Gloria MOnty was sort of like JER to me although much more innovative and groundbreaking. The iconic opening sequence that ran from the 1975 until 1993 had two themes (the first of which lasted just a year), as shown below: Here's a 1963 opening (in poor video quality), with a very beautiful theme:
To get things started, here is a 1963 (partial) promo for the "new" soap: However, nobody was better at doing this-or was more copied than-GH was back in its 80's heyday.) (To be fair, Y&R was the first soap designed to blatantly appeal to youth.
While never a personal favorite of mine, I do consider GH to be the second-most important soap in the genre's history (with ATWT ranking as the most important soap), given the fact that it was largely responsible for shifting the genre's direction away from the "traditional"/P&G method of storytelling to campy plots that were written in an attempt to capture the popularity of young America. Although I feel bad for having almost nothing to offer, I realized that GH was the only "current" soap (until now) that does not have a thread that can be used for discussing classic storylines, posting articles, etc.
