General Hospital Debuts New Opening Title Sequence
166
Well, it’s fast…..
No!
Dizzy! A little to quick for my liking.
No I don’t like it
I still miss the opening with Dave Koz’s “Faces Of The Heart”.
I love that theme
Those were the days, right? 🙂
I really missw this theme song and think the new opening is very boring. There’s no creativity. I even miss the ambulance !
I like it, but I think they should change the first face (which you can recognize more easily) on a daily basis.
Good idea!
they have if you notice, Mo was first, yesterday was Laura. Today may be different. But I still do not like it.
Laura (as in Wright) was first and there were different characters – both contract and recurring. The one above doesn’t show Becky/Elizabeth but Tuesday’s does. Wally/Ned is also on Tuesday but not above. It’s quick but at least it does show more actors/characters. To those who miss the longer intro – I do too – but they’re gone. ABC would rather have another commercial. And if that extra commercial helps keep GH on the air, we should thank them instead of complain about the opening.
I’d prefer they shorten a scene to make time for a longer opening. They can keep the extra commercial.
You’d rather “shorten a scene” for an introduction? What would be the point in that? I could care less what the opening is (although I like this one). I’m watching for the story, not the opening or the credits.
THe longer opening in the 90’s for example, always got me pumped up and more excited to watch the show. So yeah, I’d love if they’d shorten one scene to make more room for a longer theme.
Makes no sense to me but to each his own.
It goes way to fast to see everyone….so far, whose on there is fine but get these long storylines done and move on..I have already written the next 2 months if you want any help….just wait I will let you know how right I was…
I love that! I’d love to see what you wrote are you a member on general hospital uncensored? We sometimes have people wrote in their ideas!
I’m just waiting to see if my ideas work, then I will write in….im just a tv soap watcher and i actuslly know whats going to happen next b4 it happens, thatshow how predictable this show is…….get on with the old repeated stories and get some new ideas…please dont take Joss’s sick boyfriend off the show…if he wants to leave as a soap person, then just replace him and heal him..some One deserves to be happy ……….
One of the worst title sequences I’ve ever seen in daytime AND primetime! It cheapens the show and the cast members. It’s as if the network or those in power at the show don’t even care about the show or the cast.
ABSOLUTELY. HORRIBLE!!
Michael, don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel. PS. I agree.
Hey, Harry! Long time…
I love the new opening. And, I think CNN just did something similar. Or, at least that’s what I think I saw recently…
100% agree.
I understand soaps have been hurting in terms of budget cuts for about 10 years now. But still, they can do better.
That is so ugly and cheap looking. Why did they even bother to change it
I agree with you William, I saw the new opening and it was cheap looking and way too fast. Made me dizzy lol.
I blinked and missed it…we barely got closing credits so why show either at all…a big GH just popping up on Carlys head is all they need these days
Thanks for the laugh, Jimh. I really needed that, today.
is this for contract players only?
No it features recurring as well
If that’s true where was KFC’s Colonel Sanders? I call fowl. That’s it. I’M SO DONE WITH GH NOW!!
Not a fan of this opening at all. The faces pass by too quickly, it’s dizzying. I miss the opening from 2004-2010, the music and style was great.
OMG, so amateurish. And the pace of the images doesn’t match the music at all. Laughing at this so hard.
Lousy. Makes me think they are going to drop it off the air!!!
Too fast. Might as well not have an opening.
Looks even lamer and low-budget than the last one. The skyline and skyscrapers are so obviously fake, it’s distracting. Looks like a cartoon.
I didn’t makes no sense either, because Port Charles is not a major city with millions of people.
Prior to this skyline, there was a much better treatment of the city, with recognizable locations such as the piers and the hospital and the harbor
They did’nt show Liz,Franco,Finn,Anna and a few others
Oscars there he lives
Word is there are multiple versions. For the first time, all key recurring performers that aired in Monday’s episode were included in that day’s opening.
While the photos move very fast, it is rather stimulating and better than the versiontheyve been using for the last 5 years.
Nothing will top “Faces of the Heart”, but the show can’t spare all that additional time for an opening.
What??????
Places of the Heart was the theme song for many years
I agree, that was the best. They should take a long at YR the top rated SOAP and see how classy and timeless they open is and the same song they have had all along. There is the hospital in the backdrop??
It goes by too quickly
Clearly a mostly Caucasian cast… Wish there were more actors of color on the show.
Then go watch “The Haves & Have Nots”.
Nothing I dislike more than a shit-pot stirrer – and that would be you!!
PAlease! Jordan, Curtis, TJ, Stella, Epiphany Johnson, Felix DuBois, Yvonne, her husband, Brick, Valerie Spencer, Daisy, Brad and Transgender Terry Rudolph! TV is evolving, quit trying to stir the pot!
I had to laugh. Sometimes we complain that our favorites aren’t in the opening credits. Well, it LOOKS like all the contract players should be on the two versions I’ve seen so far. I say “LOOKS” because they go by so fast it’s hard to tell. Gotta love it. I won’t complain, I guess. LOL!
Not overly impressed same crappy music and images of actors go by to fast
Why are Elizabeth and Franco not in the new beginning for GH?
Maybe it’s my eyes or my brain but I think it moves a bit too fast. Could certainly slow it down by a few seconds.
