On Friday’s episode of The Young and the Restless, friends and loved ones take a stroll through Genoa City remembering the life and times of Neil Winters, played by the late, great, Kristoff St. John.

Look for Neil’s children: Devon, Lily, and Moses to share special moments about their on-screen dad, while the likes of Sharon, Victor, Jack and Nate also recall the legacy Neil left behind to all those he loved.

St. John, passed away in February of 2019, and Y&R took home the gold last year for the Outstanding Drama Series at the Daytime Emmys for the memorial episodes where the characters mourned Neil, which also mirrored real-life as the cast mourned their friend and long-time co-star.

Check out today’s special episode and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below and share your remembrances of Kristoff and favorite moments of Genoa City’s Neil, also.

Kristoff St. John. Emmy winning actor, classy, always appeared to be such a gentleman. Still missed.

I’d love that too! The Billie Holiday at the end of the episode had me in tears. It was a beautiful tribute. Not sure why Y and R did another memorial for Neil. You could tell that the actors were not acting but actually emoting their loss of Kristoff (at least the ones that worked with him). The void that Kristoff left will never be replaced.

Days Of Our Lives

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

And Victor (Eric Braeden) sets up an elaborate display of Neil’s accomplishments at Newman Enterprises in the lobby of Newman Tower.”

James shares that losing Kristoff back in February 2019 is still heartbreaking to this day, adding: “I’ll always be sad thinking about Kristoff. I miss him every day.
