TheFlaminGalah Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Or they could just cut the recap to 20 seconds, I don't need a minute to be reminded of what happened last episode, thank you very much. The recaps are what's taking the most time, and if it's time they're worried about, well something has got to give and it's not the opening credits.

sindikatas Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 On 2017-02-05 at 11:37 AM, cadyctslover said: Surprise! Absolutely no changes for 2017. The current recap music has now been in use since 2014 (4 seasons) and the current title card style has been in use since 2013 (5 seasons). As we know, H&A tend to debut new credits/recap presentation at the beginning of a season, so we can expect the same opening for the rest of the 2017 season. So with the current title card style carrying on through 2017, this is now Home and Away's longest-serving opener ever. The theme tune (now only played over the closing credits for International broadcasts) has been is use in its current form since 2009 (9 seasons). However for the 2009 theme, half of the vocals (Luke Dolahenty's) and some of its musical roots are carried over from the 2007 version, which now stands at over 10 years old! This is now the longest-serving version of the theme tune ever. Is this really the identity the show wants to portray with its opening in 2017, tired and out of date? Having said all that, Neighbours this year decided to scrap a well-regarded format for a green-screen mess that would have looked old-fashioned in 2002. And viewers took notice! Let that be a lesson to anyone at Home and Away or Network 7 who believes that credits are no longer important to the modern viewer. I'm still holding hope. They did not renew the titles straight from the new year in 1989, 1990, 2005. And I agree, Home and Away song version in closing titles is very dated now.

cadyctslover Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Perhaps the Producers are waiting until 2018 to renew the opening? Maybe they will introduce a modern take on the opening credits and theme tune to coincide with the 30th anniversary year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c120701 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 If they brought the theme back though they'd have to change the lyrics... You know we belong together, You and I forever and ever Forever means the night Until the morning light And from the very first moment I saw you I never felt such emotion I'm walking in shame Just because (just because), I don't know your name. Hold me in your arms, don't let me go, Oh look my wife is calling A new bed each day, Home and Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxland 89 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I hate that the opening and the international closing doesn't even match! Looks so messy. The could at least bother to change the colour of the logo to orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke39 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Least it's not the incredibly awkward green light Neighbors has hahah. IF Home and Away do it. revamp the whole opening and closing sequences. Like to do it properly. I see a new one for the 30th anniversery in 2018 too.

joany208121 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think the show is setting up some nice family units atm, so could potentially have them appearing outside their houses/ places of work come the 30th anniversary and 7k episode.