I detest this. I thought the PREV opening was too seizure-inducing. This is so much worse.
to fast for me……..i miss the one with the ambulance going by the front of the hospital
That’s the one! I am not interested in seeing cast photos. Plus, it gave time to listen to a beautiful theme song.
Don’t like. Cool but too fast and does not depict the heart of gh. Key people not seen.
A little too fast for my liking. I always watch from the DVR so I don’t see the opening anyway.
I loved it! I hope they continue to shake it up every now and then.
Thank you! It looks like we’re the only ones who do! I think it’s gorgeous and modern. Love it!
This is way too fast and it looks so cheap. The openings of our favorite shows is something that we all remember. Why can’t they take 30 seconds and have a decent opening that honors the cast and the history of the show? It’s one of the things I always remember about my favorite soaps growing up – but this is something that definitely is not memorable. Change it please!
Let me guess… an even shorter opening so they can add another minute of commercials?? Even before this opening “update” this so called “hour” show was clocking in at right around 36 minutes of actual content. I didn’t watch any of the helliday rerun episodes, but I would be surprised if they actually ran the whole episode, and didn’t somehow re-edit them, or else there would be a very noticeable difference in the run time of a 1997 episode vs 2019. This (as well as the all too common “news interruptions” for the most trivial dragonshit, like some senile orange… Read more »
I watch on Hulu. I work during the day so when I get home in the evening the new episode is there waiting for me commercial free and no risk of Don the con interrupting my show.
They need to change it immediately…like someone else said, it’s the worst opening I have ever seen for any show…The ambulance might as well be back…
Yep it really cheapens GH looks like money ran out and your shutting it down. What are you thinking anyway??
I’m not loving the new opening it’s way too fast I watched twice and it didn’t give me vertigo but it wasn’t pleasant!
GOSH NO!
I still like the old one when they showed the old hospital General Hospital and the music that was the best
Put MONICA BACK IN THERE, then Laura. Jason Sonny.
Not so much! Too fast!
Nope, WAY too fast!
Its gotta go!!! It’s too fast and put everyone in. I feel like I’m going to have a seizure watching that.
I like it, But it goes way to fast, maybe slow it down
Too darn fast! Makes me dizzy!
Does anyone ever leave positive messags here, not just on the opening title sequence subject but of anything GH, everyone is always so negative. Again as I’ve said before GH is GH again and a few years ago it was unrecognizable,. As a long time fan, if over 30 years easy, GH was terrible between 2012 and 2015, it was almost ruined, thank soap maker of the year Ron c. For that. Big stories bloated cast, lack of heart and dialogue, ” the writer” as he was at that time was at the helm the only years I ever did… Read more »
We all have our opinions, GH sucks right now, let’s get this soap cancelled by next year. Bring back OLTL.
you can dream, anything is possible, but OLTL is dead, its not coming back no matter how awful you try to spin that GH is.
The point of this thread was the opening credits and, based on the reaction, most really do not like it…myself included. It may sound silly but I actually have always loved watching the different openings on the soaps — the ones used by GH in past couple of years have been less than memorable. The music and the graphics set the tone for the show…so I really don’t appreciate these 15 sec whirlwind openings. That said, I agree with you about the quality of the show itself and also feel like people trash it way too easily. There was a… Read more »
I forgot my biggest beef with Ron — he absolutely ruined Heather Webber….he wrote her as a cartoon character. I will never forgive him for that travesty. Previously she had been one of the best soap villains in the history of soaps. I still miss her (from the earlier days).
People are NEVER happy! If the old ambulance opening still ran people would bitch about GH being behind the times! And who really watches the opening regularly? Dont we all DVR? I couldnt stand watching it live with Finn ruining Anna, Anything Lulu, that wussy Valentin and Oscar reading off cue cards!
people complain to just complaint, its out of habit they want the past back, the good old days,ect, but you know what?over the holidays gh aired episodes from the past, and current gh actually held up, yes, there were some faces I missed from the past but there was Also a lot of characters I saw in those episodes I didn’t miss. GH does a few things to fix, but over all its a great show to watch, and the new opening is a little to fast but I kind of like seeing contract and recurring actors in the opening.
I noticed several non-contract actors in the opening: Jon Lindstrom, Kin Shriner, James Patrick Stuart, Cassandra James, etc. Has GH decided to put contract and recurring players in the opening now, or have these actors been put on contract?
The former.
That looks horrible! I’m happy DAYS’ hourglass has withstood the test of “time”…slowly but surely and simple, yet elegant!
Wow, I guess the opening is in a race…sheesh
super fast!!slowly is better!!
BOOOOO BOOOO STINKO !!
AWFUL, CHEAP, BLAND,
HORRIBLE !!
It is bad it is worse than bad, it is trashy cheap.
Why change it, huh? why?
I want the reasoning behind the terrible downgrade opening, who did it?
who do I blame for the horrible deed?
I want names !!!
Give me names, Michael- please.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sound just like me haha!!!
Wait, there are other people on the show besides Sonny, Carly, Jason, and Sam…?
Shocker, isn’t it? I couldn’t believe it, myself.
This is beyond ridiculous and nauseatingly fast.
Right Randi. It was so fast I almost expected a voice over to ask,”Would you like fries with that?” McGeneral Hospital.
It reminded me of one of those old antique viewers things when you moved the pictures rapidly to give it movement like a movie-lol
Perfect description.
Way to fast!
