At the time of St. John’s death, Neil had still been a viable character on the show.
In 2017, St. John was hospitalized after he threatened to shoot himself, according toTMZ.
However, he never got to see her back in Genoa City (viaSoaps In Depth).
Instead, Devon returned home that night to find his father’s lifeless body in bed.
“Y&R” also gave the character and actor a meaningful sendoff.
Later in the week, the show broke the fourth wall to honor St. John.
