All My Children Opening v18 (Family Album)

[@vicksvapor77]

Very true. Let's hope by the end of February, we have a brand spanking new opening with lots of changes, including Myrtle memorial stuff.

[@greenlee7smythe]

actually i will always watch this show...simply for Erica Kane! She's my idol!

[@rudyt36]

Ava is returning, sources said so. She will be involved with the story around Amanda's pregnancy, in which she is returning pregnant, or with child already, somewhere in Febuary. And oh, sorry for the typo, Laila Williams will be debuting on Jan.29th, along with "returning" castmember, Mary Smythe, on the sameday aswell. I dont even know if they'll even be added to the opening sequence, probably on recurring status only. As for Riley Sinclair, who knows, we'll just have to see...

[@musicman301]

i love this opening even though babe is gone it looks like she is still part of the show and also putting david and bianca back in is a very good

[@rudyt36]

Well as you know it, i've been doing some research on who is coming and going in All My Children. Looks to me that Scott Chandler, Stuart chandlers adopted son, will be returning on April 6th, so look out for him. With that, you can expect more onscreen time of Stuart aswell. Liza Colby will be returning aswell, somewhere in April. Her involvement will be the matter of her daughter, Colby. And as you all know, Bianca will be returning to put a resolution to the whole Bianca/Reese situation.

[@vicksvapor77]

Don't worry, there aren't bumpers. They're literal promotional stills, but they usually take those alongside the live action opening shots. However, Pete is still listed as recurring, so hey may not be added. Or the credits are just wrong.

[@vicksvapor77]

Btw, we're seeing Greenlee one last time on March 19th, so that's why there hasn't been an update. I REALLY want one soon after that WITH Reese in it... but I don't see it happening with her only having about a month and half of her contract left after that.

[@aminparker01]

自分はこのテーマ曲には感じる物が あって、言葉にすれば「慈愛」とい う気がします。❤❤❤

[@vicksvapor77]

If you want to get technical, they didn't update for 6 months from December 2005-June 2006, and for another 6 months until December 2006. But yes, they've consistently updated it.

[@vicksvapor77]

I just realized Ryan's shot is played in revese, cause I watched version one again.

[@rudyt36]

Ok, just so everyone can be up to date here, new people were added to the opening roster today. Descriptions-the women near beginning, with long straight red hair-Liza, girl next to JR-Marissa, Women in curly black hair-Natalia, then we have Brot, and lastly near the end of the opening sequence was Scott. Hope that clears some doubts with people who are wanting to know.

[@greenlee7smythe]

i had no idea cameron was canadian! sweetness! We all should write in to all my children and request Kendall be the fly away picture!!!!! LOL

[@vicksvapor77]

Notice Dre's clip is played backwards. There's a high chance that Jack's is in reverse, too.

[@rudyt36]

On ravensbeauty's website, and ABC soap scoop/Soapnet (soap secrets).

[@vicksvapor77]

My prediction is we'll get a new opening somewhere between the 22nd and the 31st of December. With Reese and Brot (and possibly Carmen).

[@sarahdillon1573]

Miss this show😂

[@phoenixnyc]

Yes, Eileen Herlie passed last October, and Myrtle died in her sleep in December. If you want to spend a good hour or so in tears, just search for Myrtle's funeral on here (it's in five parts). It was amazingly well done.

[@vicksvapor77]

Babe, Dre, and Myrtle are still under contract as of this week. Babe will probably be shown at her funeral. Why they didn't wait for next week, I have no clue. Dre is still under contract through the end of the year according to Sterling, but he says he doubts he'll be used anymore, just paid for being on (like Julia was through August). Myrtle won't be removed until they give her a proper exit. Stuart is very surprising to me.

[@renesewalls3182]

I love this song

[@dashaunthompson6785]

Me too

[@vicksvapor77]

Yep, he's been off the show for about a month and a half. And Richie was removed.

[@rudyt36]

And a certain girl, Ava Benton, Lily's twin/half sister will be returning somewhere in Febuary where she (spoiler) returns with her new baby, and will tie in with Amanda's baby, who's father maybe David...(End) Riley Sinclair, Annie's doctor, will be getting a indepth story behind her character, so she'll most likely be added to the opening. =) I hope Myrtle will be added to the begining Colage where Phoebe and such are remembered. =)

[@blackhawkboy97]

this is FABULOUS!! Whoever wrote deserves a rewars good rythem beat and tone!

[@vicksvapor77]

I don't think there's a legal obligation to ADD people, it's only a legal thing when they're removing people still with the show.

