[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 444352, member: 19949"] As for season 1 (or miniseries), my order would be: Jim Davis Barbara Bel Geddes Larry Hagman Patrick Duffy Victoria Principal Charlene Tilton From then on, I would have handled it the way Grey's Anatomy still does today: newcomers are listed last and move up over the years as veteran actors leave the show. That way, actors whose names appear early in the alphabet—like Morgan Brittany and John Beck—would have had the chance to move up in the opening credits. As for the returning actors, I would do the same thing as in Grey's Anatomy and place them back where they were before, so in season 12 Charlene Tilton between Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray. In season 13, I always found it odd to see Kimberly Foster and Lesley-Anne Down listed before Larry Hagman in the opening credits. Perhaps the new title sequence would have had more flair if the new cast members had been placed at the end. Season 13 might have been the right time to feature actors in the opening credits for only a short stint—like on Dynasty—such as Michael Wilding or Gayle Hunnicutt as well as Susan Lucci and Barbara Eden in season 14.
