Hi! I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to Ebonliner. Today's topic is: Remembering Kristoff St. John.

Kristoff St. John is an actor best known for playing Neil Winters on the CBS daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless from 1991 until his death in 2019. Playing the role of Neil earned him two Daytime Emmy Award from eleven nominations, and ten NAACP Image Awards.


I use to follow Kristoff on Twitter. We chatted a little. Little did I know that he would pass away so soon. I'm glad that I followed him and was just getting to know more about him. It hurt to find out that he was gone.

Kristoff said he got to Young and the Restless when he was 24. He said it meant that he spent half of his life on the set of Young and the Restless. He was on the Young and the Restless for 25 years. Kristoff said he didn't know if he could do another 25 years of anything. He said in an interview what his gravestone would say. Kristoff talked as if he felt something was going to happen to him.

Following Kristoff St. John, I found out that he had a son. However, I couldn't see through his life on Twitter. I found out later that his son Julian died. I hardly knew Kristoff, and I wish that I had known more. Rest in peace Kristoff St. John.
