What was your favorite Guiding Light Opening?

[Smithey]

I'll start... When the lighthouse was reintroduced in the early 90s. I also loved that same opening when the music was changed to a "jazzy" beat.

The 91? lighthouse version.

[GuidingLite]

The disco version - because it makes me laugh...Nola tapping her foot and Josh looking at her like a starved dog....Floyd dancing behind Katie....Nola waking up screaming....Tony's karate kick....Bert Bauer's 'deer in the headlights' look in the courthouse hall.....lol....it just all makes me laugh.....

There were two versions of the disco opening. At the time they were both considered cutting edge as I remember, trying to give a taste of the drama, romance and excitement of the show. Plus it seemed to bring the show into modern times. I didn't mind Nola screaming and I thought there were other good clips from both versions. But the Tony kick while he's yelling and Mike Bauer's stance with the gun - no, just no.

[GuidingLite]

Tony's kick - and his emcee outfit tuxedo with the frilly shirt lol....ALL the people dancing.....Mike Bauer the Gunslinger Lawyer....Carrie Todd jumping down on Ross on the floor......the gradual close ups of Nola marrying Floyd......it all makes me laugh...

The last opening I liked because they included the recurring characters too

[gudabear]

I liked something about all of them until the one scrolling across the screen. All of them were awful after that, the worst being the hands. I think there was a speech about brotherhood and everyone being interconnected, and the entire show was about criminals and people screwing each other over. Kind of the opposite of that message.

Early 80sVincent Irizzary opening with explosion and one with he and Beth riding a horse on the beach.

[Mysterio]

For me when the theme was slow. So thats Mid 80’s when I started watching as a kid.

[GuidingLite]

The one that ended with Nola and Quint dancing at the Country Club?

[Mysterio]

I think so. Let me Ytube again.

I loved the 90's intro before it was cut down to 10 seconds. The 50th anniversary opening in 2002 was pretty good, too.

I like this short-lived version from 1996 that sounded like Hamp was playing the intro. It starts around 3:33.

THIS is my favorite!!!!

[Mefisto]

The last one where I was singing "only love can save the world" at the top of my lungs and my neighbors rushed over one day to ask if I was ok

[jward1108]

Lol! My husband and I used to sing along too!

[Smithey]

Same here! Hold on to love…. That was a love song!!!

[SquealBeale]

Partially unpopular opinion, but the music 2003-2005 was very catchy; but good lord the graphics were atrocious!
