At its core,“The Young and the Restless"is about family.
Without the powerful families of “Genoa City,” the show wouldn’t be the same.
Throughout the years, there have been numerous additions to the Winters family.
However, they aren’t the only individuals carrying the Winters legacy.
People often forget there is a much younger third child, Moses Winters (Jacob Aaron Gaines).
They’re entangled in the dramatic storylines that make for gripping daytime television.
Like many soap children, Moses was the product of an affair involving people with close personal ties.
To preface, Neil and his brother Malcolm Winters (Darius McCrary) always had an antagonistic relationship.
Regardless of how much effort they put into fixing things, something would end up derailing their progress.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and Sofia was pregnant (viaShowbiz CheatSheet).
Malcolm left town after the paternity test revealed Neil to be Moses' father.
Eventually, Sofia and Neil married so they could raise Moses in a traditional family setting.
However, that marriage didn’t last long because Neil’s heart wasn’t in the relationship.
In the fictional world of Genoa City,Neil Winters diedfrom an unexpected stroke in his sleep.
As a way of honoring him, many characters from the past and present appeared in tribute scenes.
Two years later, word spread around town that Moses (now a teenager) was returning.
Fortunately for both kids, meeting each other was what they needed at the time.
She faced issues with alcohol, school bullies, and the trauma of needing a new kidney.
Initially, Moses wanted to follow in the footsteps of his cousin Nate and pursue the medical field.
Being a doctor wasn’t in the cards for him.
However, he still wanted to follow in the footsteps of someone in his family.
Instead of the medical field, he set his sights on becoming a media mogul like his brother Devon.
