    Watching this makes me so lonely for the past .. This also makes me sad and want to cry as well .. I know that we should never dwell in the past , but the past is the only place in time where I had parents and grandparents who were still alive in times of trouble and despair .. And though these days are forever gone , it's soothing to know that this share of Ryan's hope brings back such fond memories ..
    Thanks for sharing ..

      Sarah, me too. Since I lost my parents and grandparents I long for the same. I never wanted to be a person who lives in the past but now it's where my family is. It was also a much simpler time than now so it's good we can transport back there just for an episode...or a theme song ❤

      Ryan's Hope was scheduled for noon each weekday. Most ABC affiliates had noon newscasts by the early 1980's so many weren't clearing the show at all or were tape delaying it until after midnight. This caused the show to not attract enough advertising revenue to be profitable so it was cancelled and the noon to 1pm hour officially being handed back to the affiliate stations to program as they may. I think the only soap opera left on afternoon network television is General Hospital and I bet that show is on life support.

    Watching this really made me get a teary eyed. When I began Ryan's Hope in the early 80's, I was in my early teens and life was so much simpler. Also the fact that good, quality soaps are a thing of the past and now people would rather watch the trashy Real Housewives franchise.

    I can remember as young as 4 yrs old watching my mother looking @ this soap.
    It brings such happiness as well as sadness, bc My mother was soooo very abusive 2 me @ such a young age ,however it was not all bad either .
    The abusing didn't start until 1980 after brother was born.

    5th Opening was their best, if not one of "the" best, and one of my top five favorite soap openings ever. The opening was cinematic and captured the Ryans and the Coleridges, Delia and Jack, in just the right contemporary light. It still resonates. After said 5th opening, and as cast members came and went, I am sorry, but production got sloppy and incorporated video images interspersed with their film images, and then back to film images, before they went to all videoed images towards the end of the series run. This really was a highly unique and original soap I wish ABC had loved a little bit more.

    Pretty neat. Some were a little hard to make out. I know the famous Marg Helgenberger one running between her brothers but later there is a different actress but I can’t make out who it is. I don’t recall the Tishina Arnold hotdog one at all. It’s also the worst shot of any of the openings. It figures she didn’t a get a glamorous one but they did improve it a bit with the running up the steps one which I do remember. I always liked Roger’s and the red corvette. He was sooooo cool. Good memories. Keep up the good work.

I didn't notice a sound difference from the 5th to the 6th, it sounded the same. I'm unclear what you meant. The sights of the cast in New York City was cool! When I saw the final opening it was sad, as it seemed like Johnny, Maeve, Roger, Jack? And a bunch of people who were young. I didn't know the man who appeared before Sister Mary Joel? An older man near a body of water in Central Park?
