Mia St. John Sets Record Straight On Report About Y&R's Kristoff St. John As "Fabricated Information" And That "An Incident Occurred"

The ex-wife of The Young and the Restless, Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters) made an official statement to ET following an item from TMZ on Sunday that said that the Daytime Emmy-winning actor had allegedly threatened to kill himself with a gun after allegedly sending photos to her, and was hospitalized and placed under psychiatric evaluation.

Mia St. John, revealed that these reports are “inaccurate”, but that an “incident” did occur.  All of this is happening as the 3rd year anniversary of the death of their son, Julian, approaches in November. As Mia relates the talented fan favorite actor’s heart is “broken”, because of it.

In her statement, Mia expressed: “I want the world to know the truth about what is happening with Kristoff, because currently there is inaccurate, and fabricated information being reported by certain online outlets. No parent should ever have to bury their child, and for those who do, it is a nightmare that haunts you forever. The death of our beloved son Julian, has taken a toll on both of us. He is an actor and while he may appear whole on the outside, his heart is broken. As a society we need to start taking mental health seriously and realize that no one is immune. Last week, an incident occurred, that pushed him to the breaking point, but was not accurately reported. I hope that at this moment we can all wrap our arms around Kristoff and help him in this time of need. Help him heal and move forward. This is not a ‘gossip’ story, or an interesting headline, this is a man trying to deal with a tragedy, that has torn apart his soul. Right now what he needs is your thoughts and prayers.”

Share your thoughts on Mia’s statement in the comment section below, as we keep Kristoff in our hearts, thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

Dear God please help them. In my thoughts & prayers. Keep him in your love & heal his Heart. We are only human.

Let’s hope this gentleman and his family find peace and let us ,please,allow this to be a private matter for them.

Thought’s and prayers continue for you Kristoff…I know 2 people who have lost their children and I know it’s something a parent never get’s over…Again, hold on to GOD’s hand and know that GOD loves you and your family, friends and fans love you so much…Also know that your son in in HEAVEN and that he is doing fine and you will see him again one day…GOD BLESS you Kristoff and all the rest of your family…

I think she’s spot on. It doesn’t matter what Kristoff did or din’t do. What matters is that he’s hurting and needs positive, loving help. I can’t imagine the pain he must be experiencing since his son passed away.

He has given so much to the soap community over the years. It is only fitting that we support him and send our best wishes, thoughts and prayers toward him.

God bless you, Kristoff; you and your family.

No one can imagine, Rodd, unless one has gone through the unbearable pain. It lives within you….never out of one’s thoughts.
I know what Kristoff is going through. All I can say is to put one foot in front of the other and take comfort in the fact his son is in good hands.
I have my crying spells when that wistful feeling overtakes me, but, I do know my baby is with God’s little angels, playing happily…pain free.
Thinking of you, Kristoff. I know these are just words…..be strong!!

My prayers are with you and your family and Mr St John. I pray that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will cover him and that the joy of the Lord will be a stress. It takes much strength. I embrace you as a woman for your coverage your strength and your compassion for the mental health issue that you are raising

Shame on these media vipers!! They don’t care who they hurt. Prayers for Kristoff and for you Mia. So sorry for your loss

So so sad. I don’t watch Yand R but my heart breaks for him and he will be in my prayers.

Take care of yourself Kristoff.

I too, lost my son. He was 25 years old. This was 19 years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your feelings of helplessness are real, BUT I can promise you that it will be different as time goes on. You are so loved by so many, with so many reasons to live. If you give up, too many others are going to say, “me too”. No one can tell you when your grief will become bearable, but I know that I try to live each day making my son proud of his mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with kristoff at this difficult time. May God wrap his arms around him and ease his and your broken heart. I am sorry people can not report the correct news. That adds more stress to everyone involved. He is a wonderful actor but as a fan I knew in my heart he was suffering. All my love to you both.

As a viewer and fan of Y&R sinc 1984, Kristoff has been one of my favorites since he hit the canvas. With that being said, my heart goes out to him and his family during this difficult time. No parent should bury their child. I can’t even begin to imagine what thoughts must be going through his mind right. It’s disgusting what the tabloids will say to sell a paper. I am hoping Kristoff can find strength and healing through this most personal of times

My thoughts and prayers our with you Kristoff and family. My heart goes out to you and your family, I myself lost a son almost 12 years ago and im now raising his 3 children and have been for 12 years. The oain never goes away and seeking help is so important because it is beyond ourselves to deal with such a tradegy. May God be with you.

