They were! In fact the last time I knew that Chris & Snapper’s theme aka “Love is Gone” was played was as late as 2011. 
 

Still trips me out watching a 1993 episode with a Newman board meeting convening with the Genoa City theme playing LOL.

Oh my heart! I'm gonna be in heaven, my baby Dru back onscreen for a FULL WEEK!

 

NOTHING with ***king Cane.

 

I like they didn't choose anything from after VR left (they know what's up) but it is bizarre that they jump from 1994 to 2005.

Oh this is such good news!!!

 

 

I'm currently watching the 2002 episode. First off what t he hell was that opening theme lol, is that the famous porn intro?

 

And jesus everyone is blonde blonde blonde. Why did Ashley have such a terrible wig on? Did Traci ever have issues with Ashley being married to her ex husband?

 

Why is Sharon so fidgety this episode, same with Nick? Is this one of those periods where they're cheating on each other?

 

I just love seeing how checked in Eric Braeden used to be. I can only assume he just doesn't give a shi.t about the writing anymore.

1) Yes, that's the porn intro. That was the first intro I ever saw and I loved it immediately, it felt like sexy primetime syndicated series lol.

 

2) Ashley was battling breast cancer. I assume Traci did, but I don't think Traci was much of a presence on the show at the time. 

 

3) Sharon slept with Raul's brother and Victoria found out. She then told Nick. I can't remember WHY she slept with him though.

She had had the hots for him for the longest time. Diego used to work at Crimson Lights. Sharon and Nick had broken up because Nick had somewhat caused Sharon's miscarriage (she was carrying a baby but they did not know if it was Nick's or Matt Carter's since Matt had possibly abused her). I think once Sharon saw Diego with Victoria, that was the last straw lol. Somebody correct me, my memory has never been the greatest.

 

PS. loved the porn intro.

Nick told her to get an abortion or give the baby up he didn't want to raise Matt Clark's baby. Sharon started thinking about when she gave up Cassie and she had dreams about Matt/Carter returning. They fought and Nick walked out. Something happened with Nick's car and Sharon ran out to see if he was ok. She fell and the chair punctured her stomach. She lost the baby and was angry at Nick. They separated for a time. Cassie became close to Diego and that's how Sharon was around him more outside of CL. There was some paralegal hitting on Nick, they kissed. Then Grace Turner came back to town, Sharon saw Grace with Nick. Sharon assumed he was cheating again, she turned to Diego. Then Nick surprised her with a second honeymoon, he explained everything. They got back together. Then Diego started dating Victoria. Sharon confessed to Nick she slept with Diego. Nick attacked Diego and Victoria found out. Then they all had to get ready for Victor/Nikki's wedding.

I did not like the porn intro overall.  However, the regular intro had become kind of bland by the mid to late 90’s, and the porn intro went in on dramatic shots again.  
 

The entire Abbott centric one is great- Ashley with her dress silhouette and turn, Jill shaking her hair out and strutting. I also thought Sharon and Nick looked sexy and cool in their all black shots that dissolve into each other, Brad all in black spin, and Malcolm and Olivia have great shots too.  Although it is horrible that they are relegated to one opening, and several characters are in more than one.  The show often had no clue just how good and important their black cast was to the audience.

 

But the old intro had been boring for a few years.  Especially when you compare it to Nikki’s hair flip, Katherine’s necklace, Ashley being given a rose, even Danny rocking out.  They stopped going for the drama.

 

This video has all the 1999 intros in one place, and you can really see the jolt the new one arrives with.  Porn one starts at 1:56

Oh yeah, I remember that. Nick stormed out, he threw a chair on the floor. When Sharon walked back into the house she fell exactly on the leg of the chair. It was beautifully coreographed IMHO. Plus it was your typical 'blame-game storyline' (a staple in Bell shows) where you would discuss with people IRL who was to blame really. 

Thanks for the details! I wish I had your memory!

I just want to say (since I'm not done reading all the pages before now) that I am loving all the AD Diane discussions. Sooo good.

 

That said...today for me is EVERYTHING.  Heather Tom Victoria, Mary Williams, all the Kay/Mac talk, Olivia, and Victor vs Jack in their prime. I have errands, and I REFUSE to leave...lol.

