This can’t be real right?

The actor shots are fine. The graphics and typography look like an elementary school project. Did Josh’s grandson put this together. This would be an embarrassment to put on air. 
 

The current opening is great. All it needed was updated cast photos. 
 

I really hope this is a joke.

This looks cheap and dated. They should’ve kept it simple and do what B&B did and just go back to the old school opening. White background, keep the actors names and keep it simple. I don’t understand how this even got approved. I also feel like the graphics don’t match the music and it feels slow. 
 

How does CBS micro manage the show but allow this?

The current opening was pretty cheap also. The font was basic and some shots (esp MTS) were very unflattering. The women got diamonds and champagne in the background but the guys got nothing.

And the background shots were basically the same as foreground(outfits and poses)

I agree the EB wink is good.

I was just *assuming* it was them. (and I should not assume!)

You could be right, it could be anyone.

Maybe it's supposed to be *suggestive* of them?  The woman in the silhouette seems to be wearing something similar to Nikki's gala gown.

OMG - this was worst in full size HD! Watching it on my TV was painful. The cast shots are GREAT. Everyone featured in today's opening looked beautiful.

But, everything about the opening around the cast in just WRONG! Where are the pen strokes animating the Y&R logo? Why the spotlights? It makes sense for the gala step and repeat scenes, but it has nothing to do with Y&R beyond these gala episodes.

Oh I hope this is mistake...

It's cute. I would change the font used for the names of the performers and get rid of the "ground spotlight effect" and give it more of a silky flowing shimmer. Might get rid of the background building visuals. Maybe. I love toying around that stuff.

    • I've always liked Kim Zimmer. She's a very good actress. I think the majority of the resentment comes from how much air she, or rather, Reva, sucked out of the show. There were periods where it felt like it was All Reva, All The Time. So many male characters had to be madly on love with her, even when they had zero chemistry with her. Her rival characters, like Sonni and Annie, were practically turned into psychos (somehow Olivia escaped that fate). She was given bizarre storylines, like the clone and time travel stories, to keep her front burner. It wasn't enough to have ONE bizarre reason she was missing (living with the Amish) she had to have TWO (princess of a Caribbean island, with a secret kid--her second one--to boot). She got an insane amount of attention from TPTB, to the detriment of other characters. Possibly because the actress weaponized her fans. Maybe that's an unfair assessment, but seems to me her day had come and gone and yet she was still centered so much on the show. I agree. In the beginning she was a very good character with a beautifully composed backstory. If they had kept her grounded like that, I am certain few would have complained about her.
    • Very true...and that was the heart of what the character was and excelled at..everyone goes on about the Slut of Springfield scene, but damn, did the writing and acting come together when Reva confronted Pharoh about her early molestation by him.  THAT is the stuff that worked...not being the Queen of a dumb island.
    • Frank Valentini should thank his proverbial lucky stars that JE came out of retirement.
    • I liked Reva, too, but as I've said before, no one at that show besides Pamela K. Long knew how to write for her or for KZ.  You don't plunge a character who is OTT by design into circumstances that are equally (or more) OTT.  The trick with a character like Reva Shayne Lewis is to keep the storylines as down-to-earth as possible and allow her emotions to be bigger.  I've always said that both Reva and KZ were at their finest when they were dealing with relatively mundane things like Josh's paralysis, her marriage to H.B. and her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
    • I agree!  AE was just one of those performers who could draw you in, no matter what.  I don't believe I ever saw her phone in any performance on any show.  To me, she always gave 100%.  God, how I miss seeing her on TV every day.
    • Did OLTL have books in 80's like the other soaps that covered the early storylines of the show?
    • I liked (not loved) the character of Reva. I just didn't like how she ate the show. 
    • I’ve spent a lot of time at the bedside of dying family members. These hospital scenes feel very real. The entire Days team is doing incredible work.
