Moses Comes Home For Thanksgiving On Y&R; Dax Randall Takes Over The Role Of Neil's Son!
Courtesy/CBS
Thanksgiving is time for your favorite soap opera families to gather round the table, and gather together for a turkey feast, and to make us at home all sentimental. This Turkey Day on The Young and the Restless, Neil’s (Kristoff St. John) young son, Moses is back in Genoa City!
This time the role will be played by child actor Dax Randall. Look for him on the Tuesday, November 22nd episode of the CBS sudser.
As Y&R fans know, Moses is the bio-son of Sofia (Julia Pace Mitchell) and Neil. In story, Moses will be in Genoa City this holidays hanging out with his dad, without mom in tow.
No word yet as to whether Moses will stick around with the Winters/Ashby clan for Christmas, but it would be nice for Neil to get some on-screen family time with his son.
So, should Y&R keep Moses on the canvas now? Do you think the show will ultimately SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) him sooner than later? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
unless he’s going to act like little damien from the exorcist not news not excited lol..no seriously..
Hater
But a funny hater.
Good to see Neil again. Give this man a good story and a worthy love interest.
I agree
I would love to see Neil in love. He is long overdue for a good story and a good woman. Especially after the crap he went through with Devon and Hilary. Not to mention his mother. He needs to be doing more than just babysitting his grandchildren. He is to talented to be seen coloring. Let this talented actor use his gift
If they aged Moses, they’d have to age Matty and her twin, can’t think of his name, and I like the actors who play Lily and Cane’s twins so I say no to aging Moses.
Yep–don’t age Moses unless he spends the night on a mountain top and comes down from it with a stone tablet in his hand.
That’s good. I had actually forgotten about Moses. LOL. He’s rarely mentioned.
That’s really nice, glad Neil gets to his child every once in a while.
Summer is gone and I am not looking forward to Winter[s]
Hey, Timmmy. It seems your sardonic, witty joke went over someone’s head. LOL. I thought it was very clever of you. More, please!!
I knew you would get it. Sweet, smart and god in your heart, what else could you ask for!
Awwwwww!! Thank you Timmmy, my love. As my husband would say: “Your wit is my command”.
His sense of humor is much like yours.
Remember the time when soaps had those rare characters with special witty retorts for comic relief? Richard Burgi had that gift….but, ‘they’ got rid of him. Roger Howarth had the IT factor as Todd….and, so did Trevor. Now, Roger as Franco has turned the corner. He is not fun anymore; you know, not the same with Elizabeth. I know Nina is not an embraceable character….but, golly gee, Timmmy, Elizabeth just brings me down, down, down….it ‘kinda’ trickles dooown to Franco.
Another is John Aniston (Days’ Victor). They have, indeed, become a rare breed.
Jude is the man!
I wish Richard Burgi was written different. Y&R should hire him to butt heads with Victor. When you get two good actors together, its magic! Remember how good Ray Wise was with Eric Braeden!
The whole Liz and Franco thing is a disaster!
They have tried every which way to fit Michelle Stafford into the show. Its a bust!
Yes, Celia, they’ve stripped Roger of his wicked, offbeat humor, the same way they’ve tried to bury Billy Miller’s normally ebullient personality. Sam, too (Kelly Monaco was actually bright and charming on DANCING WITH THE STARS). But we still have our dear Jane Elliott and Tracy’s barbs. And I always get a few giggles when Dr. Finn and Liesl go at it and the twice-a-year treat of seeing Brad. But that’s about it in the fun department.
Oh, Timmm, thank you for echoing my sentiments. That airhead turned savvy businesswoman overnight has the nerve to lecture about family and Sharon’s sins when she JUST threw her whole family under the bus to marry that strutting peacock
Luca? Kettle, meet Pot! I welcome more “Winter (s)” over Summer also.
I agree with both you and Timmm. Billy, Roger and Michelle are unrecognizable. Where did they go?
Yes, Jane, Eric, Ray….all exellent foils and buffers.
