Three different, and somewhat difficult, sequence puzzles


Here are three different letter/number sequences. Try to solve as many as possible. The spoilers give hints to each sequence in the form of how many elements are in the corresponding sequence.


Sequence 1 (Missing Elements: 2) [Solved by xnor]



Y, Y, ?, L, Y, E, ?, T, R...


There are 12 elements in this sequence.



Sequence 2 (Missing Elements: 2) [Solved by Tryth]


a, H, R, 0, c, ?, o, ?, L, 3, B...


There are 44 elements in this sequence.




Sequence 3 (Missing Elements: 3) [Solved by finsternis]


?, P, C, P, C, ?, B, R, B, R, ?, R, S, R, S, R...


There are 29 elements in this sequence.



The first one is quite simple but the other two are fairly challenging. Good luck!



Answer



Sequence 3:




Order of speakers in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Act I, Scene ii:
Capulet, Paris, Capulet, ...
The full sequence is C, P, C, P, C, S, B, R, B, R, B, R, S, R, S, R, S, R, S, R, S, R, S, R, S, B, R, B, R
and the missing elements are C, S, and B. (S = Peter the servant)