I am praying for you. I have watched Y and R for the entire time that it has been broadcasting so I can say that you are like a family member. My prayers go out to you because I have lost a child. It’s a pain like none other and it never goes away but it is one that you learn to cope with. My son’s birthday and the anniversary of his death are within 2 weeks of each other. His birth date is Oct. 27 and he passed on Nov.10. I pray that God heals you and fills the void. Only He can as our Creator. He is Who I cling to in my time of grief. He’s the One Who wired us so He is the Only One Who can repair and make us whole again. Lean on Him and you will be okay.

Hi

I lost a brother Charlie 9 year ago he was 52 . It was a shock to the family and across the Art community. I was very close and I still miss him. But I went the next week and bought a puppy for the family to help us get through this. I have been watching Y and R since 18 to talk to kids at school. Your a great actor and hope your back soon. Love seeing you with Lily. Take one day at a time. Be possitive. Takecare thoughts are with you.

Prayers for Kristoff and the whole St. John family!!

I hate that the media horns in on the privacy of actors and actresses only to get a story.I can’t imagine losing one of my children and i know the grief is unbearable.I do understand the hopelessness that he’s going through. I once was at a point in my life where I would beg God to kill me and get me out of my misery.But God had bigger plans for my life.God also has plans for Krisoff oh the testimony he will have for others going through what’s y’all are going through.I am praying God gives him peace and hope.Remember God will never leave you where you are.Just when you think you can’t take anymore is when God shows up.

Kristoff St John and his family are in my thoughts and prayers

My heart and prayers go out to the family. We know their son wants them to live life fully why don’t we allow them to grieve while they figure out how to move on. The world is praying and sending good thoughts to you.

Sooo sorry for your loss, Praying that the Lord God Almighty will give you all what you need to make it though these times. Take it one day at a time He has you in the palm of His hands. You are a Awesome man yes you are one day you will be able to help someone else.
Remember you are Loved.

Praying for you. Sending Hugs I don’t know what it’s like to lose a child but I have lost both my parents and it hurts everyday. Prayers for all.

I think that Mia said it all perfectly, and with so much poise and grace. My brother just lost his daughter 2 months ago in a car crash, and he, along with the rest of our family, is suffering unbearably. My heart goes out to Mia and Kristoff, and their loved ones. No parent should ever have to bury their child. It is something that

Never goes away. I pray for comfort and strength in hopes that it will become bearable in some way. We love you, Kristoff!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family..losing a loved one is devastating in itself, but I cannot begin to comprehend the pain of losing a child..in any capacity…The GOD I serve is a “Mender of Broken Hearts”… Please let HIM heal yours…

I totally agree with Mia. My thoughts & prayers are with them both.

Praying for you and your x wife. You cant fo this without putting it in Gods hands. He will give you the strength.

There should be no stigma for those who suffer. Jesus sat with the afflicted, with those who were suffering. I hate how we demonize or friends and family members when they are challenged with issues of mental health.

I am so moved by the warm wishes expressed by others here. I feel great sadness for those who lost a child. In the sixth grade my best friend lost his sister unexpectedly. It was a pain that never really left. And the anniversaries were reminders just as much as birthdays and holidays. The entire family was devastated. I learned so much from them. I learned that love had other dimensions and loss could be endless

Sincere wishes for peace and healing to all.

I really hope Kristoff is doing better now. Hope he’s back and fully recovered.

Pray for healing and restoration for you all. God is in control.

I didn’t take it as a gossip piece n had heartfelt sympathy for his n moms loss n know first hand for 19yrs Angel Anniversaries SUCK n three years you’re so new to the raw pain of those days leading up to n EVERY day in between n I’m lifting you guys up in light to get through these days one day at a time…. N every grief path is different LOVE N HUGS

Prayers sent

Dearest Kristoff,

I remember watching you as a young child in “That’s My Mama” on TV and from your first Y&R appearance.

I am sure that Julian is with his Heavenly Father and also with you in spirit and love. Now please receive the love and prayers from all of us as we embrace you and lift you up.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
