The Young And The Restless Updates – Talks About Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters)

When Kristoff St. John passed away in 2019, the Y&R viewers were so happy that the soap opera included her in the tribute to the beloved actor. Many assumed her personal issues with the management would prevent her from being a part of the show. But the writers/producers looked past her outspoken comments about the diversity on the show to welcome her and her importance to Neil Winters’s legacy on Y&R.

“I will simply say because it is now something has come and gone that Kristoff is fondly remembered, beloved by his fans, and will always be a part of the success and legacy of The Young and the Restless. I was blessed to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing human being and fabulous actor,” Victoria Rowell shared.

While talking about Y&R, Rowell explained that she fought hard for Devon Hamilton’s (Bryton James) foster storyline. She wanted to show what foster children go through, even when they find they’re forever home. It’s a battle, and they risk giving their birth parents many chances, often disappointed that their parents cannot be the people they need them to be.
