Victor Young and the restless: Most of us want to know what happened suddenly to Victor as we get some news that he is leaving The Young and the Restless. But is Victor Leaving?🤔
Well, The answer is No, Victor whose real name is Eric Braden is not leaving the young and the restless, he is just taking some rest or going to take leave for around 5 weeks.
I know that most of the fans of The Youngs and The Restless are upset because Victor will not be present for more than 5 weeks.

Braeden strolled off the set in September over an agreement question with Sony, which maintained that the entertainer should accept a decrease in salary. Braeden, all things being equal, chose to exit.

Victor Newman is leaving Genoa City – evidently for good. Eric Braeden, who has played Newman on The Young and the Restless starting around 1980, told Entertainment Weekly that he has “reassessed” more discussions to remain on the CBS cleanser.

“We reached an impasse in the negotiations,” Braeden told EW. “I have shown flexibility, they have shown none … That’s a sign of utter disrespect.

Braeden, whose last episode will air on Nov. 2, added that he’s searching for new open doors yet wouldn’t indicate. “It’s gradually soaking in [that I’m leaving]😞,” said Braeden. “It’s miserable.”

Diane B. Hunt
I agree give him what he wants he is the show. I have watched the soap since it started.
Victor is the one who makes the show.if he live the show is not going to be the same. No Victor no me.And that’s all she wrote.
Agree with all of you, up his pay, what ever it takes. Kiss his as he makes the Y&R. Suck it up. Other wise your ratings going to drop drastic.
Eric B. Is irreplaceable! No Victor the show will tank!
CBS as usual n my sling bad decisions!
If Victor leaves, the show is doomed. It will be cancelled. Marks my words
No Victor ….No me!!
Victor makes the show
We need Victor on the show . He is given us all this time he deserves good pay .
It is shameful to see Victor disappointed. This man has held everyone together through out the years.
I agree with Victor, the disrespect is uncalled for.
Victor deserves better!
I have watched it since it started also so please give him what he wants. He is Y&R.
Without Victor there is no Y&R!
I agree, Y&R is already slipping if Victor leaves so do I. I’ve watched it from day one but I can certainly find something else to watch if Victor leaves the show. Drew
Can’t stand Victor he is a criminal he should have been along time ago, for all his crimes but no he is. Trump ne er pays for his crimes GET RID OF Victor
Victor is The Young and RestlessWithout himThe show is no rulesWhatever he is asking for please give it to himDo not let our Victor Newman goThank you
Yes please give Victor what he is asking for I would hate to see him leave the show. It definitely wouldn’t be the same without him and It would be hard although not impossible to replace him.
Well he is the sum total of Y&R., Please pay the man. He deserves it!
He is my hero..It won’t be worth watching with out Erick
I agree with everyone else, GIVE (Victor) Eric what he wants. He makes the show !!!! No one will be able to replace him. I will no longer watch the Y&R. GIVE THE MAN WHAT HE WANTS!!! He is so worth it!!!
I have watched the show since it started too. I agree with most texts. Victor is the show. If he’s gone so am I .!!!!
Yea, me too, I was a teenager, when Y & R came to be. With Snapper , Jill, their mom , Traci, John , Jack, & Ashley. They were all young & Mrs.Chancellor
I’ve watched Y&R since the inception. Victor Newman is the backbone of the show! He deserves to be well Compensated for his performances. He’s earned it after all these years. If Victor leaves, there’s no reason for me to continue watching 😢
Victor is the show it will lose ratings give Victor more money cheap scates he is worth it im with everyone else will stop watching it
BubBye !!!!
There’s no one more magnificent then Victor Newman he is the show and we love him so much so yes give him what he want he deserve it of course without him there is no show
I so 👍agree
I agree with all the texts if Victor leaves so will I.
I’m going to miss my powerful father in this moment he’s going to be missed
Yeah please give him what he wants Eric who plays Victor. Any body else that plays Victor it want be right
It want be right? I don’t understand what that means.
LOL
I agree 👍 💯 never be the same again. Definitely will loose a lot of viewers, Dedicated Viewers at that.
He Needs to be off to get some rest. He is 80 ish and needs time to enjoy doing nothing.
Leave it up to him! He knows what’s best for him.
I’m 65 yo and I’ve been watching the show since I was 15 yo. Plz don’t get rid of Victor or the show will go dwn hill ……
Victor is the top man on this show, I have to say that it’s a pleasure to watch Y&R which I have since it started, the great actor, fashion, story lines, it’s so bright n beautiful. We don’t like to see any of our favorite stars leave although some may have too. But not Victor, he is tough. Don’t let him go!
