In the 1980's soap operas ruled daytime television. Here is a compilation of openings from the soap operas which lined the airwaves at the time.

The soaps filmed in NYC had so much gravitas. A majority of the actors were theatre trained and each episode felt like a three-act play.
It's sad that these soaps don't have their own channel again. I miss these shows
"Search For Tomorrow" ended on December 31, 1986.

No, it ended on December 26, 1986.
GIANNI What a great montage.I remember many eons ago (speaking figuratively, of course) logging onto this mysterious website called “The World of Soap Themes” which, I now see is a clue of some sort. One day, maybe Tomorrow or Tomorrow after that something about Marisa Tomei’s courtroom scene in the film “My Cousin Vinny” which is more a movie about Soap Opera than anyone this side of the screen unfamiliar with Tomei’s work on As the World Turns
🎉❤ l started watching CBS with my granny in 1975. Y&R, ATWT,GL. In the 80's was Santa Barbara. In 1984,all ABC soaps until they were cancelled. The 90's, NBC . My favourites were AMC,OLTL, GH and GL. Out of the soaps, l have 2 left as of July 2024...GH and B&B. In January 2025, CBS will premiere the Gates. Our soap families are the ones whom we choose, they will always be in our hearts. Always watching daytime dramas in coastal Mississippi ❤🎉
The lady who babysat me(who became an extended family member) always watched young and the restless, evertime i hear the theme it takes me back years
Edge of Night ended on 12/28/1984, Search ended on 12/26/1986, Another World on 3/30/1987 changed its theme music. The opening sequence changed later in 1987. Bold and Beautiful bowed on 3/23/1987

"Another World" changed its theme music long before that. It used to be so nice, then they changed it and came out with new theme music with lyrics. Just awful!

That Santa Barbara opening creeped me out a bit seeing that person sunbathing and the polo guy creeped me out for some reason
Hands down Edge of Night had the BEST THEME !!

No. B&B did
Search for Tomorrow's theme sounds like a night time cop show.
This creator seems to really have liked “ One Life to Live “ & “ Search For Tomorrow “ as it appears multiple times times in this video of openings to soaps. GH & Edge of Night were shows I watched although Edge was cancelled and left TV on December 27,1984. So being here is well OK as I liked the Theme music used from late1980-1984 prior to that it was boring and bland opening . After Edge left I got into The Y&R in the later 1980s.
I was "ABC ONLY" with the soaps . They were so good in the 1980s ! The ones on CBS and NBC seemed so DREARY and slow and cheap.

OMG-yes! I did watch Another World on NBC, because the head writer during the 1970’s was fantastic.

Moron. B&B was NOT cheap back then. It was the most expensive soap on the air in the 80’s with the elaborately staged fashion shows, filming on the Queen Mary, all the fashion and models, etc.
I miss As The World Turns
This has to be 1986 because Search For Tomorrow ended in 1986
Going by the thumbnail. Lori Laughlin either lost weight or got a nose job.

Most of these are cheesy and awful, especially Search For Tomorrow. Not sure what they were thinking with that awful opening theme. The best one was The Bold and the Beautiful.
