OMFG this is truly heartbreaking. RIP Kristoff St. John and thank you for your wonderful portrayal of Neil Winters for many many years. You will be missed dearly. Much condolences to his family and friends. 

 

Amongst all the sadness, this made me smile a bit.

 

Thank you.

I feel like I've lost a close relative. Everyone around here knows how much I love the Winters family. They brought me to Y&R and other daytime soaps when I was child. I only remain connected to the genre because of that family and those actors who portray them. 

 

I pray for his family and friends. He seems to have been struggling for a while now but now he's at peace.

Oh NO!   So sad to hear.  He's always been one of my favorites on Y&R.  Depression is such a cruel illness. He is now at peace.  Y&R will be missing a true star and I believe he was a good man.  I think he never got over his son's death (from suicide) .   Now that this has happened, I'm wondering if his absence of late from Y&R  was due to him taking another leave due to his mental health.   Y&R better play a great tribute to this man.  I bet Shemar Moore(ex-Malcolm), Tonya Lee Williams (ex-Olivia), Debbi Morgan (ex-Harmony),  and Victoria Rowell (ex-Dru) will all gladly return for a tribute episode. Rest In Peace  Kristoff St. John.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it posted online. I'm shocked and heartbroken! Such a nice, sweet and energetic man. I've said this before and I'll say it again, that when I interned at Y&R, Kristoff was by far the nicest, friendliest, most accommodating and inviting cast member of everyone there. He made everyone feel welcome, from the very top all the way down to the unpaid interns. He and Shemar were my favorites but Kristoff was just very genuine. I'm so sorry to hear of this and can only imagine his personal demons he has been struggling with these past couple years.

    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
