Interesting that it took until the early ‘90s for GH or AMC to make that shift, ATWT until 1999, and DAYS has held out completely. No attempt to, like, embed photos of the actors in the falling grains of sand LOL.

And for a relatively brief period, both GH and B&B put actor names (plus character names) in the intro. Both have returned to only showing images (in GH’s case, due to obvious time restraints, and B&B did it for the 30th anniversary). Y&R has maintained using only actor names since the red “porn” opening, but a rotating selection of cast for each episode.

Going to sound dramatic but the current intro has to be in the top 10 worst since 2000.  This is what I imagine the intro would look like if Restless went to streaming only. skyline in the back is too General Hospital.

I agree that the cast shots and lighting are so much better this time around. I just don’t love the visuals around them - the more I look at them, the more Windows movie maker it looks. 

There is no rhyme of reason to which cast members they are featuring the opening this go around. Who do you think we have left to see premier in the opening?

Contract:

Chance

Mariah

 

Recurring:

Kevin

Gloria

Noah

Allie

Tessa

Amanda

Imani

Moses

Faith

…I never quite know which recurring cast members make the cut and which do not. I love that Jess Walton, Eileen Davidson, Trac[e]y Bergman, Christian LeBlanc, and Beth Maithland get their due after decades on the cast, contract or not. They are familiar and mainstay characters.

But how do they make the call between recurring cast members like Cait Fairbanks and Rory Gibson?

Now that some time has passed, I feel the intro looks good...at least on my flat tv screen vs on clips. 

That said...I get the vibe that as the year goes on...if it is continuing...that they will adjust it as needed to make it look better.

    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
    • Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.
    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
