If you missed this part of the enthralling drama, don’t worry; we’ll tell you everything you need to know about what happened to Hilary on The Young and The Restless.
Hilary Curtis on The Young and The Restless
Hilary Curtis, played by Mishael Morgan, was introduced to The Young and The Restless (Y&R) cast in June 2013. She played the role of a wonderful human, beautiful, smart but conniving whose agenda in Genoa City remained unknown for a time.
As the drama progressed, fans came to love her but eventually, Hilary’s story ended tragically, and her character was permanently eliminated from the show in June 2018, or so it seemed.
For an in-depth look at what happened to Hilary on the Young and The Restless, you must go back to how it started.
Hilary came to the show as Cane Ashby’s new assistant at Chancellor Industries, but later it emerged that she was conspiring with Mason Wilder to bring down the Winters family. Hilary believed that Neil Winters was responsible for her mother, Rose’s death, and she was determined to get back at him.
Rose was the cousin of Hilary’s biological mother, Naya (Ptosha Storey) was married to Richard Nealon. Hillary’s grandfather, Sutton (Jack Landron), played a role in her dad’s death.
When Hilary arrived, Neil apologized to her for his role in Rose’s death. He forgave Hilary for all her lying and conniving ways and even vouched for her to get work as the assistant to Jack Abbott. Hillary had a fling with Jack, and Kyle Abbott even saw her kissing him at a gala on Valentine’s Day.
While still working for Jack Abbott, she ended that affair and began another one with Neil. Eventually, the two got married despite the entire family being against their union. While still married to Neil, Hilary began another affair with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and planned to divorce her husband, Neil, for Devon.
Just as Hilary and Devon prepared to reveal their feelings for each other to Neil, Neil got involved in a freak accident that left him blind. He later regained his eyesight only to find his wife together with Devon.
Hevon: Hillary and Devon’s Romance
Hilary and Neil survived a plane crash, after which Ms. Curtis revealed that she neither loved Devon nor Neil and intended to leave them. Not too long after Hilary and Neil’s confrontation, Neil went on a drinking spree, got into a car accident, and caused Christine to suffer a miscarriage.
In an attempt to protect her husband, Hilary, who was no longer an assistant to Jack Abbott, went on to seduce the District Attorney, successfully blackmailing him into lessening Neil’s DUI charge. In the end, Neil divorced Hilary, allowing her to marry Devon to the relief of the entire family.
After their wedding, Hilary accidentally fell over a cliff. Neil decided to hide her instead of rushing her to the hospital. Neil hired Dr. Simon Neville to revive her. He had hoped that Hilary would have forgotten everything, including that they were divorced.
Even though Neil’s plan worked for a bit, he later told her the truth about him being the mastermind behind her disappearance. Once again, Hilary dissuaded her husband, Devon, from calling the cops on Neil for basically kidnapping her.
Devon dropped the case, but he brought in another doctor to save Hilary’s life, which hung on a cliff after Dr. Neville gave her the wrong drugs.
Later, in the family drama, Devon went on to buy GC Buzz, and Hilary became the show’s host. Devon soon fired her for making the news all about slanderous gossip, especially about Victor Newman. Devon installed Mariah Copeland in her place, a move that shook Curtis to the core.
Devon almost died in a horrible car accident on New Year’s Eve. Hilary decided not to contest the divorce and cooperate with whatever Devon needed. But, she had already decided that she would win him back by being the woman he couldn’t resist.
