The Young and the Restless 1999 open

This was the very final update of the 1988-99 opening for Y&R. This update debuted in September 1999 and since this was the last update of this opening, note that the first update of the 1999-2003 opening featured these same group with the exceptions of Cole and Esther. Also note the dress Jess Walton (Jill) is wearing in this video is the same dress she wears in the 1999-2003 opening.
I tried my best, this comes from a camcorder, so not the best of results here.

Jack, Ashley, Cole, John, Billy, Jill, Katherine, Mackenzie, Esther

I miss the old Mac. The new Mac has no personality,.shes boring. shows no emotion or such.

@tastytoes1 I agree, but I'm glad the character is gone now, if the show was to ever bring her back they need to bring her back with the character's originator Ashley Bashioum.

who was playing Ashley at the time? was that Eileen Davidson already back after Shari Strutuck? it was hard to tell on the video -- but thanks for posting it.

[Bluebirdsims]

Yes, that's Eileen Davidson.

i wish they would bring back this opening

I miss this opening too. At least they brought back the original theme tune. When they changed the opening in 2003

The only good thing about the current opening is it is an updated version of the pencil drawing in the mid 80's.

ie black and white shots of the cast instead of an artist drawing and the familar interlocking Y and R

No, they still rotated them as always, this was the final update they made to this sequence. The Jack title was the only one updated as they added Eileen Davidson, David Tom, Ashley Bashioum, and reinstated Jerry Douglas and Kate Linder.

[Bluebirdsims]

No, it was just this one because by December, they changed the entire opening to red curtain opening that was used until 2003.

OMG I can't believe Mackenzie was in there! I wish this was in better quality! Good though!

[SoapFreak]

Wow, they actually fitted 9 people in there!
