“Young & the Restless” will address St. John’s passing starting on April 23 with the news that Neil has unexpectedly died, beginning a week-long farewell to the actor and character. Shemar Moore, who played his brother Malcolm Winters on and off for two decades, will reprise that role for two episodes on April 25 and 26. Then on April 29 his former co-stars Victoria Rowell and Mishael Morgan return to the show as themselves for a special episode in which the “Young & the Restless” cast will share their memories of the actor.
“Young & the Restless” executive producer Anthony Morina told Entertainment Weekly, “Our hope is that this storyline and tribute episode airing in April will honor the legendary character Kristoff helped create, and provide our audience with the opportunity to say a meaningful goodbye to Neil Winters.”