And, I do enjoy the on-going cold war between Liesl and Finn….it would be complete if Faison were to return.
I just love him. His weirdness is like no other’s.
Is Summer gone? I’m a few episodes behind. LOL
No.
Hunter King is on recurring as she is also doing the sitcom “Life In Pieces”.
Speaking of long lost children when are they ever going to mention Victoria’s first born son REED again—-Right now they are portraying her as this paragon of motherhood, but she hasn’t even mentioned him in so long it is laughable—- but truth be told on soaps children are rarely used properly– there are exceptions– they have a little gem in the girl who plays Faith- but normally, once they are out of diapers you rarely see the kids until they are SORAS to be rebellious teens.
They are waiting until he can come back as a bratty 16 year old..lol.I’m shocked Faith is not 21 yet. Summer was born a couple of years after Cassie died, so she should be about 17years younger then Mariah. She is more like 4 years younger. do they think we don’t noticed these things!!
Remember how hysterical she was when he left. They use to have scenes where Victoria would video chat with him, or oncemin a while he would be playing video gaames with Billy. Now it seems like he’s gone with the wind
I think it’s hard enough to have good story for characters actually on-screen, so those that are not get left out, which I understand even if I don’t always like it.
Oh, yeah, Mary….as I said, these writers ( of soaps in general) give mothers a bad name.
Another ” great” character with maternal instincts is Chelsea.
Having handed Johnny, her firstborn ( as far as we know….she is probably in the habit of giving birth and then giving the babies away), to Billy and Victoria is one thing. But, never seeking a stolen look or moment with Johnny? Shouldn’t there be an emotional pull there somewhere? I don’t know….it’s a soap., I guess. It boggles the mind how some of these women are portrayed as airheads with needle in hand; literally.
It’s just weird….Chelsea is so consumed with Christian and everything ‘Nick’, she forgets Connor. Where is he? Playing with Bella alone in the penthouse, while their mothers are gallivanting around town?
These writers need a shake-down.
Chelsea hasn’t raised Johnny. To her, he is Victoria and Billy’s son.
They do mention Connor, but you can’t have a kid hanging around in every scene just to satisfy some viewers.
Yes and lets all remember Victoria lost that child due to dear old dad gosh Sally & Kay have their work cut out for them to get back to character devlopment
@Mo.
Well, Mo, I disagree. Your opinion is not mine. ….. it makes no difference that Chelsea gave her son away. Only an insensitive, unfeeling, self-centered, woman/mother lacks the instinct to see HER son, the kid in which she bore. But, I guess you forgot how Chelsea came to be….
Then, again, it’s a soap.
And, yes, viewers should be satisfied….now, now Mo. Be nice.
Hope they recast Dillion and bring back Phillis sister and she have a baby that turn out to be his would serve Sharon right and I am glad they are bringing back Neil’s son and they need someone for him
Who is Dillion?
I guess you Dylan. I was thinking you were talking about a kid.
Hey, Hattie,
That sounds like a perfect ending, doesn’t it? I agree with you. Avery and Dylan were great together.
Pregnancies seem to be favorite plot devices but writers then are saddled with the children and then what? Either integrate them into the story with some genuine story lines about parenting and family… or please, just don’t have them! SORASing is not a good option in many cases as it only adds to the incredulity of future characters’ situations.
bring Aunt Liv back for the holidays at least and back in neils life!
With sally back as headwriter a jack/ liv/ neil triangle would be a real heavy meaty story with three legacy characters and a nice nod to john / aunt mamies affair years ago
a interacial love is what y n r needs right now to do a socially current story on daytime
all three players have history together
ofcourse to really make this a quadrangle would be for sally to make a drucilla comeback possible!!
Who was Aunt LIv
Aunt Liv is Drucilla’s sister, played by Tonya Williams.
Good call!! I can see that happening. That would really throw Phyllis for a loop
Please bring back Victoria Rowell they need to fix that story line. They just left us hanging after Durcilla fell over the cliff. Please bring her back. Her story line was awesome.
