Members vanguard Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 Oh how I remember this, and how it was just so freakin plain. Lol. That being said, I don't stand opposed to faceless openings but make it interesting somehow. In BTG's case, show some interesting outdoor footage for the theme opening perhaps. And I stand firmly by jazzy/bluesy for the tune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 I prefer soap openings with dramatic headshots of the cast lol just adds to the soapiness of it all. Since the Bell shows still feature that I hope BTG falls in line with its companions. To remove the need for updating I wouldn’t be mad at distinctive shots of the DC area ending with the neighborhood gates. Something similar to Coronation Street and Emmerdale would be cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 They might even have Tamara Tunie sing the theme song (if it has lyrics) since her character was a singer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) With all the talk about opening credits, I presume no-one is interested in U.K. style credits that, though distinctive, features no shots of characters. That goes for ‘continuing dramas’ such as Casualty and Waterloo Road as well. With the sheer number of characters and regular-ish cast turnover, more ‘generic’ openings are likely most easier to manage. The only exception is teen-aimed soap Hollyoaks.

Members BetterForgotten Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 Maybe something along this line but with the "gates" being blown wide open? Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 So long as the opening ain't as bad as this, I'll be happy: Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 Please register in order to view this content I would be happy with something like this. Or if they surprise me with something I like... even better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 In the last 20 years, trends have shown opening credits being reduced to either one single card being zoomed in or an extremely stylish design composition (think what they do over at Elastic). I believe we can expect BTG to feature short opening credits, including graphics and an instantly-classic theme. Face cards are a no go in this era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 11, 2024 Members Share Posted October 11, 2024 I want something that firmly establishes gates as the show’s symbol, like the DAYS hourglass or the AMC family album, and I would absolutely hate something that is clearly fake CGI crap like the current B&B opening. Those headshots are nice, but everything else? The pink roll-away fabric at the end? Garbage. I know GL’s final theme song was trash, but I very much appreciated the real footage of Peapack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted October 15, 2024 Members Share Posted October 15, 2024 A scene in the opening credits of gates closing in a gated community would be the symbol. It would also be cool if they ended each episode with that same gate-closing scene. I remember that supernatural show on ABC doing this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted October 15, 2024 Members Share Posted October 15, 2024 I have to say: I love the support between Daphnee Duplaix & Karla Mosley on Instagram since the announcement of their casting. I love that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted October 15, 2024 Members Share Posted October 15, 2024 I just watched Real Andrews's video on IG about ending his chapter on GH. He mentioned he has a new gig, and I think it might be Beyond The Gates. Just my two cents… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted October 15, 2024 Members Share Posted October 15, 2024 (edited) I'd say bravo to this if it comes to fruition. He was really good as Taggert on GH. ETA: I've lurked around and discovered that the actor is 61 years old. If he lands on BTG, he's going to be Patrick almost for certain.

Members Liberty City Posted October 15, 2024 Members Share Posted October 15, 2024 It's definitely giving Beyond the Gates vibes. The role of "Patrick" might definitely be his, which would be a big snag for both him and the soap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
