The Young and the Restless said a final goodbye to Kristoff St. John on Monday, April 29, with a tribute episode that left the show’s fans brokenhearted. Before the episode aired, his costar Eileen Davidson honored the actor with a photo on Instagram. Read on for all the details.
Eileen, 59, posted a pic of her and Kristoff warmly embracing each other. She captioned it, "Today on @youngandrestlesscbs we celebrate the life of @kristoffstjohn. Please join us as we pay tribute to this wonderful man."
Her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Lisa Rinna left a pray and heart emoji in the comments section.
“My goodness he was handsome,” a fan wrote. “You all did a wonderful job mourning his passing.”
Others were still in disbelief that Kristoff had died. “It doesn't seem real,” a follower commented. “I can't believe he's gone.”
Kristoff died suddenly on Sunday, February 3, at the age of 52. Fans of the show were initially furious that it did not properly address his passing.
The show ultimately aired several episodes that allowed both costars and viewers to say goodbye to Neil’s character Neil Winters. Eileen, along with many others like Shemar Moore, returned to Y&R specifically for him.
How do you think Y&R handled Kristoff’s death, both on and off the show? Sound off in the comments.
