Members Gray Bunny Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 At least GL did a quick flash of almost all of the previous opening titles at the start of the last episode (that happened right? I didn't imagine that just now did I? haha). I wish all soaps' powers-that-be knew that little touches like that really go far with the longterm soap fans who like stuff like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRMzqXJFeMM Why didn't GL keep this opening? It was their last decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 ^ How many openings has GL had? Like 7000? I didn't even know that one existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I LOVED THAT GL OPENING! They were stupid to get rid of it for that annoying hands opening, which should have only lasted like a day or 2 for the anniversary. Also that one would have worked perfectly with their new production model that they had for the last few years, but no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CSF Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 That was from 1981 – 1982, it was Guided Lightning or Guiding Lightning. Part of the great P&G Facelift, I think it was the only opening out of all their soaps that didn't work, hence My Guiding Light in 83, same visuals, just different music.

Members DRW50 Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think the disco ran into 1983. I thought it was great. There just wasn't a need to keep it any longer, as disco was already dead dead dead and the show had changed tone and focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 That GL opening looks like an ABC soap opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 You may be right maybe mid-83. I know up until Conboy retired the 50th anniversary opening, it was GL's shortest lived opening. Funny though, the disco opening was replaced by a very popular opening and the lifesavers/50th anniversary opening was replaced with a bad powerpoint presentation.

Members Gray Bunny Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 I thought I remember reading that the disco opening ran until sometime in August 1983, because the episode where Phillip found out he was adopted was shortly after they changed openings, as discussed by viewers either here or on WoST.
