :40.

I even loved the last season's theme variation.

The theme was fine but the actual opening was awful. How generic and boring

I love the Knots openings in general

Here's a Melrose Place opening

I liked the Melrose Place music but not big on that opening. Same for original 90210.

What! MP was a classic

How awesome was Model's Inc?

I always hated how the one black girl wasnt in the final shot!

Peabo and Crystal Gayl's AW was such a winner. That was Peabo, right?

Gary Morris and Crystal Gayle, actually. Peabo only did the OLTL theme in the 80s.

Can't forget this opening

When did soaps start adding characters names to the openings?

Y&R's porn theme debuted in 1999 with actors' names, so that's when that started, but ABC added character names in 2002, I think when AMC returned to the 90-94 theme.

No it started in 2000 with PC

IF we're just talking about the music and not the visuals, the GL Ritounelle theme will always be my favourite. So amazingly haunting, yet calming at the same time.

Here's the original version (not on YT, oddly enough):
