Goofs
When Rose is in a Spa in Switzerland and escapes, she ends up in Belgium and Belgian farmers tell her she is in 's-Hertogenbosch. From Switzerland to Belgium is approximately 700 Kilometers/435 Miles. On top on that, 's Hertogenbosch isn't even located in Belgium. It's a town in the Netherlands, adding roughly 100 kilometers/62 miles to her travels on foot. See more »

I just started watching ATWT again. It's nice to see an even mix with the cast. In 1996, after watching off and on all my live (to give you an idea of how long, my earliest memory is the first color globe. I was actually alive when they used the organ)I quit watching because it got stupid. The 40th anniversary episode was a joke. Forward to this year. Hogan Scheffer and Chris Goutman breathed new life into ATWT. If they find the one missing element, ATWT could be number one again. BTW: The current title has to go. Here is my idea for ATWT visuals...
OPENING: Begin with the black and white globe and the original theme on organ. As the globe is centered and the title appears, a globe swishes across the screen from right to left. As this happens, a new version of the Charles Paul theme (original) begins. This takes us to cast shots. Start with Bob and Kim (always). Then a few more shots. We go to the first color globe with the title zooming out... a few more cast shots, then the 81-93 globe with the title entering from off camera... more cast shots, then the 93 globe with the title entering... a few more cast shots, then Nancy. The globe swishes from right to center and moves back to complete the logo. My logo is similar to the current one (with the globe as the "O" in "WORLD"), but as it is completed, the three spotlight beams shoot out from the globe. An announcer says: "AS THE WORLD TURNS... This portion brought to you today by ____________." The globe is like a photo image of the earth. The revamped theme is played on tenor sax. The cast shots go at a quick clip since this title features the globes.
MIDBREAK: Both have the logo in place with the globe as the "O" in "WORLD". The first half uses a revamped "Simple Melody" by Charles Paul. The announcer says: "Stay tuned for part two of AS THE WORLD TURNS in just a moment." The second half uses the solo piano version (circa 1981) as the announcer says: "And now, part two of AS THE WORLD TURNS."
CLOSING: The globe is centered on the screen and the logo is also full screen. We use the Charles Paul orchestral theme in C Major. The credits go as follows:
Writers, Directors, Executive Producer, Other above the line personnel,
Bob Hughes, Kim Hughes, John Dixon, Tom Hughes, Margo Hughes,,
All contract players in ABC order, All bit part players in ABC order,
Starring Helen Wagner as Nancy Hughes
and Eileen Fulton as Lisa
All production personnel,
Original theme by Charles Paul, Titles by..., Executive in Charge of Production... Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, Created by Irna Philips,
Title with copyright notice fades up.
ANNOUNCER: Join us again tomorrow/Monday for AS THE WORLD TURNS
PGP ident logo.
The 81 and 93 themes would be used as alternates during the week, with the Paul theme in its entirety on Friday.
Just an idea.
