"I've been a part of something that will somehow be in a time capsule... and I'm part of that? Yeah, I'm one of the brothas on 'The Young and the Restless,' I'm one of the sons. I'm one of the family members. I was there. Yeah, man, Neil Winters was an integral part."After a brief montage of St. John's time on the show, the actor returned to the screen. "Thank you for sharing in this adventure," he said, "this mighty ship that has sailed for so long. I love you."