[@vicksvapor77]

Yeah, but Bianca is not going to be on contract when she returns. So whenever they update it, Bianca will be removed.

[@vicksvapor77]

Yeah, I'm assuming they have to decide. But if the update by removing a bunch of characters, INCLUDING Bianca and don't add ANYONE, I don't even know how they'll have enough footage to make the opening long enough. Everyone will be in super slow down-mode.

[@vicksvapor77]

No, I mean his character was in the episode. He clearly isn't going anywhere, so I don't get the removal of Stuart. Maybe his character is "recurring" now.

[@skylarandmoose]

I doubt we'll get a new opening until after sweeps, when another major character is set to exit (from what I'm reading online). If that happens, they'll take out that character, Babe, maybe Myrtle (tear :() and Dre. They'll add in Brot and Reese depending on how long they stay.

[@vicksvapor77]

1. I'm sure they will. Honestly, since she's still listed on contract for some reason (probably signed a multi-year deal before her death at some point), she'll remain where she is. 2. Brot will get one. Not sure about Opal and Pete, but there's a rumor that many contract actors are being bumped to recurring and remaining in the credits to save face and fill space, so maybe they'll add in some recurring players. 3. Agreed!

[@rudyt36]

I do agree, Ava's character had abit of a trainwreck streek going on, but it doesn't mean that the writers of the show couldn't bring her back and give her a new background story. Hence, thats where the baby story with Amanda comes along, because she (Spoiler) comes back with her newborn baby, maybe not knowing who the father is aswell (End) She'll be returning somewhere in Febuary, the sources I listed said so. If not, you can tell me I told yah so. =) Til then, all we can do is wait.

[@vicksvapor77]

she actually has been, according to the credits, since mid September, lol. maybe the source just realized now?

[@vicksvapor77]

I agree, I really like Palmer's shot. Something about the hand by the neck makes him look dangerous. And I love that now four people (Angie, Palmer, Randi, and Bianca) have their hand incorporated into their shot, but all doing different things. Brilliant.

[@Whiteboymdew]

Mrytle should get a spot in the beginning with Phoebe. She was a nice lovely, pretty red headed sweet girl, and her montage is to be aired Dec 19 of 2008. I love how Mrytle just flies same with Palmer like they did when this opening was first made which I loved. To bad that is going to get deleted again or maybe they will get other people to fly off.

[@vicksvapor77]

Oh, you're right. I think I might have moved my toggle back instead of forward when I was watching it, lol. It's weird they still had Colby's look like a flying picture but not Jack.

[@rudyt36]

Actually Bianca is coming back in the spring, so she wont technically be removed from the opening again because she'll be back. If anything, she will stay as the closing pic, where she rightfully belongs. =) I like your opening list, however, mines would go as followed (closely similar): Erica, Ryan, Kendall, Zach, Aidan, Annie, Tad, Krystal, Adam, Jr, Amanda, David, Jesse, Angie, Frankie, Randi, Pete, Colby, Palmer, Joe, Jake, Taylor, Brot, Jack, Reese, and Bianca.

[@vicksvapor77]

I agree. There was a rumor he was on recurring, but I don't think there's any truth to it.

[@CCM030889]

i tried they wont answer me back, its about time to just reshoot new pictures for everyone and start over. lets hope that AMC's opening is fixed by family album verison 19.

[@vicksvapor77]

Well, it was within their last week on the show, I assume, so it's probably fine. We don't know what the legalities are exactly. Maybe the rule is that they can be removed exactly 3 days before their contract cycle lapses? :P

[@vicksvapor77]

You can't say it applies to all shows on completely different networks. Also, when was Nathaniel removed? Was his character off the show? Also, I never assumed OLTL had the same guidelines as AMC. They obviously don't, they're horrible at updating their opening. I was just trying to give reason to why they may have removed Christina early.

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

0:36...name?

[@vicksvapor77]

That's very possible, but they didn't wait two weeks to remove Babe before debuting this one. And they have to add Brot and Reese to make the opening long enough, lol.

[@rudyt36]

My order personally would be Erica/Kendall/Zack/Aidan/Greenlee/Ryan/Annie/Tad/Krystal/Adam/JR/Jeese/Angie/Frankie/Randi/Taylor/Jake/Amanda/Joe/Stuart/Palmer/Pete/ Colby/David/Carmen/Jackson/Reese/and lastly Bianca. Babe and Dre-Not on the show anymore, Myrtle-She should get a spot in the beginning Album montage, she deserves it. Future Newcomers to the show-Brot Monroe and Forrest Williams(probably Reese's dad), they might be added as well in the opening. =)

[@vicksvapor77]

After Liza comes back next Friday. I'd guess the first episode in May, since Bianca will have left by then.

