Thanks to TV Guide, we get a sneak peek of the new AMC opening credits before it is scheduled to air on Wednesday, December 22, 2010! Dr. Hayward looks better than ever…
ABC’s flagship soap All My Children hasn’t had a new opening credits sequence in ages — in fact, not since Julie Hanan Carruthers took over as executive producer in the 2002-03 season. But a brand new opener is set to debut Wednesday, December 22. Gone are the archival scrapbook photos seen in the current credits, as well as images of David Canary (Adam) and Ray MacDonnell (Joe), who have retired from the show, and James Mitchell (Palmer), who died early this year. That’s not all that’s missing: Carruthers decided to drop those stagey glamour shots of the AMC stars and replaced them with actual AMC clips for a fresher, more natural look. “The thought was to be more true to the characters and make their environments and lifestyles more specific in order to give the audience a window into Pine Valley,” says Carruthers. TV Guide Magazine brings you this exclusive first look.
