The Young And The Restless: Paxton Mishkind Finds Support In Co-Stars
In the fast-paced world of television, it’s not every day that a young performer finds himself at ease. Especially when faced with unexpected challenges. Paxton recently opened up about the warm support he received from his on-screen parents, Amelia Heinle (Victoria) and Jason Thompson (Billy), during a moment that caught him off guard.
In a heartwarming interview with Star Kidz Site, Mishkind expressed his gratitude for the exceptional experience of working alongside them. The young actor revealed a touching incident that showed the compassionate nature of his TV parents. Mishkind recalled a moment early in his The Young And The Restless journey when he tested positive for COVID-19 just before filming his second episode.
Feeling sad in his dressing room, Heinle and Thompson, wearing masks, came in to reassure him. Their words were simple but powerful: setbacks happen to everyone, and he doesn’t need to worry. This gesture left a lasting impression on Mishkind, highlighting the kindness and support he found in his co-stars. “Amelia is incredibly funny and always makes me laugh during blocking. Jason is amazing at making sure we have the scene down and always runs lines with me to make sure we connect authentically. They are just the best,” Mishkind said.
The friendship goes beyond the screen, as Thompson makes sure the scenes feel real by practicing lines with Mishkind. The bond between the cast members goes beyond their roles, which creates a happy and caring place on set. Talking about working with Melissa Claire Egan, who plays Johnny’s biological mom, Chelsea, Mishkind shared his excitement. “My favorite episode was probably the one when Johnny talks to Chelsea in the park because it was a good challenge to show all that emotion,” said The Young And The Restless actor. “And Missy is AMAZING to work with.”
While Mishkind likes the challenges and deep feelings in his scenes, he also cherishes lighter moments on set. One of his favorite scenes involved Johnny, along with fellow young actors Judah Mackey (Connor) and Lily Brooks O’Briant (Lucy), gathered around a table enjoying burgers, tots, and onion rings. In the world of daytime drama, where stories twist, and emotions run high, Mishkind’s experience shows a nice side. Fans can look forward to seeing the real bonds that make the show even more entertaining.
