“The Young and the Restless” star Eric Braeden (Victor) is remembering his friend and co-star Kristoff St. John who played Neil Winters on the popular soap for over 25 years. Braden spoke with Extra about St. John who passed away on Sunday, February 4.
“He lived kind of a double life,” Braeden said about St. John’s pain over losing his son Julian who committed suicide 4 years ago. “He suppressed that pain, enormous pain and anger with the institution where Julian was where he died, and he came to work and ‘the show must go on,’ as you say — you just change gears and say, ‘Okay, let’s go,’ and everything personal that bothers you comes to the fore later on.”
CBS announced that Kristoff St. John’s final episode of The Young and the Restless” will air Wednesday, February 6 at 12:30 p.m./11:30 p.m./C.
The show will air a special tribute to Kristoff during the show on Friday, February. 8.
