New Young and the Restless comings and goings indicate Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) will be back in Genoa City sooner rather than later. That’s because she will be taking part in a very special tribute to late actor Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters).
According to reports, the actress herself has confirmed that she will be back on The Young and the Restless for the Monday, April 29 episode on CBS. The tribute episode is very important to her, because she and St.John were very good friends before his untimely death.
Young And The Restless News – Davidson Cleared Her Schedule For Tribute
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in an interview, Davidson said that she made sure to clear her schedule for the episode.
“When I was initially contacted by ‘Y&R’ it was only supposed to be for a quick visit, but after Kristoff St. John’s passing, the show asked if I would participate in their plans to honor both Neil and Kristoff,” Davidson explained. “Luckily, I was available, and I am honored to be included in those shows.”

In addition to Eileen Davidson, several other Young and the Restless alums will also be returning for the tribute episode. They include Mishael Morgan (Hilary Curtis Winters), Victoria Rowell (Drucilla Wanters), along with Christel Khalil (Lily Winters) and Jess Walton (Jill Abbott).
Young And The Restless News – Is This In Response To Previous Tribute?
So far, Y&R producers have not made any additional comments about the tribute special. Many believe the special might be in response to another tribute and dedication that was aired for St. John back in February. That tribute only showed the late actor in a series of throwback scenes for a few short minutes and fans were not pleased.

YES!! I have question for other viewers. Is Mark Grossman the 1st adult Adam? If so he knows the history of the character. I remember hearing at the time he left it was because the CHARACTER Adam was to kiss his then attorney. If this is the same actor?
