CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers finds that star Bryton James (Devon Hamilton) is opening up about his early days in Genoa City and the importance of the Winters family and their long-lasting legacy on the hit CBS soap. Here’s what he has to say.
Speaking to TV Insider in a new interview, the handsome actor said that he’s been staying home and watching classic episodes of The Young and the Restless, just like the rest of us. Looking back at the beginning of his daytime television career, the actor says that being a part of a foster care storyline was just as important to him then as it is now.

Recalling that time, Bryton told the site, “There was an immediate sense of great importance. Of course, I wanted to do a great job because of how meaningful and personal it was to Victoria. The stories they gave me early on were all directly from experiences that Victoria herself had. The reason Devon ran off to the zoo was because no one had remembered his birthday. Victoria told me that that had happened to her as a teenager. [Her foster family] had forgotten her birthday. That gave me great insight into Devon and what he was feeling.”
Devon also hinted that while there will be some changes ahead for his character, the Winters family legacy will always live on, despite the fact that some very important actors like Kristoff St. John are now gone. The actor passed away back in January of 2019.
Bryton explained, “They made that family what it is. Christel and I try to live up to that. I think the show and the writers have done a phenomenal job of integrating us and elevating the family being right up there up there with the Abbotts and the Newmans and the Chancellors, of which Devon is a member. For him to have established his own company with Neil was a big thing. Now, Lily’s involved in Jill’s (Jess Walton) media company. It’s in the writers’ hands to keep the legacy going and it’s in the performers hands to keep it believable. I think we’ve all done a great job. The fans are loving it.”
