This is not the kind of news item we would ever wish to report, especially because it involves one of our very dear friends and colleagues so personally, but so much now has circulated on the Internet that we wanted to pay our respects.
As many fans of The Young and the Restless and Daytime Emmy winner Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters) have been hearing and reading, Kristoff’s 25-year-old son Julian, who has battled mental illness and addiction, and was an incredibly talented artist, died on November 23rd.
Julian’s mother, Mia St. John (Professional Boxer and former WBC champion) took to Twitter with this heartbreaking message yesterday on November 28th in which she shared: “On November 23rd Kristoff St. John and I lost our beautiful son, Julian St John. Our son was the light of our lives, an artist with a beautiful mind and spirit. He fought long and hard against an illness for which there is no cure. Unfortunately the pain became too great for him and I dare not say he lost the battle–he simply chose to set himself free. My fight for mental health will continue. They may not find a cure in my lifetime, but we can try and prevent the loss of another beautiful soul.

Funeral services will be held this coming week on December 5th, which is Julian’s birthday. Following services, there will be a reception and art exhibit from Julian’s final collection http://theartofjulian.com/

My heart breaks for both of you,may you son Julian RIP,always know whereever you are or whatever your doing he is always and forever with you ,in your heart and all the priceless memories that you all made together.You and your wife are in my thoghts and prayers.God Bless you all.
What incredibly sad news. My condolences to Kristoff and his entire family.
My heart felt condolences to the St John family. Mental illness is such a tragic disease. It’s very hard on the ones left behind. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.
I had the privilege of coaching Julian and Paris in Middle School and both were so respectful and polite. And so very talented..RIP Julian! Sorry for your loss Mia,Kristoff and Paris.
… Until you meet again have peace ..
When someone like Mr. St. John has been in our homes for years, entertaining us, doing his best to do so, this “real life” tragedy resonates in deeper ways than a “storyline” ever can. With sincere sympathy for such a loss and may light continue to shine on what has taken this young man away, as his mother so eloquently stated. God bless all.
Prayers for the St. John family. Though you would like to have walked that path with him..we all walk a singular road on this Earth..rest assured that your love and patience and frustration and joy were never lost. Parents are the most important people on this Earth aside from the Holy Spirit and you did all that was required of you. Don’t look on things as Illness and addiction but as some of us just being overwhelmed. By life..By just Being…some people peel back a layer of reality and see much more than others and it’s so hard to articulate… Read more »
BEST POST I’VE SEEN and i’ve read almost them all…
RIP sweet beautiful Julian. i can’t imagine what Neil(Kristoff St.John is going through and the mother Mia. i am very sad sigh.
RIP in heaven Mr.Julian St.John
When Julian was on Twitter before his art show in Laguna in 2013, he and I exchanged comments on Twitter as I also create art. When calling the Gallery in Laguna, staff were happy to pass along a card to him which was to congratulate him on succeeding in his artistic talents despite his on-going illness. I mailed a card from Vancouver, Canada. So happy to be supportive. He did let me know of receiving my card and how it delighted him sent from so far away. Was aware he’d been struggling over the past year and tonight before midnight,… Read more »
my deepest sympathies to Kristoff and his family. Mental illness is so difficult to understand unless you go through it with a family member as I have this past year. May your son find the peace he could never find in this life in the after life. No parent should ever suffer the loss of a child…no matter their age or circumstances. RIP Julian.
Our heart breaks for y’all
Devastating. Tears streaming. A parent should NEVER have to bury their children. Mental illness is so prevalent-2 years ago I lost my beautiful 17 yr. Old nephew, Corey to suicide. Y&R: PLEASE, PLEASE fix your Sharon bipolar storyline! It’s REVOLTING!!! Once again, the mentally ill character who strives to overcome and changes her life loses everything over what her sick self did, but her tormenters, also clearly sick, just smirk and spend Thanksgiving with family. Way to tell viewers that may struggle with some form of mental illness that it’s better to just keep it under wraps or everything in… Read more »
So very sorry for your loss Kristoff and Mia,my prayers go out to you and your family.

