Y&R stars celebrate Kristoff St. John's return

Kristoff St. John has returned to the role of The Young and the Restless' Neil Winters, and his costars couldn't be more thrilled to have him back.

Emmy-winning actor Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters) made a much-anticipated return to the set of The Young and the Restless, and his CBS Daytime family is just as happy as fans are.

St. John had to take a break from the nation's number one soap opera while under a doctor's care, so his comeback is extra special. So much so, Daniel Goddard (Cane Ashby) posted an enthusiastic social media update with a photo of his and Eric Braeden's (Victor Newman) reunion with their costar.

"The look of joy on Eric's face really says it all!" Goddard wrote. "We are such a close knit group and always have each other's backs... Everyone has missed you Kristoff & we can't begin to tell you how happy we are to have you back!"

Of course, there was work to be done as well, and St. John shared a video of himself before getting ready to hit the scripts.

St. John's on-air return is scheduled for sometime in mid-April. And though Neil hasn't been gone that long, he might be in for quite a shock when he sees how much has changed since he's been a part of the canvas.
