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The skyline behind the actors is so outdated.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...

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..."?

    • 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.
