McDaniel wrote on social media, “His legacy will forever live on in his portrayal of Neil Winters on ‘The Young and The Restless’.

In the meantime, there will be a special moment for Kristoff at the end of the episode this Friday, February 8th. Thank you for sharing all of your touching memories, personal photos and incredible moments during this heartbreaking time.”
Unfortunately, Neil Winters has not had much of a storyline these last several weeks, although he has been around to help support his troubled family. The actor’s final scene on The Young and the Restless aired on Wednesday. The CBS network encouraged many social media fans to share their photos of the actor as a special tribute to the talented daytime television star. It’s without a doubt that Kristoff St. John will definitely be missed on the show. A lot of fans appreciated his love story with Drucilla Winters (played by actress Victoria Rowell) over the years.
