Another voice. Lots of voices happening this week. But I will tell the voice this, Soaps She Knows noted in their report:

❝ Don’t see your favorite actor in the credits? Never fear, there are several different versions which will be rolled out over the course of the week. ❞

My point was that the first episode was the same as the YouTube video posted by Soaps. Other variations might exist, but I'm referring specifically to the first of __ episodes that I saw which is the same one shown at tonight's Paley event (didn't attend). It's being said that a longer version aired the event but I'm not sure if they decided to extend the opening for just tonight's event for the episode or if they decided to add the longer one for the first episode when it airs on Monday.

Either way, what I know of it, it was the YouTube version thus far.

That's what I'm wondering/thinking. We'll see.

I did find it odd the other day that only 12 of just 20 actors were shown in the opening. It's not like it's GH with 35 people on contract.

There are several X (Twitter) posts with the opening.  It is similar to the Y&R opening.

Wonder if Beyond the Gate will go “old school” P&G and have a sponsor tag at the beginning and end of the show?  “This part of Beyond the Gates is brought to you today by Bounty. Bounty is the quicker, picker, upper for cleaning up spills and messes.”

Vernon needs one too, because as much as they've made out of the Dupree name, they have no one to carry it on. The grandchildren are Hamiltons and Richardsons.

 

Sort of reminds me of Dark Shadows' Carolyn emphasizing Carolyn Collins Stoddard when she need to demonstrate her importance.

Re: the opening. Visually, it’s gorgeous (though I tend to prefer a title card to only show up once at the end). That theme music is totally dull and reminds me of The Haves and the Have-Nots. I like a melody!

Still enjoying the daily specials (I’ll look to see if the February thread is where that conversation is supposed to happen). The mention of when there 19 soaps on the air at once (March-September 1970) made me smile because in the midst of all the excitement of a new black-led soap, my heart still views and accepts BTG as yet another entry in the long, long history of my favorite genre.

    • The whole AMC 2.0 pulled it together in mere weeks to get a show up and running, with scripts and a cast.

      Ginger Smith seemed really passionate about being in the executive producer position, and I think she really did a fantastic job in six weeks. It was just well done.
    • I totally didn’t pick up on that. Just perfect! I don’t get the Maurice Johnson hate around here at all. He didn’t take me out of the scenes at all. I understood everything he was portraying. It was great. I do wonder if there will be a personality shift with the new actor, whom I’m still not excited about. Exactly. Right? I’m in the exact same boat as you. Agree with most of this except I never found anything off with Ted, didn’t suspect a thing. I just watched yesterday’s episode and it was one of the best soap episodes I’ve seen in a very long time. I was enthralled the entire time. Just fantastic.
    • Yep! Very curious to see where this goes. 
    • I was confused too, but I think it was always a "tribute thread" (this one and OLTL's were created when their cancellations were announced). They just changed the show abbreviations to their titles spelled out, I guess to make the board just a little bit more uniform. I was lost, too lol
    • Well... I am. I think she's losing her initial menacing presence. Slowly but surely. I need the crazy dialed back. But as I said... this is very miniscule negative reaction. I am loving the show right now. We'll see how they'll continue after the fireworks. 
    • Oh, I am so looking forward to the reveal about Laura's accident, and Nicole and Leslie having a real one on one.
    • I'm not seeing that right now. I'm stepping out on faith and believeing MVJ will not turn "Silk" into a ridiculous caricature.   
    • One little... very little... tiny... minuscule negative comment. I was debating if I should care to say it... In some ways... Silk has been acting clownish... I think they need to dial it back, because if this continues with the current pace... she'll be worse than Sheila in terms of getting totally predictable and not menacing anymore. TMG is one hell of an actress... I just want to see a more normal and less clownish Silkpress in the coming weeks*months. We need to dial down the wigs too. It's becoming a funny caricature and we don't want that. Maybe we do, I'm not sure. I just like her more menacing and sinister than... "Hahhahahah what is she wearing today". That's a personal preference.   So far... I am okay with it... but I have fears this may turn into a really tired joke in the future. I want TMG as long as possible on my screen!  
    • Not really short-lived as GH went to color in 1967, so the blue background actually lasted about twice as long as the black background. You can see it at the very beginning of this set of clips from 1974:

      Also would like to put it out there in the universe, as I often do, that the wait for any AMC from 1972-1976 has been too damn long. At this point, it is the only long-running soap (10+ years) that has absolutely zero video clips from that time period online. We have either whole episodes or clips from every year of the show's run except those five, which happen to be the exact years when one of my favorite characters I've never actually seen, Margo Flax, was a major player. Justice for Margo, please.
