Kristoff St John and the planned tribute

The show has decided to honor the late Kristoff St John who died on 3 February 2019 at age 52 due to hypertrophic heart disease and alcohol.

They have planned the tribute in several ways. The first way they will pay tribute to him would be in the form of a 4-episode story arc from 23 to 26 April where Kristoff’s character Neil would be shown as having expired in the show and his past and present co-stars would pay him their respect.

Shemar Moore who plays his brother in the show would reprise his role. Besides him, Eileen Davidson, Victoria Rowell, and Mishael Morgan will also return.

On 29 April 2019, there will be a special tribute episode for the departed soul. All the stars will share their fond memories of Kristoff in this episode. The Talk will also broadcast a special episode on 26 April where they will air his special scenes as Neil.

Anthony Morina, the executive producer of the show said:

“Our hope is that this storyline and tribute episode…will honor the legendary character Kristoff helped create, and provide our audience with the opportunity to say a meaningful goodbye to Neil Winters,”

Shemar had earlier said:

“He opened doors for me and many. He opened doors for people who don’t even realize he opened doors, but he did. And he opened doors and he was so committed to his craft. He always wanted to be better. He wanted to touch people and he did.”
