\'Hollyoaks\' opening sequence revamped
 

Channel 4's Chester-based soap Hollyoaks is to unveil a new opening title sequence later this month - as most of the characters in the existing format are either dead or have left the show.

Designed by in-house graphic designer Simon Cox and composer Steve Wrightto, the new credits showcase the programme's sexy image and will be complemented by a re-worked theme tune with a 'contemporary twist', thanks to students at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.

Out of those involved at the institute, producers chose Mark Beaney's version of the well-known sting.

Of the re-worked credits, producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "I’m delighted with our new titles; they reflect the show perfectly and will appeal directly to our viewers.

"We’ve got the best-looking cast on TV and now our titles echo that – young, glamorous and sexy!"

The new titles will first air on Friday, February 23 on E4 at 7pm.

Woo i was hoping they would have a new opening sequence soon!

I read this earlier. Can't wait to see them.

Woo.

I remember the old openeing titles. With the film strip.

Thanks for the Info Mel

i cant wait to see what they are like

Well its about time.

Finally, i'm loking forward to seeing the new titles, most of the people are gone on dead on the ones we have now, so time for new ones, i'm just hoping they kept the song well the theme.

Oooh about time! The old ones are well old :laugh:

They've had the same ones for ages.Dead people are still in it and Russ still has long hair :laugh:

Heres a look at what it could look like

Lmao :hugesmile: They really shouldn't include the characters in them. Cause in a few years time, they'll just be moaning that there out of date again. They should do what other soaps do like EE or CR and just show the settings or something.

LMAO!!! It looks stupid
It's like a cheesy pop video

I agree with Markuss, but its Hollyoaks they want to be differnt lol.

Its about they got new ones anyway.

Those titles look well cheesy! But better than having dead people in the titles!

Ouch! Those titles look like a Kylie Minoge video.

They might get some getting used to. I suppose they reflect the Hollyoaks really is a Teen soap.

Yeah theres 7 dead people in the current titles if i'm right and 2 people who have left.

They look good. It is a teen soap though innit.

Jessica looks great!

Reminder you can see them on e4 at 7:00pm tonight!

It wasn't any different.... :conf:

awwww I missed it I will see it eventually I guess but it is about time I mean it is like beyond old now!!

You didn't miss anything it wasn't shown tonight :shocked:

They must be keeping it for the C4 show. Im a bit dissapointed, i was looking forward to it.

Well I found it odd theu would start it on a Friday tbh. My guess is it will be Monday but who knows :shrug:

Oh! I was gutted. I was looking forward to seeing the new ones:laugh:

i was so looking forward to seeing them. i was sure they would be today.