He is a veteran actor from before Y and R. He deserves more respect.
Yes he does. I watch him on re-runs of combat when he was very young. Any role he plays is exceptional. Y & R could never replace Eric Braeden/Victor. Viewership would be destroyed!
No y’all need to stop give him what he wants if he leaves no more young and the restless for me bye yall
Victor is good but they need more villain stories with past actors and actresses and give more power to Adam and jack there on the show too..
Yes
I won’t watch it nomore either
I’m about ready to quit watching it. Not because of Victor, but those lesbians . It’s disgusting. Wish they would leave the show. As far as Victor, let the man make up his own mind. He has devoted years and years to that show, ever since it started.
Noone will watch w out Victor.. period
If it wasn’t for Victor Newman there would not be a young the Restless whatever it is that y’all not doing for him y’all should he play his part so well.admire by allot of people and loved.
I agree. I have watched Y&R since the beginning in the 70s but he is the show. I have seen him in numerous westerns and he is 1 of the last of cowboys also. Give the man what he deserves.
I have been watching since the beginnine, came home druing lunch and watched, hubby got hooked too, bought our first VCR because of Victor and and that incredible house they had! Those days, NIki was stripping and all the disc jokeys would be taking about the bayou. Catherine, got hooked on a make stripper, and they handled his death so tastefully, Cash was his name. That was real writing, multi generations, Catherine as the strong woman of the set. That was some show, and today, it is Victor doing his he”God” auro that keeps me watching. I wil miss the bigget hunk on the show as well, Rey (Jordi Vilasuso. Looking to find him to watch wherever he lands.
Braden is not a young man he probably need some time off and might need to retire.
I agree..he is an icon!!
If Eric leaves I do too.Been watching since first episode.
Victor Deserves what he’s asking for. Think about it. He’s just as important as Katherine was. Don’t let him go
DIANE YOU’RE, SO RIGHT!!!
If Victor ), leaves Y&R,
so do I. Victor is Y&R!!! There are several talented actors on The Young and Restless. Running close behind is … Nikki, Jack, Phyllis, Victoria, (who I’m worried about, due to Last Friday’s car accident she experienced).
Also, there is Adam/Mark Grossman, Sharon, Billy…even Nick, who make Y&R !!! However, Victor leads the Pack!!! Y&R Production created Monster Viewers (Us)..lol. enjoying these actors every day!! I never want them to leave. Victor has to stay!!
It is, “Still” Sad enough we had to lose Neil in “Real Life”. Heck, i even miss the 1st Ashland, as well as Summer and Kyle.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed D ☺
Yes give him what he wants
💯🙋🏻♀️💯
I wish Victor would leave , can’t stand him, he is another trump go to hell victor —- trump👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺
Give it a break…why must you get political and bring former President Trump into this…he’s been out of office for over a year…
He is the reason I watch! Their success on daytime soaps hasn’t been because of the writers of the Y&R! It has been because of all the long time actors on the show! Keep Eric Braden! This 71 yr old lady loves Victor!
I have been watching the young and the restless since I was a child the show won’t be the same if he leaves
If Victor leaves I’m gone as well. He is nothing but the truth. He should get paid good he is an awesome actor. He turns me on.
I have been watching y & R since the beginning I can’t go on without Victor Newman he is the Young and the Restless please give him whatever he wants 🙏❤️
That dosent leave that many original actors left. Hate to c him go 😢😭 Jack has to take the main character when victor leaves. Poor Nickie
He wasn’t one of the original actors. He joined later, I believe, as the Brooks, the Abbotts, and the Chancellors were the show. That’s what I remember it being anyway. But yeah, sign the man for crying out loud. I hate the miserable man, lol. But the show won’t be the same without him
You are right. Victor is a great actor and carries the part well but he came in as Julia’s mean husband. We must remember, we all get older and he may need a rest. I hope he comes back after his break. He should not have to take a wage cut. Sign the man if he wants to stay.
If Victor leaves the ratings will go down and no more Y&R. So all the good shows will be gone except for Bold & the beautiful.
I have watch Y&R since day one when it first air Victor and Mrs. Chancellor was the backbone to the show. Now Victor carried this soap without her he leave I will wash my hands of it.
True and I liked the fact he was the man anyone could go to and he would just say I’ll take care of it. Haha who will take his place or be the man if he leaves. I still miss mrs Chancler and John. Both great actors. They’ll have to bring in a relative long lost brother to take his place.
You forgot about the Fosters!!
