Shemar Moore and Vivica A. Fox Return to 'The Young and the Restless' for Major Story Arc Shemar Moore and Vivica A. Fox are set to return to CBS’ The Young and the Restless for a significant story arc that will impact the lives of Genoa City’s residents. The actors will reprise their iconic roles as Malcolm Winters and Dr. Stephanie Simmons, respectively, beginning April 6. Their return marks a major event for the long-running soap opera, with both actors emphasizing the lasting consequences of their reentry into the series. Moore, who previously portrayed Malcolm Winters from 1994 to 2005, will once again bring the character to life. His return comes after a series of special appearances in 2014, 2019, and 2023, including a notable tribute to the late Kristoff St. John during the show’s 50th-anniversary celebration. Moore recently wrapped production on S.W.A.T. Exiles, and his return to The Young and the Restless is described as a “reunion” that will leave “lasting implications” for the show’s storyline. Fox, who first appeared as Dr. Stephanie Simmons on The Young and the Restless in 1994, will make her first return to the series since 1995. Her character, Dr. Simmons, was a key figure in the show’s early years, and her return is expected to intertwine with existing plotlines. Fox previously worked alongside St. John, who played the character’s husband, Malcolm Winters, in the 1990s. The actors’ collaboration will likely revisit themes and relationships central to the show’s history. Both Moore and Fox teased their return via social media, with Moore posting a message that read, “We’re young, restless and reunited.” The actors’ posts generated excitement among fans, highlighting the anticipation for their return.#paramount_plus #shemar_moore #vivica_a_fox #the_young_and_the_restless #genoa_city