[@vicksvapor77]

Adam is in his normal spot. No one knows why Stuart was removed, there's clearly room between Myrtle and Palmer for him. I know she's dead. I'm saying she wasn't dead at the time of these episodes, so she was still under contract. And they won't remove her character until they've killed her off/given her another sort of offscreen exit.

[@vicksvapor77]

Yeah, I had the same thought. But maybe in place of Myrtle, they'll add Stuart back in. We'll see on Monday or Tuesday, God willing.

[@Whiteboymdew]

Those photos are like memories of before, so they just might not do that, but I hope if they do that they put in one of Mrytle she should have one in the beginning. Tad needs a new shot.

[@vicksvapor77]

As for why Bianca is next to Frankie... no idea. That is definitely random. I assume when they add in Carmen and Reese and remove Babe next time, Carmen will slip in between Jack and Colby and Reese in between Frankie and Bianca (assuming they keep the same general order). Carmen is friends with Colby. However, I think Elizabeth is just really camera shy. She doesn't appear to enjoy pictures, so maybe she's refusing to take a headshot. It's possible.

[@vicksvapor77]

So based on the new promo pics, we'll be adding Reese, Brot and Petey; removing Greenlee, Babe, Myrtle and Dre.

[@rudyt36]

Theres been rumors that a special legendary character will be coming back to the series. If those who know of the title given to the character will understand. SHE will be probably returning sometime in 2009. =)

[@DavidEvanSmith]

Hm, I replied to this earlier, but I guess it didn't take. What is with the order of shots? Myrtle, Palmer, Jack, Colby, Dre, Amanda, David, Taylor, Jake, Randi, Frankie, Bianca?! Makes NO sense. Glad Bianca's back at the end. LOVE the new floating segment, and Palmer's shot is AMAZING! I want Stuart AND Opal returned to the opening with the next update, and Peter to be added!

[@vicksvapor77]

4. They love the Chandlers being by each other, so I don't see that happening. And I think Colby will get the fly away shot because she did before Bianca came back. 5. They've never done that, mainly just the current cast in the past.

[@vicksvapor77]

I honestly don't even care if all they do is remove people, I want people out of here that aren't on anymore! This is going to turn out to be the longest lasting version yet :X

[@BASEJOCK11]

yeah she past away last October (RIP)

[@vicksvapor77]

Ava is not returning. Also, Greenlee's mother isn't "debuting," but returning, and neither she or Reese's mother are going to be in the opening. I also doubt Riley will be in it.

[@rudyt36]

Wow, I just learned that as well, thats amazing that we'll her back, though it's not quite the right anwser I was thinking... The person who I had in mind was actually DIXIE herself. It is said that she might be probably returning sometime in 2009, and that (SPOILER) she did not die, and that she is currently in a coma for a for those years, kept by David Hayward.

[@DavidEvanSmith]

I think the order needs to be: Erica/Jackson/Kendall/Zach/Greenlee/Ryan/Annie/Aidan/Tad-Krystal-Adam (floating)/JR/Natalia (new)/Jesse/Angie/Joe/Stuart/Opal-Palmer-Peter(floating) (new)/Colby/Frankie/Randi/Amanda/Jake/Taylor/David/Reese/Bianca/Erica. That makes more sense to me.

[@aiden877]

did they kill carmen or something? because she just vanished during a storyline about her and erica fighting over jackson.

[@greenlee7smythe]

sigh. one life to live is better. thats my new favorite soap. i give up on all my children. when rebecca budig goes, im done! one life has gotten much better!

[@Whiteboymdew]

It really could be Stuart. I agree with everyone I hope theres a new opening and I hope everyone is moved around. To give it a new clean look.

[@AnaGuerricoFan]

They put Stuart in the opening only when they have room. Babe & Free need to be in the opening until their contracts expire...

[@vicksvapor77]

Oh yea, I forgot about her. I guess we'll have Colby as the fly-away shot. *rolls eyes* This is how I see it: Erica, Ryan, Kendall, Zach, Reese, Aidan, Annie, Tad, Krystal, Adam, JR, Amanda, David, Jesse, Angie, Joe, Palmer, Jack, Jake, Taylor, Brot, Frankie, Randi, Pete, Colby.

[@vicksvapor77]

I think it's Stuart, who isn't in the opening anyway :(

[@vicksvapor77]

I thought no one knew how long the first one was used. But yeah, six and seven were used for WAY too long.

