YOUNG AND RESTLESS
In Loving Memory
Y&R’s special episode dedicated to celebrating Neil Winters’s legacy (and by proxy, that of his beloved portrayer, the late Kristoff St. John) was a lovely, poignant trip down memory lane that also enhanced the relationships left in the wake of his death two years ago. The tribute — a walking tour of Neil’s favorite haunts in Genoa City, set to a soundtrack of his favorite jazz tunes curated by his kids — set the stage for important conversations. Better yet, it was peppered with well-chosen flashbacks that beautifully showcased Neil as father, friend, brother and businessman. From Ashley to Nikki to Nate, each character had the chance to reflect on what Neil meant to them, and the lesson they stood to learn from losing him, and the hour ended with those who loved him leaving flowers by his newly unveiled portrait in Chancellor Park and his children coming together in a tearful embrace. It was a powerful way to close out a rewarding and emotional show that proved cathartic not just to the fictional players of Genoa City, but to the audience, as well.
