Y&R actually takes out who left, but they "fill-in the blank" with someone already in the opening instead of adding the new people. I haven't seen the show freshly update their opening on a regular basis since September 1999 when they updated the 1988-99 opening for the last time, after they changed that opening, the opening has been touched every blue moon.
@Bluebirdsims I realize this comment is really old lol, but the model in the evening gown in the beginning is actually michelle stafford (phyllis summers)
Can you tell me who's the woman in the black evening gown who struts down the aisle in the begining and ending of the open credits? I always wondered who is she.
That's a question I've been hearing since this opening debuted in 2003. I think that is either Kathy Foster (former Y&R director/Producer) posing for the opening, or it's a model that worked for the main title company of this opening titled "Autonomy".
Me too, I just posted it just to add to all the openings, I posted the art drawings, the poses, curtain, so I added this one too, but I'm not crazy about this one. REASONS Black & White Widescreen Episodic (not right for this show) Not enough room for correct updates (to me anyway)
Yes, the last opening (same style, but new character poses for some people) occured in 2006. Daniel, Gloria, and Victoria were added. Kevin and Ashley got some new head shots. It's odd to me that in the last 6 years they haven't bothered to put some of the longer run actors in the opening. AND, they actually took Jess Walton out! If she will be back soon, why not leave her in as a sign of respect for her 24 years of service?
I am not Bluebirdsims! I don't like 16/9 screens, the sreen area is smaller and disformed. Why have a big TV when almost a third of the screen is coloured by black death area?
@AndrewJamesYo, are you serious?!?!? Is it really Michelle Stafford? Me and my sister use to always guess who it could be from the stories and we use to guess Michelle. That is too funny that it's actually her. How did you find out?
The opening should be coloured. Other soaps as "Guiding Light", "As the world turns" and "All my children" have more variations in their intros. I hate an opening with characters who have already left the show a long time ago. They make a change at some point and then, they neglect it again for about 4 years. If it is too much for them to update the openings, then they should do an neutral opening without characters or use a method to replace easyly characters who have left YR by new ones.

The woman in the black dress in the opening credits is Michelle Stafford(Phyllis Newman).
Y&R updates their opening styles much more often than B&B even updates opening lineups.

@Bluebirdsims The woman in the black dress is actually Michelle Stafford who plays Phyllis Summers Newman
Oh God, I wish this opening would be replaced.

That was Michelle Stafford a long time ago.
@@solomonpayne7179 Thank You.

@WWAHP In 2005, Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) confirmed that she is the one in the dress.

There can only be 6 cast members per opening though.
Oof the nostalgia it’s too mUCH
Bluebirdsims, what's wrong with widescreen?

Didn't recognize most of them. Where the hell did they come from?
Neil winters was family to me. He was George's family member.
do then explain the big advantage to me of widescreen!
she still makes occasional appearances

Yes, it is definitely Michelle.
She's on recurring status.
@WWAHP They have recent talked that it might be Michelle Stafford (Phyllis)
I don't like Neil without facial hair. He just looks real.
They shoul revamp it and change them more like ATWT. They shoul go back to colours!
