In addition to all her videos and photos with her brother Jibre and all the cast and crew in Atlanta, Aleah Hordges also did a soap quiz with her coworkers in Cincinnati.   She asked interesting soap history questions.

Some of those were really hard, geez!

yes better trivia than some of the incorrect info on other news sites lately

as i mentioned upthread — several errors.

I think Fairmont Crest is to be its own fictional township/village/whatever. I doubt they're going to specifically situate it too much.

I'm just glad they went with DC/MD - it's a much more untapped and interesting locale for this kind of story than ATL atm.

ATWT's last opening was just all right save for the fact it left out a lot of characters. And GL never really stood out with openings in it's final years.

Um... these CBS affiliate anchors don't know that Y&R and B&B are still on the air?

Fairmont Crest is said to be located in Prince George's County and its seems that a fair number of characters will live in DC.

I liked the opening and the theme music for the last years of ATWT. lol

I think ATWT's last opening was what all soaps need to be in this day and age: just a simple title card with some dramatic "sting" playing underneath (although, I could have done without the globe rolling across the title like some roll-on deodorant).

And I LOVE Kim Zimmer's description of GL's last anniversary opening: a bunch of hairy-ass arms reaching out to other hairy-ass arms, lol.

It's in her book!

She really don't hold back, and I love it.

I like the idea of the GL opening with the poem, but the execution is a mess. It doesn't help that, like Frank Valentini at GH, Wheeler had a crippling fondness for the little children employed by the show. So you had little toddlers barely able to speak lines doing half the poem and being indecipherable.

Don't get me started on the Peapack opening and song.

I hated the voices doing the GL verse, kid and adult. The middle school guidance counselor voice that gave us “Comes baaaaack, into our ownnn” was the worst. I just like a good strong announcer.

ATWT’s last theme was great, but it just did not fit the show at all. That was a teen drama theme.

[Khan]

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: love can save the world, but it couldn't save GL, lol.

Same here!  Besides, as fond of GL as I'll always be, that epigram?  Not so much.
