Neil is caught up in a very complicated situation since his lady Hilary (Mishael Morgan) and his adopted son Devon (Bryton James) have a thing for each other. Talk about a love triangle.

In a new interview with SoapOperaNetwork.com, St. John revealed how important Devon is to Neil and how much his adopted son has helped him heal.

New Actor Signs On To Play Adam Newman

"First of all, Neil's love for Devon is very deep. Just because he has adopted Devon and he's not a blood relative or son, doesn't mean Neil doesn't treat him like one. Devon is at the top of the list of people, of family, in his life. Mind you, Neil lost Drucilla, his soul mate, years ago. Neil has been floundering, having lost not only his beloved wife, but also his relationship with his brother. And so Devon is really the anchor, as well as Lily," he explained.

He continued: "But definitely, Neil is closer at this point with Devon than he to anyone, and that should show what's happening between Neil and Devon in these episodes presently and what's coming up."

Morgan, the actress who plays Hilary, previously hinted to SerialScoop.com that Neil may freak out about the affair. "Hopefully it doesn't lead him to drinking again," Morgan added.

But, Neil's brother Malcom (Shemar Moore) will return after almost 10 years for two episodes in September. Will he help him?
