What Helped Young And The Restless Star?
Greg Rikaart also wanted to thank fans for the “incredibly kind and generous message of support you sent my way.” He seemed very touched and emotional as he revealed that fans “really lifted my spirits at a time when they needed to be lifted.” Rikaart confessed that there were “a scary couple of days there.” He seems quite grateful for the support and is grateful that he’s feeling much better now.
For Greg Rikaart, this has been weeks of dealing with the virus that has taken thousands of lives in the United States and has been declared a worldwide pandemic. It all started with his 4-year-old son, Montgomery Argo, who he shares with his husband Robert Sudduth, who showed virus symptoms. While Robert and Montgomery got better, Greg quickly declined.
According to TV Shows Ace, Rikaart had a doctor pay a housecall. But, that physician determined he did not have the flu, and “probably” did not have the virus. The doctors did not test Greg for either. Instead, he received a zpac for an allergy diagnosis.
Greg Rikaart’s Symptoms Didn’t Improve
Rikaart had a fever of 100.5 F for ten days. Unfortunately, he was not getting better. Days later, Greg was tested. He was officially diagnosed a week after the home visit.
Thankfully, he stayed distanced from his Young and the Restless co-stars. Instead of hugs, they have supported Greg on social media. For example, Doug Davidson, who portrays Paul Williams, commented on his latest Instagram post. He shared words of encouragement: “You are such a warrior and a hero!!👍.” Tracy Bregman wrote, “Love seeing your handsome face. So glad you are better. Love you ❤️.” His former Days co-star Chrishell Stause shared the love with her comment, “So happy to hear!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.” Lastly, Melissa Clare Egan wrote,”Best news ever. Love you sweets❤️.”