Not me love the Fosters and the Brioksnfamilybstory and Lance remember her and the mom Vanessa
If Victor leave I’m leaving love me some him ..
Victor my favorite one on the young and Restless.
Why don’t you give Eric breaden what he want same for the lady who plays nikki there is always one couple that you always want and need to see the anchor s that all other characters go around
I have been with this show since it started Victor is the main character Please do not cut his pay give him what he wants there would be no more good things on the young and the restless if victor leaves I will go home just to see The young and the restless no matter where I’m at
What !Victor is leaving Y@R will lose a lot of viewers. Boring as he is he give the show class he is the glue that keeps the show together. I used to watch when l was in high school my grandchildren watch. Give him his money he deserve it! Pleased
Seeems we ALL Agree..no Victor no audience.. #boycottCBS
If Victor leaves the show will dry up No more Victor no more me that will clear up an hour of my day 😠
We don’t live forever, but as long as Victor is healthy, they need to agree with him. This man is the core of Y&R. Without Victor, the show is done. Don’t even try to replace him cuz it ain’t gonna happen as he would say.
I agree
I agree-without Victor there will be NO Young And Restless to watch-pay him the money he not only deserves but he’s earned as much as he wants!!!💞😉💓
Absolutely 👍
Yes 🙌🏼
Didn’t we go through this before about a year or two ago with Victor leaving.? Repetition repetition repetition
Yep me too!
If Victor leaves I’m done with the Y&R….. I record it every day but I will know longer be interested in it……….
Braden is not a young man he probably need some time off and might need to retire.
Yes I agree wholeheartedly 100 percent Victor definitely makes the show!
Meeeeee. To. I have watch Y&R since day 1. No Victor no me. And that’s afact.
If Victor leaves i will stop washing he is the hold show everyone is boring
We need a NEW WRITER. Victor is the show.
Victor makes y/r it will not b the same if he leaves the show…
He’s in his 80s, so we knew it was coming. Let’s think about all the great moments we’ve enjoyed with him. A great actor and will be sorely missed. Here’s to you Eric Braden. Cheers. A fan for life…Lana Johnson
Victor when and if you leave the The YOUNG AND RESTLESS BEING MY MOM WOULD HAVE BEEN 94 yrs. We both had been watching you and all since 1
I’m still watching it mom is in our hearts and would be still if she could
Her rule was no phones and company and all must be quiet.
Her SHOW IS ON. AND VICTIR IS IT. VICTOR YOU DON’t how my life will go down with no sleep at nite forever more when you are our home life
You are WONDERFUL.
YOU ARE THER HERO OF TV SOAPS AND KEEP IT ALIVE
WOW. IM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH IM NOT GOING TO WATCH ANY TV ANYTHING
IF YOU ARE GONE
I WILL GIVE UP TV COMPLETELY FOREVER.
MY HEART IS ALWAYS WITH YOU
I WANT TO WISH YOU THE
B E S T
FOREVER MORE
ALWAYS LOVE
CINDY. LOU
Did he find the cute for cancer?
Pleeeeerrse..
Victor Newman IS the young n restless. I must have my victor fix rvery day
I totally agree. MR BRADEN is the glue that holds the show together. And I will also leave watching. Why is it, when you have such great and beloved actors you squabble over is asked for. How much has Mr. Braden made for you and the network. THINK ABOUT IT
I absolutely agree with you. Victor leaves, I leave. I too have watched him from the very beginning. How disrespectful to ask Victor to take a cut in pay, He has made that show the success it has. NO ONE can feel Victor Newmans Shoes.!
I agree 💯👍
Victor Newman and the Newman’s and the Abbott’s fued was the show for a long time. But then a lot of the characters made the show but Victor is the villain on the show and he makes the show possible.
Amen 🙏🏻 to That !!! 🙋🏻♀️
I totally agree! Please keep Victor in place! Do whatever necessary to make him happy! Without Victor, & Victoria – half the family is gone! And the Abbotts are no match!
Letting Victor leave would be the last straw for me! I won’t watch another episode. Change the lousy writers. Hire new writers with fresh original ideas instead of copying story lines from The Bold & Beautiful. Why do these writers keep bringing people back from the dead, prison or obscurity?
if Victor is gone, so am I after 40 years
I’ve been watching y&r sence the beginning and the rest of you fans have to realize that Eric Brenden is up their in age he isn’t getting any younger I will continue to watch the show with or without him
I am NOT a fan if Victor, he is too mean. Plus I HATE the way he speaks with the scent and his S’s drive me crazy. I have watched the show from before Tim Selleck played Jed. Let Victor retire
Hooray!!!!!! Finally someone who has some common sense.
