Miss the Opening Titles?

Many Australian viewers have recently been wondering what has happened to the show’ss opening titles and world famous theme tune. Recently, the show has started going straight from the recap to the day’ss episode, removing the opening titles usually sandwiched in between.

Well, Australia’ss ‘sThe Courier-Mail’s reports that this won’st be forever. They report that a Seven spokesperson has confirmed that the theme and titles will be brought back “once they get through this run of bad luck on Summer Bay”. Apparently, with so much happening at the moment, they need every second of airtime possible, and cutting the opening titles was the easiest way to achive this.

The article also reports that new opening titles are being filmed in about a fortnight. Could this see the ‘spicture frame’s theme replaced by brand new titles, or does it simply mean that the shots will get another refresh? At the start of the 2006 season, all but one of the credit shots were changed, but still remained in the picture frame style, which debuted at the beginning of the 2004 season.

You can give your thoughts on the credits’s disappearence here.
