Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) is the brother to the late Neil Winters. Pictured with his family, he was once married to Dru’s sister Olivia and had sex with drug-induced Dru, who she thought was Neil, and fathered her daughter Lily.
Malcolm and Olivia married after they grew close while mourning the deaths of their spouses, Keesha and Nathan. Malcolm became a second father to her son, Nate.
Malcolm is with his nephew Devon, who was adopted by his brother Neil. Devon often stuck up for Malcolm and tried to reason with his sister Lily on Malcolm’s behalf.
Malcolm fell for Alex Perez, who was torn, as she also had feelings for his brother, Neil. During a photo shoot, a distraught Malcolm overheard a conversation between Neil and Alex right before a bridge collapsed beneath their truck. Malcolm was presumed dead and Alex and Neil returned to Genoa City consumed with guilt.
Malcolm returned to Genoa City three years after he was left behind by Neil and Alex in Kenya. He was sporting a new look and an angry attitude.
Malcolm and his niece Lily always had a special bond. Though things were rough when she found out that Malcolm was actually her biological father, she, Malcolm and Neil ultimately found a balance in their relationships.
Neil and Malcolm were never close growing up. As adults they loved one another but were often at odds over circumstances or women.
Malcolm fell for Drucilla when he first arrived in Genoa City, but she married Neil. Later, they had a brief affair when Dru and Neil split up, but she ultimately decided to leave town and move to Paris with Lily.
Malcolm’s closest friend in Genoa City is Phyllis Summers. He and the redhead always connect when he comes back to town from his travels.
Malcolm and Olivia’s marriage ended over her trust issues, and they did battle over him wanting to stay in Nate’s life. When Malcolm returned during Lily’s fight against cancer, things were still tense between them.
Malcolm (briefly played by Darius McCrary) married Sofia Dupre, unaware that she had sex with Neil when they were on the outs. When she became pregnant and was forced to reveal that the child might be Neil’s, Malcolm stuck around until Moses was born and a test showed Neil was the father. Malcolm left town.
Malcolm returned following the untimely death of his brother, Neil, from a stroke. He and Devon embraced with their shared pain as he arrived at the penthouse.
Malcolm spoke at Neil’s funeral, then returned to Devon’s penthouse with family and guests to remember his brother. Malcolm took a group photo and made a toast before leaving again. Neil left Malcolm the family photo albums in his will.
