The daytime TV community was shocked in February upon the announcement that actor Kristoff St. John had died at the age of 52. Now Entertainment Weekly has exclusively reported that “The Young and the Restless” will officially say its goodbyes to its longtime cast member in April with the help of some of his former co-stars.
St. John played businessman Neil Winters on “Y&R” from 1991 until his death, which made him the longest running black character in the show’s history. He also had a historic run at the Daytime Emmys. Counting his prior role in the short-lived soap opera “Generations,” he earned 11 nominations, winning twice for “Y&R”: Best Younger Actor in 1992 and Best Supporting Actor in 2008. Most recently he earned a pair of bids for Best Actor (2016-2017), which made him one of the few actors ever to receive nominations at all three levels: younger, supporting and lead.
