Members Faulkner Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 Felicia wrapping herself with the boa in the AW opening always stuck with me. Dylan stumbling around shirtless in the GL opening Tony Reardon doing the karate kick in GL's disco opening This shot of Holly from the late '80s GL opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 That dog running behind Cord was the best freaking part of that opening. That and the hilariously cheesy Peabo Bryson song. I thought of another clip I loved when I was younger. Annie Parisse's (the 1st Julia) on ATWT's shot during the white opening. She had the best one there. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 I might be in the minority but I loved the shots in AW's 96-99 opening (and the opening itself. . .). A lot of hair tossing and groping (from Lorna and Gabe) but the shots were great minus a few *coughs* Joe smothering Paulina shot (as he did as a character) *coughs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 I loved that opening. And, the one before it (The opening with the Crystal Gayle song) When I was a young laddie. Every time the AW opening came on I was like....This is my cue to stop playing with my tea set and avert my eyes to the tv NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah, even though it was blatantly inspired by er, I thought it was a very good, fitting opening for AW. I especially loved the closing version of the theme which had a lot of heart and soul imho, it was almost mournful sounding which seemed oddly apt after the cast shot on a cold evening in Brooklyn and approached cancellation.

Members DRW50 Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 I thought it was very foolish to do an opening when you could not afford to update it properly. That opening by the last two years could have just shown Victoria Wyndham, then cut to the Jeffersons credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 It just reeked of desperation to me. I am the first one to call out soaps for failing to modernize but you can modernize without being ridiculous. Look at the current Days opening or the Y&R porn opening for examples of modernizing without looking like gigantic fake knockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