[@rudyt36]

I find your comments to be entertaining, yet factual, but I cant help but feel that at times Greenlee creates herself to play as the helpless victim. I too am not trying to start an argument, but there were so many times she seemed to come across as that in her dilemas. Her stealing Spike, breaking Aidan's heart, only to go back to Ryan, while he was still married to Annie. Babe was one thing, and Greenlee as well, and now they're both gone...

[@rudyt36]

I couldn't agree with you more. =) Overall, I do hope that some of the old characters, like Skye, Hayley, Maria, Brooke, Sean, Lily, Dixie, Mia, heck, even Cliff and Nina, and more do come back with a new storyline added to them. =) It would bring the ethenticity of the show back from the grave, and into people's view. I don't mind the change as you agree, just dont over do it. Hope they change, or at least fix the opening sequence soon. RIP Stuart... =(

[@vicksvapor77]

YES, if they don't put Pete on contract, I'm going to cry. They always group the vets with no storyline together (Myrtle, Palmer, Jack this time). Colby and Dre are friends, even though he's not on, Amanda and David are going to be a couple, possibly a triangle with Taylor. Taylor and Jake are going to be a couple. Randi needs to be here instead of Frankie because she can't be next to Bianca and have them both with their hands in their hair. She is linked to Taylor and Frankie is to Jake.

[@vicksvapor77]

Ok, I'm afraid we won't get the new one until July, with Amanda Baker's Babe returning briefly briefly :'( Babe ruins everything, even when she's dead!

[@rudyt36]

I agree with you aswell, nothing beats the originals, I basically grew up with them you know. =) I'm all up for new characters, but characters who just have no known background, or is just there to fill in the slots just annoy the hell out of me. I like your ideas, about sean and the other core family's, it would be nice to have Skye back, hell, even Hayley. I miss Dixie so much, so Di would be great to bring back from the dead. =) Lily would have to come back aswell since she had great reviews.

[@vicksvapor77]

Natalia and Opal are recurring, and you legally have to leave Dre in. I like the order though, except David needs to be by Amanda somehow.

[@Whiteboymdew]

That can't be possible, are you serious we saw her died, we saw here get buried, we saw her come now from heaven how is this possible! Where did you get that spoiler from.

[@rudyt36]

Honestly, if the can take the time to update the new characters into the opening sequence, then they should at least update the current ones aswell. I mean most have a new look, e.i Krystal, Tad, Zach. I do hope in the near future they do a new opening, with new pics of them. Oh, by the way, I think they're going to rearrange it alittle to accomidate another new character that will debut in June, so lets see if we can expect another change soon. =)

[@vicksvapor77]

uh, no, it definitely was. i wasn't asking, i was telling you... it was natalia.

[@vicksvapor77]

That's what I hear

[@vicksvapor77]

LOL, I wouldn't call it that. It's definitely assertive, but both shots are so far away.

[@greenlee7smythe]

i meant get Greenlee and Kendall away from Ryan. Not Greenlee away from Ryan and Kendall. hehe. typo. oops.

[@greenlee7smythe]

okay ppl here's how it should really be....Jack should be the first picture after Erica and KENDALL should be the fly away pic....cause the first and fly away pic have always been for the ppl erical loves the most. the fly away pic should be Kendall.

[@rudyt36]

Well i've did my research, and well sadly Dixie's return is nothing more than a possiblility... T.T As for new updates, for sure Greenlee is leaving sometime during the Spring, so in March sources say. I will miss Babe and Myrtle in the opening, but will most likely be removed, along side with Dre, when Greenlee departs from the show... As for Newcomers, Laila Williams (Reese's mother) will debut, along side with Greenlee's mother in Jan. 29th.

[@greenlee7smythe]

no because the difference between Greenlee and Babe, is for one Greenlee knows shes not a saint. Babe thought she was. Two: Kendall and Erica made Greenlee pay for what she did, but Babe did not. Everytime Kendall or Erica insulted Babe or tried to get revenge, David or someone ALWAYS stopped them. Greenlee being in that well, bite by a snake and starved for 5 wks on top of being poisoned by a root was more than deserving. Babe never got what was coming to her, thats why megan mctavish was fired

[@vicksvapor77]

They would never bring back Ava. She was a trainwreck. I also don't see them recasting Leven.

[@rudyt36]

I personally dont love babe to an extent, I just only got into her character because she shared similar struggles to the women who I do love, which was Dixie. =) Her likeness to Dixie, and also her appearance made me consider her as a favorite, but only that. However, as you might know, I will miss Greenlee when she departs from the show... I mean her getting back with Ryan, and her life turning around for the better, only for her to die later on, its just cruel...

