Everybody Loves Kristoff!

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Kristoff St. John is taking a quick break from portraying Neil to guest star on an episode of the CW sitcom EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS in which he’ll play… himself! Watch for the fan favorite to appear in a police lineup after he’s mistakenly believed to be the reckless driver who hit Greg (Vincent Martella) with a car. Watch for Chris’ mom, Rochelle, who’s played by former RYAN’S HOPE actress Tichina Arnold (Zena), to enthusiastically request St. John’s autograph after she sees him. (Hey, who wouldn’t?) St. John’s episode of EVERYBODY airs on Friday, March 20, at 8 pm ET.

That's kinda weird, becasue Kristoff was a) much younger, and not really that famous at that point. He'd done a pretty memorable guest spot on The Cosby Show and episodic work before that, but he was years away from Generations/Y&R fame on the Everybody Hates Chris timeline. I hope they give him his '80s fro.

He's gonna have to shave the soul patch and Just For Men the salt-and-pepper from his hair in order to recapture 80s Neil!

Or perhaps Rochelle is a Generations fan? It's her hubby who watches Y&R.

On the original 90210, Brandon's boss at the country club would watch Y&R. He would constantly tell Brandon not to bother him between 11:30 & 12:30, when he faithfully watched.

We had a thread not so long ago about this, but I've always wondered what soaps did Darren Star watch.

And Charles Pratt Jr.

Jeff Greenstein wrote an episode The Young and the Tactless for Will & Grace (season 3).
