The 1-20-98 issue of SOD did a special section on what they considered the most shocking twists ever for each soap on the air at the time, here's what they covered:

AMC: Janet throws Natalie down a well, 1991

I didn't expect to see the Tyrone/Y&R in there. Thanks for sharing!

And one year later, they could fill up another Top Ten list, and all examples would be from 1998! 1998 was a wacky over-the-top year for almost every soap.

I never understood why this was on the list. Something like that disastrous Angela story was more suitable.

I'm looking for the 1998 issues which SOD did a section on each show's best storyline and worst storyline. I recall they chose that one for B&B's worst.
