The Young and the Restless star Eric Braeden is feeling very lucky to be on the show for over 44 years. The actor, who is best known for his role as Victor Newman on the hit CBS soap, opened up on social media about his incredible career so far. Here’s what he has to say.
Sharing a new video on his social media accounts, Eric can be seen in the entrance to his dressing room. He said, “44 years. Are you serious? I feel very lucky.”
His caption also read, ““It came as a surprise to me today! I’m so fortunate to have been on this show for 44 years. Thank you to all of the fans who make it possible. We are so grateful to our fans, thank you for watching our show. @youngandrestlesscbs @cbstv.”
Back in 2022, Eric lashed out at the writers of The Young and the Restless. Eric there were some producers that wanted to take the soap in a different direction, and that direction was without Victor Newman in the forefront. “What the last regime really wanted, to be frank with you, was to get rid of me and get rid of Melody [Thomas Scott, Nikki], if you want to know the truth.”
Apparently, this all came after Eric had pressed the writers at the time and asked, “When are we going to see Victor be Victor?” In response, Eric said, “The last regime introduced things that no one gave a damn about, okay? Let’s call a spade a spade. No one gave a damn about some of those storylines, no one, because they were not part of the history of that show! I hate to say it, but obviously, the Newman empire is one of the main cornerstones of the show.”
Of course, fans will have to tune in to find out what will happen next. The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on the CBS network. Check your local listings for times.
