Shemar Moore was a staple cast member of The Young and the Restless until he
decided to leave the show in 2005. After leaving Y&R, he has landed exciting roles
in other hit television shows. But what is he doing exactly at present? Let’s find out.
Long-time viewers of Y&R would know that there was a time when Y&R used to be more than just the
rivalries between the Newmans and Abbotts. Y&R had a more diversified storyline that focused on other
families as well like the Chancellors and Winters. Speaking of the Winters, this family has
significantly shrunken over the years. The family patriarch, Neil Winters,
passed away in April 2019, following the death of actor Kristoff St. John in real life.
Neil Winters had a wife, Drucilla Winters, who has not appeared on the show since going missing
after a fight with Phyllis Summers. She fell off a cliff and her body was never recovered.
Neil had a son named Moses Winter with Sofia Dupre,
who left GC shortly after the baby was born.
Viewers may remember, Sofia initially came to GC as the fiancé of Malcolm Winters.
She ended up sleeping with Neil after a major fight with Malcolm and ended up pregnant.
Initially, she thought that the baby was Malcolm’s but a paternity test proved that
Neil was the real dad. Devastated Malcolm divorced Sofia and left town for good.
It was not the first time that both the brothers had fallen for the same woman. When Malcolm came
to GC for the first time looking for his estranged brother, he was immediately smitten by Drucilla.
Dru ended up marrying Neil but Malcolm still liked her. So when Dru mistook him for Neil
after an accidental overdose of cold medicines, he ended up hooking up with her.
Of course, the other day, Malcolm felt bad for taking advantage of
Dru but she eventually forgave him. Dru found out she was pregnant but
believing Neil to be the baby daddy, she moved on. Meanwhile. Malcolm also moved on
and fell in love with Keesha Monroe. They even got married but sadly, Keesha passed away from AIDS.
Next Malcolm found himself drawn to Dru’s younger sister, Olivia. He was also deeply attached to
her son Nate Hastings, Jr. Malcolm and Olivia eventually got married but intervention from
a jealous ex-girlfriend, Callie Rogers, tore their marriage apart. However, he continued
being there for Nate just like a father. Malcolm reunited with Callie and they even
got engaged. But Callie left him and jetted out of GC soon.
Next, Neil and Malcolm once again got caught in a love triangle with attorney Alex Perez.
Alex got married to Malcolm but she still had feelings for Neil.
Malcolm eventually learned the truth, following which he did not just leave Alex but GC itself.
He went on an assignment in Kenya. Everyone believed he was killed in a bridge collapse
incident in Kenya but a couple of years later, he turned up alive. He returned to GC and resented
Neil for not making effort to rescue him in Kenya. The brothers did make peace but it did not last
too long, The revelation of Dru’s child Lily Winters’ real paternity caused a rift between
them. Next, Lily faced a major health crisis and the brothers once again buried
their hatchet to support their daughter. Then came the Sofia Dupre storyline. The
love triangle between Sofia, Malcolm, and Neil once again led Malcolm out of town.
Since then, he once returned in 2014 to take care of Neil who became temporarily blind.
He made his final appearance in April 2019 to pay tribute to Neil after his death.
