‘The Young and the Restless’ spoilers tease that Michael E. Knight is OUT at the CBS soap opera.  TV Guide’s Michael Logan broke the news on Twitter on Friday June 10.  Logan tweeted, “More #YR news: Three time Emmy winner Michael E. Knight out as Dr. Simon Neville after a few more eps. Decision made before EP switch.”

When Michael E. Knight arrived in Genoa City, it was unclear exactly how long he would be a member of the CBS soap opera’s cast.  But, fans reacted positively to his quirky character and he had some amazing chemistry with Eileen Davidson’s Ashley Abbott, so TPTB kept him around.
