Which soap needs a new opening?
Now that Hollyaoks as revealed their new opening which of the other soaps do you think needs a new one?
I think Corrie needs one desperately, they need to remix the theme song so its more modern like Emmerdale did and include the cast in the opening. |

I like the Corrie titles, if anything they need to go back to older ones with the more traditional soundtrack.

Gotta love that true Rural Yorkshire vibeThose are by far the best titles the show has ever had and really made the show stand out from the rest. I really hate the current ones. Corrie also need shots of the set, in focus. I don't think the current ones draw in the viewer, they haven't captured the character or spirit of the show in any measure. |

Hollyoaks, why can't I vote it? I find it so embarrassing now.

Corrie desperately need new titles, the current blurred ones are awful. I'd also like It to go back to the old music. Quote:

I too would prefer a more rural feel to the ED opening credits. I get quite nostalgic when I remember the old Emmerdale Farm ending with the sun setting behind the farmhouse - but that wouldn't fit with the modern programme.
I haven't watched River City for a while but I used to think it's opening credits were awful. It looked like something from a daytime magazine programme about Glasgow - ie done on the cheap. |

I like Emmerdale's current opening, I its fast paced, modern and exciting. The only thing I'd change about it is update the shot of Home Farm.
The theme, especially the disjointed bridge as we reach the village scene, is also terrible. |

I disagree entirely. I think I'd possibly like them more if they didn't look like they gave a cat a GoPro.

I love this compilation of all the Corrie titles:
https://youtu.be/wQDiaAmRA-o I like the 1969 titles. Proper gritty. The 1976 titles are more iconic though. For today, I would try to give the street more of a sense of place than it currently has. I think the 1969 titles did this well (as did 2002), so it would be something along those lines. |

EastEnders, it's never changed! Could just imagine a Neighbours or Hollyoaks style opening titles with the Mitchells all playing happy families & looking into the camera with cheesy grins hahaha!

Definitely EastEnders! The theme tune is fine but that boring map of London has always been really dull and now looks kind of irrelevant. EE is not about the whole of London, just Albert Square.

Here's my Corrie opening titles idea:

It's not in the poll but Home and Away is crying out for it. The theme was probably the most iconic of all the soaps and they took it away about 9 years ago
