Refresh for updates Eric Braeden was among the costars, colleagues and admirers of Kristoff St. John expressing shock and sorrow over news that the actor, most famous for his long-running role on CBS’ The Young and the Restless, died Sunday at age 52.
“No words right now,” tweeted a heartbroken Braeden, St. John’s long-running YATR co-star.