I know I am in the minority but that might be because when I was a regular viewer regularly it was the one I knew, but I liked the porn intro...and I STAN Jill's hair toss.  lol. 

 

But as I gotten older, I do like the older opening...my favorite one Kay with her necklace done so well with the music and classy. But I can understand why people don't like the red one.

@kalbir I see why you love this. It really is a great scene. It has MORE meaning to me now that I am older because I see so  much nuance to it now. Just...wow. There's an intensity, an anger that I don't feel I am used to from Victor. And Even he caught himself at the end. LOVE.

Even as a kid, I remember that! Nick was such a jerk for that.

I'm not at all a fan of the actors posing on the white background. It looks cheap even for the early to mid-90s (especially since comparatively GH and OLTL at the time had rock solid openings). The sketches however were GORGEOUS. If they went back to that I would be happy.

    • I agree.  How many times did we have to watch Bobby vs. J.R., or Blake vs. Alexis, knowing that nothing would change at the end, and that everything would go back to status quo, so that they could fight the same, exhausting battles all over again?  If nothing else, I give FC and KL credit for trying to keep things fresh, even if I think FC, in particular, went too far in the other direction and became unrecognizable even to the most diehard fans. Exactly.  Plus, because viewers were so burned out by the kind of serialized storytelling that was beginning to affect even half-hour comedies, I think MSW represented a nice change of pace.  You didn't have to watch every week, or watch from the beginning of each season, to know what was going on with Miss Fletcher.  Instead, you could watch a complete story in one episode, de-stress from whatever had happened in your own life last week, gear yourself up for the week ahead, and be okay. If you notice, though, there were differences between those two shows and what Aaron Spelling had produced in the past.  For one thing, there was a greater emphasis on youth; and while characters on 90210 and MP certainly had more disposable incomes than the average viewer, their wealth wasn't as opulent as what we'd seen on DYNASTY or on "Hart to Hart."  Even the battles among Alison, Amanda, Billy and others at that advertising agency weren't as histrionic as those between Denver Carrington and ColbyCo.
    • I saw a conversation yesterday with Liam with the 7 dwarves hat and Steffy -  I know she did not say re: Hope and Liam said - well look at Finn and you forgave him right?      I know I did not hear Steffy say “well but you can’t compare that to…”  For *uck sake someone call the bitch out!?     You’re right, we shouldn’t compare your forgiveness for the dude with devil spawn seed whose daughter locked you in a cage along with crazy stepmom/mom/Grandmother who has also SHOT YOU BOTH - and multiple murder attempts but you have to exist with them / Hope’s part in a takeover which you know was FAR LESS THAN CARTER BECAUSE HOPE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY…. Goodness no, no the same thing at alllllllll.   When they do Steffy’s absence at least let it be because they all find out what a manipulative ho she is in her own right.      
    • I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
    • So, this was fun. Elsewhere, friendly to polls, a poll on what do you want to see at the Nurses Ball. The Gio reveal got 18%, for Blaze to return & sing also got 18%, for Jennifer Hudson to do a cameo & sing got 10% and for Lucy to lose various parts of clothing got 9% but the huge one was the reveal of Drew/Nina sex which got a whopping 45%!  
    •   I liked the effect of the curtains closing. Yeah it was like the end of Act I.   Or maybe they are simply trying to emphasize the drama of the end of an episode -- instead of a random abrupt end that has happened in some prior episodes.
    • I posted this in the behind the scenes thread but I know this thread is busier so wanted to mention it here as well. During their instagram live yesterday, Daphnee Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant mentioned that they will find out this month if the show is renewed for another season. Just a heads up so we can keep an eye out for an announcement and keep our fingers crossed for a multi-year renewal!
    • They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room.  It was really nice of Roman.  I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace.  That was unclear-at least to me. ETA-I feel like the Bistro might just die and people will just pretend to order food there like Leo did today.  Sophia is on bed rest so no one works there anymore.  They can use that set for something else.
    • I'm not sure how I felt about it, but I do kind of like that it felt like the show telling us this concludes the first chapter of the series. Could be interesting if they only do it for big aftermath episodes. The biggest mistake with Martin is that it's almost hard to buy his anger because we've gotten no strong scenes with him and his parents. They've all been with Anita/Vernon. I can't even remember him ever even saying one word to Nicole, even in passing.
    •   Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense.
