Premiering in April 1963, ABC’s iconic daytime drama has seen its opening title sequence and classic theme music refreshed numerous times over the decades to reflect the evolving cast and storylines.
On Friday, November 14, viewers spotted the first wave of updates, with Chris McKenna (Jack Brennan) and Braedyn Bruner (Emma Scorpio-Drake) making their debut in the sequence.
Then, on Monday, November 17, a second set of cast members was finally added, including Rory Gibson (Michael Corinthos), Alexa Havins Bruening (Lulu Spencer), Nazneen Contractor (ADA Justine Turner), and Ryan Paevey (Nathan West).
Following this, Bluesy Burke was added on November 18
