Members Khan Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 What can I say that hasn't been said already? This is a terrible, tragic loss -- for Y&R, for its' cast and crew, for its' fans and for everyone who knew and loved him. No matter how I felt about Neil Winters or KSJ, I never denied the impact both made on viewers, and on African-American viewers in particular. Like everyone else, I'm praying that his soul is at peace, and that he has been reunited with his beloved son. I think that had to be the toughest part about his ordeal -- not just losing his child, which is devastating in and of itself, but the fact that he had to grieve for that loss in public. I realize this might be too soon, but I think Y&R would be foolish to recast or kill off Neil, especially in light of today's news. When Brenda Benet (ex-Lee, DAYS) committed suicide, the writers wisely wrote her character out of Salem and had her leave a note to Renee explaining her abrupt departure. Y&R should do the same for Neil: just have him leave town for some reason, with others explaining he's starting a new life away from GC. Just keep that character alive, but offscreen.

Members Graham Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 I had to do a double take when I first saw the news trending on Twitter. Like, wow. He was a magnificent actor. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 It's strange, but it feels as if we're losing more and more of this once-great show (and genre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 It's not strange at all. I feel it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 I don't think KSJ committed suicide. It's definitely too soon but since you brought it up I disagree on your stance. KSJ and Neil deserve a story exit. He's meant too much to the show and fans over the years. Let the fans mourn the character through story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 Viola Please register in order to view this content is love. I agree that his death should be addressed with Neil passing. We're living in a different time than the DAYS of Brenda Benet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah, he needs a send-off definitely. This outpouring demands at least that. The tributes are very inspiring. Sometimes tributes veer into the hagiographic, but these feel absolutely genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted February 4, 2019 Members Share Posted February 4, 2019 I don't even remember Y&R without him as Neil. He was so talented. I loved him and his character. This is heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