Victoria Rowell is suing CBS / SONY so I don’t think she will be returning anytime ! Unfortunate cause I really liked her character!
Agreed, Tammy. Victoria is one in a million, as an actress. When she spoke, we listened. She had that certain air and magnetism that simply drew attention. Love her still.
I guess you haven’t heard, Linda. Backlash, disputes, and back stage drama. Ahhh, to be a fly on the wall!!
Yes, I think the drama that would come with Victoria Rowell would not make CBS want to hire her. I would like to see her on Y&R (wasn’t watching when she was on before), but again, the other stuff that she brings would not be wanted. I’m sure if Y&R offered her a job, she might drop her lawsuit.
She is getting other acting jobs so she can’t be that bad to work with. I just wonder what really went down when she was at Y&R.
Rowell is locked up with Patty Williams!
I am curious about sully’s bio mom. What happened to her? I missed that part.
Sully doesn’t exist.
Christian’s mother Sage died in a car crash.
Sage, is the name
Hi Sami,
Sage had just found out (At Sharon’s) that Sully was really Christian. She left Sharon’s in a really ‘bad’ way, to tell Nick. Unfortunately she was involved in a car accident and died. The secret of the true baby’s identity dying with her.
The secret didn’t die with her as Sharon and Patty knew.
@Mo.
Obviously. You know exactly what I meant, Mo. Must you rebuke everything I , and everyone else says?
As far as Sharon knew, the secret did die with Sage. We knew otherwise.
The other person who knows is the infamous nurse!
Go ahead. You have the floor.
Happy Thanksgiving.
That is so true. If you can remember back to when Nick and Victoria were kids. At a point they were small around 5&6. Then maybe a couple years later. They both were coming back from boarding school.
Well, that was pretty much for naught. They could have had a doll playing Moses. As soon as he arrived, he got shipped off to the other room. We saw him again at CL, but I’m sure he’ll be in the back soon because how can a baby help dish out food?

‘General Hospital’s’ Braedyn Bruner Reveals Her Daytime Emmy-Nominated Scenes and How Emma is Getting Her ‘Edge’ Back
The 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards are now just a little over a month and a half away, and General Hospital’s Braedyn Bruner picked up her first nomination for her performances as Emma Drake.
Braedyn received a nod in the Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series category along with: Al Calderon (ex-Javi, DAYS) Alice Halsey (ex-Rachel, DAYS) Giovanni Mazza (Gio, GH) Ambyr Michelle (Eva, BTG) and Arielle Prepetit (Naomi, BTG). The winner will be announced in a ceremony held on October 30 in Hollywood, California.
Now, for the first time, Bruner spoke about what she chose to put on her nominated reel that landed her a chance to go for gold. The 25-year-old actress discussed it when she appeared on an all-new episode of the That’s Awesome with Steve Burton (Jason, GH) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli, GH), that dropped this Sunday, September 6.
In speaking of her nominated work, Bruner shared how she went about approaching submitting her reel, which was a conglomeration of scenes from the eligibility year and her first on GH. “The first two scenes on my reel are with Anna (Finola Hughes). The first one is in her office after she arrests Emma at the Quartermaine crypt,” explained Braedyn to her GH co-stars. “I felt like, for me as an actor, that was the first time I understood this character really well. I felt like I had become her in some sort of way, and the things that she stands for and she is willing to fight for.”

Bruner continued, “I also love doing scenes with Finola Hughes. The second scene is with Anna also, sort of a similar setting, but a different time of the year, but it was a scene about what Emma stands for, and how much she wants to be like her grandmother, and how influential and important she is to her. I also had included scenes with Gio as well from the post-Nurses’ Ball fallout. We had a lot of wonderful things that I got to choose from.”
Reflecting on now being on the legendary ABC soap opera for a year and a half, Braedyn told Steve and Bradford, “It’s so crazy looking back on where I started, to where I am now, and I think, I’m so grateful for this job. All I ever wanted to do is to tell stories, and even just saying that I have an Emmy nomination is crazy, because that just feels like a great bonus and such an honor. So, that’s really, really cool.”
