Oooooo love. TT with that drapery on one side and her hair on the other walking toward the camera is giving diva. DD with the bob and side turn is giving vixen. And KM with the golfclub. Over that dramatic music...YES, PLEASE.

Should we get an intro of the characters appearing, how y'all want it to go? Perhaps this order?

Vernon, Dani, Nicole, Ted, Martin, Smitty, Kat, Tomas, Andre, Bill, Hayley, Naomi, Jacob, Chelsea, Ashley, Derek, Vanessa, Eva, "Leslie", and Anita.

ETA: If the actual opening isn't what we see in the promo.

Personally I’m hoping for the show to succeed. However the promo feels lackluster to me, in typical CBS 2020 fashion. 

It’s obvious they have built a large and lush set to keep over the years like the Forrester mansion. Doesn’t say much. 

Then it must be equally a stretch to say you’re excited over the promo?

Also - although the show will certainly be diverse, I didn’t appreciate CBS feeding into the angry black woman stereotype right off the bat.

I agree in practice—if they could quickly update the openings and make new cast members’ shots look as high-quality as those done in the original shoot, I’d be fine with them. (Some of the cheap insertions in those ATWT openings made me giggle.) But we know that rarely happens.

And we’ve seen how long Y&R takes to get new cast members featured in their rotation. Sometimes years, if at all. And GH’s pinball machine roll call is pretty much useless and seizure-inducing. Just have a memorable theme, an iconic shot of the gates opening, and be done with it.

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.
