Editing Cold open (section)

===Soap operas===
While several [[soap opera|soaps]] experimented with regular opens in the early 2000s, all U.S. daytime dramas are currently using cold opens.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}} Typically, a soap opera cold open begins where the last scene of the previous episode ended, sometimes replaying the entire last scene. After several scenes – usually, to set up which storylines will be featured in the episode – the opening credits are shown. By contrast, most British soap operas typically begin with regular opens. In Australia, soap opera ''[[Home and Away]]'' briefly used a cold open for a few episodes in 2006.