Since coming to GH, Braedyn said she felt support all along the way behind the scenes. “I love the relationships that I formed on this show,” she shared. “I always tell people that when they ask me what is it like working on General Hospital, I just always say that I’ve truly never been on a set where every person that you encounter is a joy to be around, helpful and kind and supportive. and wants you to succeed.”

As for what’s ahead for Emma, viewers know that music executive Simon (Grady Eldridge) has been asking Emma’s boyfriend Gio and her friend and his musical partner, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) to play up a “relationship” when they are on stage performing to help sell them as a recording and performing duo, which may cause problems for Emma in the very near future.
“I love that she’s (Emma) getting her edge back,” confirmed Bruner. “I feel like there had been a period where I was just being really cordial and kind. And that’s fun, but I missed the kind of attitude that she had when she came on the show as this animal rights activist and fighting for justice. I missed that. So, I’ve been really enjoying what we are shooting now. ”
You can check out Braedyn’s guest appearance on the That’s Awesome podcast below.
Now let us know, what do you think about Braedyn’s choices for her Emmy scenes that landed her an Emerging Talent nomination? Do you want Emma to have her edge back? Do you think that Gio and Trina might actually wind up together and Emma will be the one left out in the cold? Stay tuned and weigh-in via the comment section.
Vivica A. Fox has wrapped her most recent run as Dr. Stephanie Simmons on CBS daytime’s The Young and the Restless with news directly from the actress herself.
Fox, who initially returned after more than 30 years away along with Shemar Moore (Malcolm Winters) in April of 2026, but stayed on longer than had been anticipated, is now off on another project.
In a new video clip posted to her Instagram Story (which has since expired), the actress received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her Y&R glam squad as she said her “goodbyes” for now to the cast and the hair and make-up departments.

Turns out, Vivica is headed to Shelter Island near the Hamptons in New York for her role in the Netflix film Women Like Us, which is executive produced by the former White House First Lady, Michelle Obama. The Netflix project is said to be filming in that location from September 1 through October 1.
‘WOMEN LIKE US’ CAST
In story, Women Like Us is about a recently widowed woman whose sister and lifelong friends bring her to the Hamptons on her 30th wedding anniversary. According to the production team the film is, “an emotional journey of healing and sisterhood.” The View’s Whoopi Goldberg, Vanessa Williams and Jenifer Lewis round out the main cast.
UNTIL NEXT TIME Y&R FAMILY
In her IG story, Fox shared about her departure from Genoa City, “Hey there, darlings. It’s your girl, Vivica. I’m going to be be going away for a couple of months to do my new film, Women Like Us. But today, when I came to work… my beautiful glam squad with their fabulous self—Jerry, Orlando, Justin—got me these beautiful flowers to send me off from Young and the Restless. This was supposed to be just eight shows and it turned into six months.”
Next, Fox turned to her glam squad and expressed, “I love you guys. I’m going to miss you.” She then shared a message to the Y&R fans, “And all I can say to you Y&R family out there, I’ll see you soon.”

WHAT ABOUT NATE AND STEPHANIE’S ROMANCE?
The timing is interesting for Fox’s exit, given the soap opera recently paired Dr. Nate Hastings (Daytime Emmy nominee Sean Dominic) with Dr. Stephanie Simmons in a burgeoning romance. In addition, Stephanie is currently is the Chief of Staff at Genoa City Memorial Hospital.
So, someone will need to take over the Chief of Staff position in an interim manner, wouldn’t you say? Will Nate and Stephanie call it quits before things really took off? Stay tuned! Given Y&R tapes usually about six weeks ahead of air, viewers will have to tune-in to see how Fox wraps her current run.
So, what have you thought of the pairing of Nate and Stephanie on The Young and the Restless? Do you hope Vivica comes back to Y&R sooner than later? Excited to see the film she will be featured in ‘Women Like Us’ when it comes out hopefully in 2027? Let us know via the comment section below.
