It's basically the same concept as the previous ones only instead of CGI backgrounds it's filmed on real location - which does make them seem a bit more happy and "Neighbours"-esque. But other than that it's not that different.

They're awful in my opinion.
I really like them, I did miss seeing Darren's sexy eyes at the end but Mercedes getting Erica Kane-esque shot at the end was nice. The only changes I would suggest is to slow the shots of the cast down, add the actors names in and split the characters up into 4 different opening. |

I've rewatched and mercy Cameron, grace and Warren's are my favourites of the new titles. Don't like the rest though as I find them cheesy

Judging by the titles I think-
Nico Cameron Celine Are all on their way out. As for celine, I don't think she's ever really worked and I just fail to see where she could go. It's a shame the actress who played portia left because I felt she had longetiviy. |

As the villians though whether they're leaving or not it makes sense to show them individually being all villianous.
Based on the break stings (which I'm not 100% sold on) it looks like any in groups shots had individual shots filmed too - Nancy and Darren are together on the titles but were separate for the break stings tonight. |

I liked them, they are not that much different to the old ones though.
What annoys me is some characters linger longer than others though. Neeta has 3 shots of herself as does Maxine, while James appears at the front of his and Marnies screenshot just once, blink and you'd miss him! Not sure why Diego, Mac and Dirk are altogether either? Mac should have been with Neeta or Nathan and Dirk with Cindy. And Warren, James or Darren should have been at the end, not Mercedes. |

I'm so disappointed with James' shot, far too fleeting for such a great character.

Why does Marnie look like a reject from Cabaret? I keep expecting her to bring out the jazz hands whenever the credits come on.
I can't understand why Neeta's shot is so long. I can understand the likes of Mercy and Nancy having longer shots, but Neeta is hardly a major character. She spends more time off screen than on. Joanne's shot is always quite weird, IMO. |

I don't mind Mercedes being the last shot, plus the final shot of the village when the title shows is beautiful.
I agree that some people seem to feature much longer than others. I know its 4 people, but the shots of the 4 teens in the hot tub seems to last so long! And yes some of the pairings/non-pairings seem a little odd. Why isn't Dirk with Cindy etc. Overall though I do like them, music hasn't changed much though which I was a little disappointed with. Don't hate it though. |

Those are bloody great. Yes, cheesy as hell but totally works with the show itself.
One of the best ones they've done actually. |

I'm curious to know why you think James, who has been on the show all of five minutes, should have been given the closing shot?

I actually think Tony should get the first slot (not bloody Ste!) and I have no problem with Mercedes having the closing shot (although Nancy, Jack, Frankie or Darren also deserve it as they've been there longest. Even Tom and Cindy), but as great as James is, I don't think he'll stick around for more than a couple of years.

I really like them. The fairground is rather random, but it works, somehow!

Darren maybe, or even Tony, but I'd actually say they got it pretty spot on with Mercedes being at the end. She's definitely the most well known character in HO as well as being ridiculously photogenic. She's the logical choice to be there.

Only logical reason for Neeta's being shot being so long is that they intend to cut it when they add some of the incoming characters over future weeks.

I think because originally the closing shot was always the resident 'bad guy' we had Brendan and Dr Browning in the past at the end. So Warren or James for me would work. I would have been happy with Darren staying at the end though, but i guess they wanted to team him with Nancy.

I like them but they go so quickly! Joanne's one is a bit strange as it doesn't really show her face but overall I think they are better then the old ones.
