The people on the current opening titles aren't past characters from the show, as some people tend to think. 'Unknown' actors were intentially used and the title shots are meant to reflect the various emotions that drive the soap.
I think these ones have been on screen since about 1999 - yes, it's certainly time for a change!

Who are those people on the titles anyway?

I think Emmerdale has one of the freshest title sequences of the soaps. Even though it's been around for five years!
I love the fly in to the village and the fly away on the end credits, and i love the current emmerdale theme music.
I say that the freshest titles are family affairs at the moment as they're always changing, but now they are great with the pans across London and clever mixing and cutting before u get to charnham.
Where as look at Eastenders, the same since day 1, except updated, maybe they could do some new titles, perhaps flying along the river to the east end.
Hollyoaks, the clips change, the music was change in the past few years, yet the style of titles have been used for years.
Coronation Street, it's ok to add more house and a train, but it's still just shot's of houses!

Eastenders did change their titles slightly in the early 90's. They funked up the music and London had a green tinge. However, the world and it's mother complained, so it reverted to how it was.
