I love that she gets to solidify her mark on entertainment and her legacy with this show. She’s had such a respectful and diverse career, and has always kept her class. I never imaged she would return to daytime, but I am glad she did and now I can’t picture anyone else playing Anita Dupree. 

The opening credits!

 

So not all of the characters appearing in each episode.

I like it. It IS giving me 90s primetime soap, but its own thing crossed over with AMC. And in foresight...if new people come on, the transitions should be flawless. 

 

Also love the Nemesis is in the first one. And Alex.

Again, this voice keeps telling us stuff, and it's important. omg.

Huh? I never said it was that serious. The truth is, nothing is "that serious."

You posted the CPW open and I said there is no similarity to the open for BTG. That's it. That's my opinion. If you think they're similar, good on you.

I like the opening (and the black/white motif) a lot. No complaints. I was honestly expecting a 10-15 second shot of the gates and Fairmont Crest and nothing else so I'm happy for a cast run. And nothing could be worse than the cheapo GH openings since 2012. It looked like a pretty glossy, CBS/Y&R-style opening.

The music doesn't bother me. The brassy John Barry 007-style riff halfway through I like a lot. Could I do with a different theme, sure, but nothing about it offended me.

have it up on youtube, but nothing seems to be happening.

Thank you. I love opinions. They don't seem to matter much around here.
