And another thing:  They need to scale back by 1 actor on how many are shown. The music has nearly faded out completely by the time we get to the HOLLYWOOD LIGHTS Y&R.

Omg Today Thurs March 23 CDN (Tomorrow Fri March 24 US)

They misspelled Tracey E. Bregman's first name!

She just celebrated 40 years on the show and you're calling her Tracy? 
She's TRACEY.

It reminds me of a cheap 90s european soap trying to immitate Dynasty. 

The skyline behind the actors is so outdated. The skyline behind the logo is so modern GH and vintage TEON. So not Y&R with its classy and sophisticated intros.

At this point I'd be happy with title card with the iconic 80s logo.

Is Y&R the only show that's included a cast-center opening on every episode? Meaning no abbreviated opening (like B&B).

It's really interesting how the full title theme has always been an integral part of the show.

The Red Opening worked for that era - nothing beats some of the most memorable shots: ED, JW and, of course, HT.

On the other hand, a decade earlier we had JW pushing down her panty hose and Brittany Norman twirling with her handbag...

THIS.

Tacky tacky tacky. No one’s checking that sh!t before it goes live? So sloppy and unprofessional.

I don’t like the actor shots for this one. Yesterday’s were much better.

Err no thanks!

 Agree, that hair toss was and still is epic.

[edgeofnik]

Will any of the *missing* contract players be added? CF (2021), CH (2020!), AL and SW (both 2022).

CH is obviously the most glaring. SW's return certainly revitalized the Abbott family dynamics.

I somehow missed this thread and saw the opening today. Wow so underwhelming and cheap.

The could have easily recreated the 1988-99 opening on a white background and I wouldn’t have minded it at all. 

[YRfan23]

I actually wouldn't have minded them recreating the Rex/Katherine necklace scene but with Victor putting it around Nikki's neck instead! that would have been great! 

[soapfan770]

That would’ve been fun!!! I was actually wondering what your thoughts were (sorry if I scrolled past them though funny I found this thread just as I had watched today’s opening lol). 
 

I don’t mind the font, it would have been better if it was in gold than the red for the 50th. The city skyline is completely out of place. As far as Y&R goes it reminded me of the Newman Enterprises logo font.

The bad thing is this still looks better 29 years later, Nikki head spin and all:

Y&R could have done charcoal portraits ad infinitum. Those opening titles were sleek, elegant, timeless, iconic.

While I understand the desire to try something new, I do not understand how such tackiness gets greenlit. No one on the team said, "Now let's talk about this public access talk show skyline..."?
