December 21, 2020
There were two parts to 2020: a seemingly ''normal'' part that we've witness for more than 11,000 episodes, and a new ''normal'' that came as a result of real-world drama. Our beloved soap returned with our favorite stories shown in a unique and creative way. Passion was conveyed between couples through seductive looks and flirty smiles, shadows replaced the familiar intertwining of couples, and engagements happened with no touching and no smooching. But what remained the same is that there were highs and lows in 2020, and it's time to name them in part one of the Best and Worst of Y&R 2020.

It's time to have a look at the blisses and the misses in the Best and Worst of The Young and the Restless 2020, Part Two.