[@BASEJOCK11]

yeah i think they're going to have it like adam is killed in reality its really stuart

[@Whiteboymdew]

Bianca signed 4 months.

[@vicksvapor77]

Well, I failed at the guessing game haha. I still think within the next few weeks, though. They have to be sick of seeing Babe as much as I am.

[@vicksvapor77]

Nah. I think it's actually pretty good. It flows well and the vets have a nice showcase. Jack's shot is too brief for my liking, but he's hardly used anyway.

[@CCM030889]

"flying pictures" i love that myrtle got 1 but come on they need to sit down and work on this opening. the flying pics were much better in the 1st 5 versions, they need to pick the older ppl who have been on the show the longest and wil still be on the show and put them in the flying pictures segments, please someone fix this opening

[@Whiteboymdew]

Erica, Jackson, Greenlee, Zach, Keneall, Aiden, Ryan crazy Annie, JR, ,Colby, Adam, Stuart, Tad, Opal, Krystal, Jesse, Angie, Frankie, Randi, Taylor, Jake, David, Amanda, Reese, Bianca, and Erica. 1. I see Opal more then I see Palmer. 2. I think I see Stuart more then I see Palmer. 3. Point saying Opal should get a spot in the opening and Staurt should get a spot. 4. Jackson's shot just doesn't fit in with all the others and him next to Colby just isn't working out with me.

[@greenlee7smythe]

when babe died, i did a happy dance that the baby napper was finally gone! there is a god!

[@rudyt36]

I'm also hoping for newer, fresher faceshots of them. Don't know why Stuart isn't part of the sequence, because there is definately enough room between Myrtle and Palmer, which I gotta say, Palmer's new faceshot is strong and "out there". Which is fine, but the shot of Jackson behind him is way to quick. The near end sequence baffles me because it makes no sense at all. I'll miss Babe, and Myrtle when they're removed from the opening, but I gotta say, this opening is my least fav. from them all.

[@vicksvapor77]

Also, this is tied for the least amount of characters in an opening for this version. So they definitely had room for Stuart, lol.

[@vicksvapor77]

So Stuart was on today. Man, these update people are weird, lol.

[@AnaGuerricoFan]

Nope, Robin Christopher refused to come back...I bet it's Dixie...

[@BASEJOCK11]

i see josh is gone as well

[@vicksvapor77]

natalia! jesse's daughter

[@prckay]

amc returns to ctv two in jan

[@greenlee7smythe]

haha. you are right! i do love Greenlee! my favorite character. and you are also right i have not forgiven this show for having her go back to loser ryan and dumping dreamy hottie aidan. she deserves way better than abusive ryan. for that, IF Rebecca Budig comes back, hopefully her presumed dead accident will have got it trough her thick skull that Aidan is the man for her. CM is a hottie, but enough is enough. But yes, i am VERY protective of my Greenlee. hehe. im going to miss her. =(

[@greenflashes6507]

Last intro with Myrtle :(

[@vicksvapor77]

stop being so demanding! he'll get to it when he gets to it.

[@vicksvapor77]

Let's hope so, haha. I want a good Kendall close up, for Christ's sake! HAHA

[@greenlee7smythe]

and besides, rule one in a soap, you dont bring on new characters like Krystal and Babe one day and a few months later make them baby nappers. the characters were ruined. now had Babe had gotten what was coming to her, BY the kanes it would have been ok. but se did worse then Greenlee. She lied to get JR out of prison for attempting to kill Kendall which almost caused Spikes death. TWO kids hurt. and then she toyed with Josh's heart, knowing she would break it. so know Babe was ruined.

[@greenlee7smythe]

now Greenlee isn't perfect. I love the fact that she's wicked. And love watching the actress play bad and get away with it. Just like Erica. No matter what Erica does, i will cheer her on. cause shes fun to watch. Babe was just flat out annoying. she hurt Bianca time and time again. kidnapping is kidnapping, but greenlee kidnapped spike for all of five minutes and went to give the baby back. Babe had miranda for a whole year and then gave her back ONLY because she got her son back first!

[@greenlee7smythe]

i think kendall and zach can survive the kiss of death/boring thing if they went on a wacky fun mystery together! they need to get lily back. and get erica away from adam. get rid of carmen and get erica and jack back together pronto! i think erica could have a wonderful storyline with greenlee as they finally come to love and respect each other for jacks sake! put liza back with adam and bring back the old colby! bring on marian. greenlee stay w/aidan. livia get more story. 1life 2 live is best
