Favorite Opening Credits Shots

What are yours?

Some of mine:

(also loved the two alternating shots of her in the "signature" credits ca. 2002)

-Adam and Stuart in the double frame from "Falling Pictures" (actually, I loved the whole frame sequence before the pictures started falling)

(all of the variations of Joan's shot in the credits were great, but this one is perhaps the most iconic)

-Roger (Michael Zaslow) in his tux in GL's Hold on to Love opening

-From the same opening, the final shot of Harley (Beth Ehlers) doing her sexy bop across the dance floor (I also liked the shot of Marcy Walker as Tangie, sipping her champagne, that would later replace Beth's shot... interesting how they'd later be connected with the whole Liza Colby replacement debacle)

-Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) in the pewter dress in the old B&B opening

I'll stop here for now so I don't end up stealing everybody else's.

Pics, gifs, and time specific links are great, but not at all necessary as we'll know exactly what you're talking about. :) Please refrain from embedding videos so everyone can enjoy the thread without it clogging and crashing.

I liked Nora's confident smirk and pose in the OLTL credits of the mid-late 90s.

The non posed one where she kind of raises her head? I agree, that's a great one. Someone mentioned Gina Tognoni's from that opening flipping her head around - that was a great one. I also liked Roger's post-haircut where he kind of turns around too. That opening is my second favorite, music and visuals.

I was actually gonna mention this shot but I didn't want people misunderstanding that I liked Babe. She looks like Britney Spears. Also the spinning frame effect on it was awesome.

what does it matter if people think you like Babe?

These were among my favorite shots from the old B&B opening, but I basically found all of them gorgeous.

Favorite shots from German soaps:

Tina's shot from the 1996-1998 GZSZ opening

Eva's angel/devil shot from the current UU opening:

GZSZ's ending group shot from the 2003-2004 opening:

Sonja's necklace shot from the 1998-2001 GZSZ opening... first she grabs her necklace and then she gives us a disapproving look before fading into the background

Sonja's curtain shot from the 2001-2002 GZSZ opening... first she looks surprised, then she turns on the bitchy mode, swings around and disappears behind the curtain

VL, clockwise: Clarissa in front of the castle, (1998), Clarissa in front of the castle (2000), Clarissa in her armchair (2000), Tanja looking like the murderess she is (2004-2006)

Who is that with the rose around her neck? She looks dead.

I liked Dorian's ticky-neck shot from this opening with the little square of her luring Joey (I presume) to bed. I didn't really care for the shot which replaced it, her holding the rose at La Boulaie (which reminded me of Rachel and her rose in the final You Take Me Away to Another World credits).

There were a lot of Neighbours scenes I liked in their 1998-era credits...like the Kennedy family and Toadie trying to move a large dresser down some stairs, and when Lance's mother kissed him on the cheek, he disgustedly put his hand on his face, and wiped his hand on his sister's sleeve. That sequence ends with everyone in the street playing stickball, or whatever. It's a nice community feeling.

Looks like Sheila to me.

No that's Sofia Alonso, played by Sandra Vidal. She was a contract role from 2001 to 2002.

Thank you for including the German soaps. That Tanja shot (the 96-98 one) is a real standout.

Thanks! I couldn't place her.
