Which soap should change their opening titles?
EastEnders needs to change their opening titles because there opening titles getting out of date now. I also think Emmerdale should also change opening titles because it use to look better going across the fields. Coronation Street and Hollyoaks does not have to change at the minute.

I think that EE have already set a precedence for themselves in that the opening titles will always remain the same, except for minor changes to the map and possibly tweaks to the music. I wouldn't personally enjoy a completely different title sequence for EE.
Emmerdales titles look cheap and I'd be happy of they did go back to the more traditional rolling hills shots, to show off the setting a bit better. Hollyoaks titles are horrendous. Cheap and trashy just like the show. |

I think Eastenders should sometimes use the night time opening credits that they used in the flashback episode, that was really cool.

I don't want the titles for EastEnders to ever change, unless its just minor changes.

While the titles look fine, the EastEnders theme seriously needs an updated arrangement. It sounds like some bloke messing about with his organ in the back bedroom.

EastEnders theme and credits should be left alone. They are both far too iconic for massive changes. The odd tweak here and there is fine.
The EastEnders Map titles could run forever and never really needs changing. It doesn't feature Pictures of Cast or parts of the soap. |

I think EastEnders theme and credits should be left how it's are. Minor changes I wouldn't mind, but nothing more.

EE should change their theme tune to that awful groan Les made the other day!

Seeing that there is a growing resemblance between Phil Mitchell and Bod, Bods theme tune should be used.

The only change I'd like to see from the EE titles is at the start it should zoom out from the East End not from the middle of the Thames.

EastEnders need to add the Emirates Air Line across the Thames to the titles.

EastEnders needs a tweak, the titles could do with a new colour and the music needs a rearrangement!
Emmerdale is out of date, it was a title sequence that worked at the time, however the sets have changed and they could go back to something more traditional, again, the music could do with a newer arrangement. |

They should bring back the theme music that we had about twenty years ago that only lasted a year before they brought back the original music after so many complaints from Eastenders fans

EastEnders tried it in 1993 and it wasn't popular, although I liked it, I'm guessing it would have been changed every few years from then on. Stick with the original

A lot of soaps seem to change their titles and theme tune at the same time. Quite a rarity when they change one but not the other.
Eg Brookside - New titles for episode 500 in 1987 New theme tune on last episode on 1990 but same titles. Completely New titles in October 1991. New titles at various points until 1999. 1999 - completely new style of titles, same music. 2002 - New theme tune and completely new style of titles again. |

I wish HO would change their titles completely. Do titles which don't feature cast members.
Maybe do some sort of fly-through of the village locations and sets, and maybe do it so that the last part of the titles somehow merges into the first opening scene of the episode. With EE, I loved the night time titles they did for the flash back episode during live week, if they were ever to do a change, maybe something more atmospheric like those. I don't actually mind the Emmerdale titles, but I do agree it would be nice to see more shots of the village and surrounding areas, like we saw during the helicopter crash scenes when they did some fly over shots, they looked amazing. Do something with those, maybe similar to my HO idea of a fly-through of the village, including shots of Home Farm, the Dingles farm etc. |

Home and Away needs to go back to their original opening tittles (except change the characters to who's current) and bring back the theme tune!

I wish EastEnders would use this arrangement: 1994-2009 theme tune but with the current credits. I think it works better. https://youtu.be/KHBkbmQoUus
But it would also be nice if EE did special effects with the end credits, much like they did some years back when the episode ended with an aerial view of the square panning out into the title credits. That was great at the time & I wish it would feature more really. Also, Corrie should go back to it's original theme tune. Even after 5 years the current one still doesn't feel right. |
