    I met him at Sylvia Restaurant in Harlem when I was 13 years old. Me and my friends were gushing bc we all watched the soaps, and he was so handsome. He was so nice and patient with us. I mean, we were a bunch of young teenagers interrupting his meal, but you couldn't tell. He took pictures and everything. May this kind soul Rest in Heavenly Peace 🙏🏾

His heart was broken after his beautiful son died so senselessly. That was unbearable to Kristoff. That’s so clear. May be be free in eternal peace, reunited with his firstborn child.

    Thank you for covering this! I had no idea this man is now deceased. I didn't watch the stories but elder women in my family did. As a spiritually intuitive woman, I sense that there was a curse put on this man's family for leaving that Indian cult and then later exposing it. Mental illness is more than just genetics or a chemical imbalance. There is always a spirit behind it. Whether you believe in things like that or not, it can still affect you. That's why it's important to stay prayed up and have spiritual protection to fight off wicked intentions. RIP Kristoff and Julien

I recall either reading in a magazine or online, where he was saying how his stepdad was blocking or trying to block his relationship with his mother and didn't allow him to come to her funeral, which was trifling!! I think other abuses were mentioned and I wonder if that caused him to become Bipolar, or if it was genetic. I recall a scene on Y & R where he and his mom (played by Nichelle Nichols, if I recall correctly) reconciled and she passed while he was there and the way he was reacting, didn't feel like it was just another day at the office - it felt like he was getting his chance to say goodbye to his mom the way he should have been allowed to, without outside interference.

    I started watching Y&R in 1982 and I watch it to this day. I loved Kristoff’s portrayal of Neil. I loved Dru and the whole Winters family. Those of us who watch soaps are very protective of the characters and the actors who play those characters. I didn’t see how on earth he could go to work on a show that deals with a lot of heavy issues after losing a child. That event would kill me. When I heard of his passing, I was brokenhearted again. To this day, his loss is felt by innumerable people. I appreciate how Y&R still pays homage to him as the father of Lily and Devon, & as a member of the Genoa City community.

    His body of work was massive. He was in Bad News bears as a child, he was on an episode of A Different World and many other roles. I started watching the Young and The Restless as a little girl my late grandmother and a late aunt watched every single day for decades. He is missed and loved. Thank you for all the work and research that you did on this episode. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I’m so glad you did a story on Kristoff St. John . Very sad but accurate. He really struggled after the passing of his son. I loved his character in the Young and the Restless. Was so sad when he died. What a loss.
    I was unaware that Mia St. John suffered with alcohol as well. Wish her much strength .
    Good job on telling this story.

    I grew up in Savannah, Georgia and my mom, aunts and grandparents called *Soap Opera* *The Stories* and it started at 12:45pm and didn’t go off until 4pm. In Savannah, if you’re *Black* you’re watching *CBS* stories which means Young And The Restless, As The World Turns, Guiding Light etc.
    My favorite was Young And The Restless so I’m very familiar with Christoff and his little brother on the show Shamar Moore who turned into a thug on the show lol 😂. But my favorite character is Victor Newman The German Assassin and his nemesis Jack throwing chairs out of the window lol 😂

    Kristoff' was a great actor on "Young & Restless," and movie, "Sister Sister." Kristoff and his son were handsome and looked so much like each other, and it's sad they suffered with mental health issues which caused their demise. It's horrible the hospitals they were in was careless and disorganized, and their deaths could've been prevented. I also believe his son' spirit accompanied his father to the other side. RIP Kristoff & Julian.🕊🕊

    Your bios are well thought out. Very concise without spending too much time speculating or sensationalizing the death of celebrities profiled. Kristoff was an outstanding actor and brought so much dignity to the presence of Black male characters on television. I was not too fond of the sporadic tribute dedicated to him on Young & The Restless. He was a pivotal character in the series and along with Victoria Rowell & Shemar Moore, they helped to solidify the dignified images of successful Blacks in daytime television. I remember Kristoff on Roots The Next Generation and in the television special, Sister, Sister. Starring Dihann Carroll, Irene Cara, and Rosalind Cash. He was a phenomenal actor who died a tragic death.

They could have devoted a week-long tribute, celebrating his impact on that series by sharing some of his best scenes with the other characters. Instead, they just showed quick clips of him and his interaction with other cast members. It was disappointing. As was his abrupt death on the show.

I guess they figured doing it that way would calm people down. I do recall a blurb or some post Y&R did where it said, "We hear/heard you, we're working on it" or something to that effect.

These characters made the show and I miss Kristoff St. John's character on Y&R and the show isn't the same without his character and Jeanne Cooper's character. The only reason I kept watching after Kristoff died was to keep up my boy Victor.

I have a friend now whose bipolar & have experienced many days trying to calm her down by talking to her, etc. Well, the talking wasn't enough because she tried to kill herself by overdosing on sleeping pills. But luckily her boyfriend got to her in time & rushed her to the hospital so her stomach could be pumped. She now has found the right amount of meds to "balance" her mood swings. It was a learning experience for me. I wish Kristoff's family strength for their hurt, loss & pain.💕💕💕
