Young And The Restless Spoilers: New Details For Kristoff St. John’s Special Tribute Episode Revealed

“The Young and the Restless” has planned a proper send-off to beloved Kristoff St. John and his character Neil Winters. CBS Daytime has revealed that four scripted episodes will be aired from April 23 to 26, followed by an unscripted episode on April 29.

When Kristoff St. John died on February 3 at the age of 52, “The Young and the Restless” immediately aired a tribute episode to honor him and his character on the soap. However, many fans were not satisfied with how it turned out.

CBS then revealed that “The Young and the Restless” was planning a longer tribute arc to give closure to the character’s disappearance in Genoa City and to honor St. John who had left a legacy in the soap world.
