I only watched Y&R since 1999., so my favorite storyline would be in that period:

Matt Clark/Carter Mills's revenge on Nick and Sharon

and crazy Tricia's storyline...

okay so now that i see this is just Y&R, lol...

Crazy Tricia.

Brad in a Cage.

Laurens Stalker Shawn.

Brad/Laurens affair

Crazy Kevin.

Tricia's crazy behavior

Who shot Victor? Mari Jo did it.

Who tried to kill Matt Clark? Amy did it.

Danny finding out that Daniel is not his son

Phyllis terrorizing Christine

Nina's attempt of suicide

Olivia/Nathan/Keesha

Dru vs Phyllis

Ashley going crazy thinking that her ead baby was still alive (I wish this storyline lasted longer)

Victoria/Ryan love story

Tricia - crazy Tricia (Sabryn was just amazing)/Matt Clark as played by Rick Hearst

Cassie's death although it sucked and still sucks to lose that girl

Phyllis./Jack/Diane triangle

Sabrina/Victor *ducks flying arrows*

Christine/Paul story pre-rape

Kevin when he was most creepy; when he almost killed himself in front of Lauren ... so amazingly acted

Sheila stealing Lauren's baby and the B&B crossovers (man B&B used to be good)

I'd say the Shelia/Lauren fued and the Phyllis/Jack/Diane triangle.

Best:

Victor and Nikki meet and fall in love

Victor/Nikki/Ashley triangle

Jabot/Newman corporate wars

Nikki's substance abuse

Lauren/Sheila rivalry

Who shot Victor

Nikki gets shot and Victor marries her in the hospital

Worst:

Brad in a cage

George Rawlins murder mystery

Kay/Marge

Me and Tammin SureSucks will still have to go with "Palm Springs" ahahahaha - kidding.

I've read a lot of history and liked the idea of the early early stuff. Victor and Nikki back in the day, Kay and Jill, that sort of thing.

I've only seen four episodes with the Brooks sisters, but I'm sure if I ever had a chance to see the show from 1973-1982, all of my favorite stories would be from this time period. I'm dying to see all of the Leslie/Lorie troubles. Also, I saw an episode where Kay was a total bitch. It's sad that Jill takes the blame modernly because she was a total [!@#$%^&*]. Also interesting in this episode is that one of Kay's college friends was convinced that Nikki was her daughter. They could use those scenes in flashbacks if they ever want to prove Nikki is Kay's real daughter.

Of what I have seen, I'd have to say the custody battle for Daniel was my favorite. It was very dramatic and Bill Bell did a great job of building and building until it reached the heartbreaking climax with Phyllis losing custody. Sandra Nelson played Phyllis here and did a flawless job. This was one of Bill Bell's final stories and a fine swan song if you ask me!

Sandra Nelson = LOVE

Any and all stories involving Sheila/Lauren.

Also, I enjoyed most of LML's stories (*ducks*)...excluding Brad's past. Mostly the story with Jana's tumor.

Tonya Lee Williams in the AIDS storyline.

Sandra Nelson as Chris stated in the custody storyline.

Sabryn Genet, Tricia Cast, and Scott Reeves was excellence.

Heather Tom, Scott Reeves, and Sabryn Genet would later prove to be enthralling as well.

Tracey Bregman and Kimberlin Brown Round 1.

Katherine and Jill's many fights. (The best one with Walton being over the estate).

Cassie/Grace/Sharon/Nick

Alex Donnelly's Diane causing trouble.

Victor and Nikki's romance, and MTS growth as an actress over the years.

Jill vs. Mamie.

I also enjoyed when Kevin first appeared on the show, parts of Jill/Kay are mother and daughter, Tuvia vs. Safra, Eileen Davidson in her cancer story and with "baby Robert," and the Cameron Kirsten story (mainly because of the amazing duo which was Nikki/Sharon, especially the sewer scene.)

Co-Sign. I love 90's Y&R. I remember watching it during the summer's because nothing else was on. I vividly remember Victoria and Ryan, Sharon, Nick, and Grace, Phyliss and Danny(I was so sad when Michelle left and Sandra came on), Paul and the Bug, and Neil, Malcom, Dru and Olivia.

Whatever happened to the Jabot break room? I was watching a clip on YouTube when Nina meets Tricia for the first time. I liked it.

This was my absolute favorite storyline of all time:

I have two...

The first, and one of the most brilliant of Bill Bell's career IMO, was the infamous Puzzlegate from the mid 80's. Naughty Jill sleeps with her stepson Jack in front of a roaring fireplace, neither of them aware that someone is snapping photographs of the whole sordid affair. Good ole Kay (or as Jill so acidly called her "bag o' bone") gets her hands on the pics and has one of them turned into a puzzle, and she then proceeds to send the puzzle, one piece at a time over the course of a year or so, to Jill's hubby and Jack's daddy John...

The second is Summer in July back in the mid 80's also...when Victor was finally reunited with his mother and has to come to grips with his painful childhood. His mother Cora was dying of cancer, and she had one last wish--she wanted to spend Christmas with her son. So they shared their last Christmas in July right before she passed away.
