I luv this one! The music has such a cool, refreshing sound that is very uplifting. And the bluish hues make the visuals equally refreshing to look at. This theme and visuals are contemporary without being over the top, or weird. This feels more like the classic soaps from the 80s. This feel very soap opera-ish.
Did anybody ever figure out who that is in the opening before Harley appears? I want to say Lizzie (Crystal Hunt) but that image is still there when Marcy Rylan took over.
God I miss Guiding Light. I can't believe its been gone for a month already.
We still have these old episodes in the UK, and this is the current theme. So at least I can still see it in a way. Its Feb 2006 for us, but its is on at 2am, so how long we will have it for I don't know.
Gina Tognoni (Dinah) looks so beautiful in this opening! And Beth Ehlers (Harley), too! Definitely one of my favorite opening themes for the show! :o)
I personally love the new opening BUT miss ALL of the older ones such as this one...........gosh i truely will miss this show! its like part of my life is going after 19 years of watching!
The good old days I think a major reason why guilding light has failed is because of the time slot think about it if guilding light came on at 12:30, at 3:00 people are busy.
oh wow...in Rochester Ny the young and the restlses comes on at 12:30, then The Bold and The Beautifal at 1:30, then As The World Turns at 2:00, then Guiding Light at 3:00 ..i cant believe they have gl in the morning where you are at
I think the grimacing guy that you are referring to is Gus Aitoro (acted by Ricky Paull Goldin). He isn't on the show anymore. He is on All My Children.
The dancing guy is Buzz Cooper (acted by Justin Deas)
The detective is Frank Cooper (acted by Frank Dicopoulos)
I usually fast fwd through the new opening, but this one I played though it every single day. I really loved how it would set such a exciting tone from which the first scene to start. PLEASE BRING THIS ONE BACK!!!!!!
Well, we didn't get our wish. Here in Pittsburgh, it's on at 10, and with the new set, there's no new opening, and they haven't reverted back tot his one either.
Please,If Guiding Light does not come on in Sacramento on KOVR then how will a Sacramentan see it. Hmmm. There's KHSL channel 12 in Chico it covers north of Sacramento. KPIX channel 5 in SF it covers south of Sacramento.
I love this theme better than the 1 they have now. the new 1 sucks big time! i mean come on," Family, destiny, light! Hope, sharing, friendship, love, laughter, kindness, understanding, peace, happiness, etc. there is a Destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we send in2 the lives of others comes back & 2 our own." It's so boring & stupid!
The need to bring this opening back. The current one was cute when it premiered, but this one captures the show better. The music is catchy, I enjoy seeing the characters, etc. Please Ellen Wheeler!
i Too Hate The Current GL 70th Theme , I hope they go back to a version of this January 2008. I was also reading down here i can't believe anyone could hate the Y&R theme, i hate the TV version but the full Nadia's Theme is brilliant.
Great music but why are non of the veterans in these? I am so sick of Gl giving credits to the unknown actors when actors like Maureen Garrett, etc. are still on the show!
Well to be fair, Maureen Garrett hasn't been on the show since 2005. She made one appearance in 2006 (Ross's funeral in April) and has yet to be seen in 2007. From what I heard, she moved away from NYC and has basically retired from acting.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who hates the hands...I actually liked this intro....however I think the best was the like 1983-1989..I watched the show loyally from the summer of 85 to early 86...back then it came on at 3 and so I was able to watch it because I was in school.
Wish they'd bring this opening back already, and get rid of the current 70th anniversary opening. GL slightly modify the openings with newly updated headshots, and the performer's names be included. Just my opinion.
(cont'd) Also ironic that since this opening looks alot like OLTL's former visuals, that it debuted exactly 10 years to the month of Tour of Llanview II.
This opening is very reminiscent in style to OLTL's Tour of Llanview II, minus city exterior shots. I think this one may be returning soon, since the "hands/Find Your Light" visuals are just for GL's 70th anniversary and to promote the stars helping with Hurricane Katrina charities.
Wow. I used to watch GL a long time ago so I haven't seen the credits in a while. Wow. They look amazing. Its a wonder more people don't watch the show based on that!
i creamed a little
