From that it looks like there is a lot of good footage that wasn't used from the opening. I liked the shot of Todd and Blair dancing and the solo shots of Rama and Natalie were pretty good. I hope when the show returns they keep the same opening style, but update the show. I'd prefer more separate shots and less couples.

I like the song but how about just show clips of the actors in scenes as their characters

[Chris B]

Clips is the easy way out IMO. I like the idea they have going, I just want more solo clips and for them to move faster. For example, Todd and Blair last too long and so does Dani's shot. Then you have Jack and Tea hardly in the opening. It needs to be more similar to Hollyoaks.

The Hollyoaks opening is amazing. Really classy. I bet the OLTL opening cost $3 at the most.

Interesting jamey from DC supposedly has some choice words about AMC and OLTL and he said he knows something about PP/AMC/OLTL but wont/can't tell,

And now I have to repost this again. Lovely.

Unlike cassadine who insists on bringing it here weekly, I actually listened to the podcast yesterday and I may have skipped around it here and there but I don't think I missed anything re: PP. Just to get it out of the way, I didn't get the impression that Giddens was holding back re: any talk of cancellation. He didn't mention any danger of that at all. He said he'd heard things about the shows but couldn't repeat them - I assume that's the same stuff some of us are hearing and won't repeat right now, and none of that has to do with cancellation.

They were surprisingly even-handed about the shows this time around, though none of them have any substantial history with OLTL as a viewer pre-Ron and that has always annoyed me when they start talking about the show. I don't agree with them about OLTL needing a full "reboot" or Eric Nelsen needing to go, but I thought they were a lot more fair than they ever had been and finally started treating them as more than an afterthought. And as they implictly noted, any modern soap in its first year had as many if not more kinks than these soaps thus far, with ten times the funding and corporate apparatus to prop it up.
