I respectfully disagree with you on this one. I think the drawings from 84 through 88 are the best at actually capturing character traits and the faces -- the subtleness of the drawings and the way they pan in and out of them I think are really lovely. These are by far my favorite Y&R credits...and with the theme before it was re-orchestrated in 1989.
I just remembered who Eric is -- Eric Garrison -- and you are right, he is in the sequence with Dina -- not Marc. Thanks for shaking my memory! Plus I mistyped above -- it should read "...at the drawing with this in mind..." not his mind....
Thank you. Good that we see on TH-cam more from soaps because you have to pay now on the Wost site and they no longer accept new members. Besides the "World of Soap Themes" will be closed in 2009.
Can anyone tell me who the characters are, the only ones I know are...3) Eric & Dina, 4) Ashley, 5) Traci, 8) Lauren and I'm guessing the lady before Lauren is Gina and the man after Lauren is Danny, but not sure.
1989deejay is right -- first two are John and Jack, then Jill -- the girl after Traci is Amy Lewis (played by Stephanie Williams) then after Amy is a young Nina Webster (if you look closely at the drawing with his mind you'll see the resemblance) and yes the last guy is Danny Romalotti. BUT, isn't the guy with Dina Marc Mergeron? who is Eric? Thanks.
HEY - I'm on crack -- that is Gina Roma not Nina -- i think i need to take a break from watching TH-cam : ) i just never thought Gina was in the opening credits -- go figure!
I really loved this opening ❤️👍
I was named after Ashley Abbott! This is my favorite soap! I hope that one day, that there would be the best of the Young and the Restless on DVD.
they does have y&r on DVD. it's on Ioffer.com

Bluebirdsims why did Jill abbot look different in that intro? It wasn’t Brenda Dickson.
The drawing opening, that is when I started watching ❤️
I was 16 and loved this show. Stopped watching it in 1996. Still wish I could go back to those days.
I read on The World of Soap Themes message board a few years back and when that question was asked, someone confirmed that the sound is wind.
This opening was designed by Sandy Dvore (including the paint stroke YR logo). He also designed the opening titles of Knots Landing (1987-1989)
I just thought the YR logo was lipstick 💄
A bad design

That reminds me a sketch of the faces by pencil.
Look at my post above as all the characters in this opening are listed in the actual order of appearance.
Oh wow! I love the Y and R interlocking XD!
@lovelyjessie79
I was 1 at the time. I sure miss morning tv from back then. Now there is nothing but crap.
today only Friday 12-30-16
CBS is showing a Y&R episode from 1984. (4/13/84 according to TitanTV)
ir10031981 I know, right? I used to watch it.
I just remembered who Eric is -- Eric Garrison -- and you are right, he is in the sequence with Dina -- not Marc. Thanks for shaking my memory! Plus I mistyped above -- it should read "...at the drawing with this in mind..." not his mind....
0:32 very good opening
@YRfreak101 I think what you mean is the image shown before the Opening starts, I think it was Danny.
Thank you. Good that we see on TH-cam more from soaps because you have to pay now on the Wost site and they no longer accept new members. Besides the "World of Soap Themes" will be closed in 2009.
The year is 1984, Nina didn't begin until 1986.
Can anyone tell me who the characters are, the only ones I know are...3) Eric & Dina, 4) Ashley, 5) Traci, 8) Lauren and I'm guessing the lady before Lauren is Gina and the man after Lauren is Danny, but not sure.
the first one i think is 1)jack and john and 2)is jill 9) is danny it looks that way to me
1989deejay is right -- first two are John and Jack, then Jill -- the girl after Traci is Amy Lewis (played by Stephanie Williams) then after Amy is a young Nina Webster (if you look closely at the drawing with his mind you'll see the resemblance) and yes the last guy is Danny Romalotti.

How does the order go in this opening? I wonder... I only recognize Ashley, Traci, and Jack(then played by Terry Lester). Oh, and Lauren too...
The beginning interruption is that wind?
HEY - I'm on crack -- that is Gina Roma not Nina -- i think i need to take a break from watching TH-cam : ) i just never thought Gina was in the opening credits -- go figure!
Hahaha.. Danny romolotti.. lol... something like that... the singer/rocker.. I remember the fat sister had a crush on him...
