I remember coming home from school when this used to come on around 2pm. However I only watched when Luke and Noah were on (didn’t care much for the others, except for Maybe Gwen/Will and Casey/Maddie). Then after watching I’d do my homework lol
ive been watching this show since i was little with my mom... and this is by FAR my FAVORITE opening and music! im really gonna miss this show when it goes off air... im so addiccted to it..
thanks for including the open, bumper and closing. What a great show. Excellent opening. The "Real" Craig, the "Real" Lily,, the adorable Gwen and Will, peerless Jack and Carly, Luke, et al. Even though missing Barbara, Lisa and they made the beautiful Kim look like a school marm (really, she's SO much more stylish than that. Cheekbones, people!), THIS was a good opening. Chris Goutman, you did us wrong!
This is my favorite soap and version of opening. I see old Lilly, and Luke and Dusty with short hair, and the Gwen drama. Wow, things are changeing so fats in a year.
What's crazier than that is the fact that now there are just three daytime soap operas on TV now that NBC has moved "Days of Our Lives" to Peacock. "General Hospital" on ABC and the two soaps on CBS: "The Bold and the Beautiful" along with "The Young and the Restless."
I agree, this show is known for its graphics used in theme sequences, I think they should show the characters featured in the days episode so we know what to expect, especially if we are only interested in 1 or 2 storylines
Much better show than the soap operas left on American tv. Though the stories after 2005 weren't the same as before. Hogan Sheffer did a great job..Jean Passanate not so much.
This wasn't a bad intro, but I hated this time period of the show. I don't know what they were smoking when they let Scott Bryce and Martha Byrne walk. They were THE Craig and Lily.
I like this theme ok. The music is great, but I liked the old logo better. The yellow works a little, but with all the trees, grasslands and farms it gives me the feeling that the soap takes place in Africa or a prairie, which it doesn't. Maybe they should add some city shots and ocean shots in the back. But I like how they showed pics from the past behind the characters.
I think when they made this, Roger Howarth was not sure if he would stay on as Paul or go back to OLTO to play Todd again. But at the last minute he decided to stay on as Paul on ATWT. Since new characters have come and others have come back, I'm sure they'll make another version with Paul in it.
I really wish Helen Wagner would have lived long enough to deliver the final lines on the show as well. And NO ONE could give a disapproving glare like Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda)!
It looks somewhat nice to me. Theme music sounds very nice. I would really liked to have seen ATWT include the performer's names in this new opening... and the globe turning in outer space once again.
I MISS ATWT even though the stories weren't the best espcially with Barabra locked in that basement talking to that damn clown, I wish we could still see this soap
Yes, the beginning is slow, but then the calm is interrupted. If we often hear it, we'll get used to it. I like the visuals but the logo should have been stayed the same.
When I was growing up Id always hear the show coming on and sometimes sit and watch, but since I was 18 Id been watching the show more. I havent missed hardly and episode since the new Lily came in, so I been into it for a while now. ATWT and Guiding Light were alot more realistic like real life situations they showed, which is why I like it so much. Y&R and B&B are not as realistic, more like a fantasy world of clothes, jewel, and models I dont care for. Ill miss ATWT D:
I never understood why they put Alison with Luke in the opening credits considering the actress who played her had just joined show and Jade was never in the opening credits when she should've been in the opening credits with Luke instead of Alison. I never got that. Jade Taylor was a major part of the reason as to why I was watching atwt from 2006 until she left.
Seeing the ending of this really makes me miss Jade. I hope she comes back soon...I know they said that the actress left because her character hadn't grown that much since she started(the whole obsession with Will and Gwen thing was getting a little old)
Mhmmm. The people who portray them are leaving once their contracts are up. No news on whther they'll be replaced. As for the theme, it's the best one they've had, but they should reshoot the characters.
Actually, both Howarth and TPTB at ATWT decided to make it look like he was going to leave. Howarth did ink a new deal but they kept him away long enough to bring back on Rosanna
The the version they had before this one as not that old then they deside to on a new theme and new look. I think they should of stuck with the old one but the new is ok.
HEY......does anyone know where I can find this episode of As the World Turns....the episode with the scene of Will and Gwen and Gwen says I'm glad you're home!!!!!!!! I've been looking for it everywhere!!!!
I lik the music but I would rather see the pictures in black and white sort of like the Love of Life opening in 1979 or 1980 before the show was axed. The new logo looks like it was done in-house and they don't show pictures of the vets in the mid-break bumper