My prayers go out to you and your family . May he rest in peace . We all have deamons some of us just learn how to control them and some of us need to get help. Now you as parents need to get help to get though this . It can only do good for you. I’m sure your son didnt do this to hurt you but to ease his pain . Be strong you have so meny people that will help you get though this time of sorrow .God Bless you and your family.
what i hear in mia’s words are the words of someone who clearly loved and supported her son through his illness. mental illness is sadly still stigmatised and trivialised. clearly, julian’s parents weren’t like that, and i’m sure that even though he found life too hard to bear, he knew that his parents had always been there for there. that’s something i’m sure he was grateful for, and hopefully, they will be able to hold onto that as they mourn the loss of their child. deeply saddened.
I want to send my thoughts and prayers to Kristoff and Mia and all the St. John family. I am so sorry for your loss. May he RIP.
I can’t begin to comprehend the grief the St. John family are going thru, I truly hope their beloved son is at peace and the family will begin to find healing.
My prayers and thoughts are with the entire St. John family in this time of great tragedy.
I want to send my thoughts and prayers to Kristoff and Mia and all the St.John family. I am so sorry for your loss. May he RIP.
sO SORRY TO HEAR THIS. wE HAVE A gRANDSON 31 THAT HAS BATTLED ALL OF HIS LIFE AS WELL. hAS NO iNS SO NO ONE WILL EVEN TALK WITH US. iT IS REALLY A BAD SICKNESS TO HAVE. May Heavenly Father be with all of you at this time. Again so sorry for your loss.

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
So sorry and our prayers are with you Kristoff and Mia.
sincerely sorry for your loss and reach put to you with understanding that comes from having a brother, cousins, friends and stepson who are in recovery. Focusing on the peace that Julian has now is not easy, but for him, the battle is done, he is no longer a prisoner of this disease, he is no longer an addict. Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayes.
So very heartbreaking my deepest sympathies to you and Mia.
In the heart of darkness it is hard to see a light It is difficult to imagine a future that is meaningful and bright Drowning in a sea of sadness it is hard to find a rope It is difficult to cling to concepts of possibility and hope In the shadows of despair it is hard to believe in love It is difficult to accept oneself as being vital here and above But difficult is not impossible, nor is now forevermore There is a passage, there is a door. It is too late for some, they grew too weary to… Read more »

It’s just a new normal. God bless you and your family. If you ever need to talk please contact me. Sincerely, Loretta McDougall

‘That’s A Wrap’ For Dynasty’s Elizabeth Gillies & Adam Huber As They Share Farewells
The fifth and final season of CW’s Dynasty is currently playing out with the series finale to air in the early fall.
However, filming on the show wrapped this past week for series star Elizabeth Gillies (Fallon) and her on-screen husband, Adam Huber (Liam). Each of them took to their Instagrams to share heartfelt goodbyes and ‘thank you’s’ for the journey they traveled as part of the reboot of the classic ABC primetime soap opera with its own twist.

Huber shared his thoughts, when he expressed: “That’s a wrap!! When I got the call in 2017 that I was going to be flying out to Atlanta to join the show DYNASTY for a few episodes I had no idea what it would turn into. 4 years of my life and 84 episodes later is what happened. I am beyond grateful for this show. This is the first time I’ve ever really been apart of something like this. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve cried a lot. And I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to anyone and everyone who was with me on this journey. Thank you to my friends and family for your non stop love and support. My manager and agents who are absolute rockstars. The crew that wakes up day after day working lonnnng hours so we can have a finished product. The writers, directors and producers for making this show the success that it is. The casting director for saying “I think I found our Liam” The entire cast for being so welcoming from the first day I stepped foot on set. The day players, extras, stand ins, all of you!!
And gigantic thank you to all the fans!!! Thank you for staying with us the whole time during this wild ride. Without you watching and binging on whatever platform you watch the show on, we would have not been able to bring you 5 seasons and 108 episodes of DYNASTY craziness. Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. This has been an experience I will never forget! 🖤Ps…new episode tonight!! I hope you enjoy the rest of the season! It’s going to be a lot of fun!”

Gillies, simply brought out her inner-Fallon with her Instagram post which said, “Every day, I take one man’s dirt and turn it into diamonds. And digging up insider info is even easier when they assume you work for the airline, instead of owning the plane. Bon Voyage, Fallon 🥂”
Elizabeth’s co-stars were quick to heap praise on the talented actress/singer/director (she directed the two most recent episodes of the series). Rafael de La Fuente who plays Sammy Jo, expressed: ‘What a gift for me to get to work with you for five years. Forever a fan, forever family.”
Pop superstar, Arianna Grande, a longtime friend, and Broadway co-star with Gillies in the musical 13, posted: “Oh my.congratulations, my Liz, on completing this massive and magnificent chapter with Fallon. she is / you are utterly spectacular. !!!!!!!!! love youuu. sm.”
You can check out their farewell posts below.
So, sad to know that Liz and Adam have wrapped their run as the fifth and final season of Dynasty is coming to a close? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