See ya Victor…. Don’t let the door hit you in your old mumbling a*s
Anen
VICTOR IS A DEMON THAT NEEDED TO BE SLAIN LONG AGO…THE SHOW WILL ONLY GET BETTER WITHOUT HAVING VICTOR CONTROL WHERE THE GREAT POWERFUL OZ WANTS THE CLIMAX TO ENRICH HIS POWER…LET THE OTHERS ON THE SHOW HAVE A CHANCE!
The one thing I’ve loved about Y&R over the years is that when they show scenes of the past, the actors have remained with the show. Victor is one of them. He deserves to be compensated accordingly for his work. Let him continue with his personality, his moods, his controlling behavior and his history that brings out genuine emotions, be they hate, love, disdain, aggravation or whatever we fans feel. We all feel that he is someone we want to see.
Yep you are stupid
I agree all of the major players on the show have either passed on or have left the show and if Victor leaves that just leaves Jack and family along with the rest of the Newman clan. So if Victor walks I too am walking. They need need to let Victoria go or change her holier than thou attitude along with the rest of the family they all care about what Adam can do for them none care about Adam honestly not even daddy dearest.
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS WILL BE DEAD FOR THE WORLD. VICTOR AND NICKI ARE THE SHOW. ARE THE PRODUCERS CRAZY!
If Victor leaves The Young and Restless the writers may as well cancel the soap opera all together and start looking for a new one I won’t be watching
This article is confusing and is just plain click bate.
I’m also leaving if Victor does. Having Victoria act stupidly turned my stomach but Victor leaving… inexcusable on the part of the writers/owners of the show. Oh well, I’ll find something to do constructive during that hour, but I’ll sure miss Y&R.
If Victor leave I won’t be watching
Me as well! This is ridiculous. Without Victor, there would be no show.
If victor leaves I will no longer watch the show.
If Victor newman..
…that is it..I will no longer watch Y&R…..I Record the show and if he is not on that day , I erase everything…. I only watch it when Vicyor is on. He is the.show.
Agree. Victor has been Y&R for such a long long time. How would we go on without our man Victor!
Me too. He is the heart of the show.
He sure is
I agree! Victor Newman is the show and if he exits me too!
That means my family well stop to Victor makes the show .we can do with out the editors though.
He is the best part of the show … I love him…
I agree. If he goes, I go!
🙋🏻♀️💯🙋🏻♀️
If Victor leave, I will stop watching the y&R. Victor is the show also Nikki. I do not and can not stand Adam and don’t want to see him running the Newman enterprise.
He wasn’t in the beginning
Frankly I think he takes up too much time on the soap! There are plenty of SL that never get the attention Orr time to really develop.
But don’t fear, EB is never going to retire! His ego couldn’t take it! Ha!
You’re Stupid
I started watching Y&R the day it started… I ABSOLUTELY adore Eric
(Victor) no one could begin to take over for Victor. As for him leaving, I think my passion for Y&R would dwindle as well.
I agree! I have watched Y& R for 45 years! I leave the show too if you let Eric go!!!!
Please don’t let him leave I’ve been watching since i was 13 im 66 now nothing keeps me from watching victor. If i have an appointment it has to be when young & restless is off without victor is like being without air if he wants the moon please give it to him please please in the words of James Brown please please please victor don’t go i love you so
Me too 👍🙋🏻♀️👍
BB Johnson
I love Victor. He has been the staple holding the show together. He’s worth every penny he wants. Without him. The show loses its viewers. What is Vicki to do withiut him. She is also a staple. They have been with the show since the beginning. I will think twice about watching if he goes.
Leave victor on if he goes I go Anastasia
I’m retiring from the Young and Restless. I have watched 55 yrs. I am now 70. To old to be Young and Restless. Thank you to Victor and Niki for many wonder years of laughter, and tears. You both have served us well in the entertainment industry. Our hearts will continue to remember and love you both. Our hearts to you….Mr. & Mrs. Victor Newmen
Totally agree!
It won’t be the same without him..what’s wrong with Sony? They will lose so many viewers if he goes..pay the guy, for the love of God…
yep! Ratings will drop signifacantlly! You need to rethink and come yo an agreement Eric will accept
Also if you are thinking of keeping Ashland Locke . Big Mistake!!!
I agree
I agree!! I just thought the sane thing. I’ve watchedtl this show from the beginning, so if Victor goes, so do I. He makes the show the main reason it’s so good!! Give him what he wants!!
Give Eric what he is asking for he is Y&R. Y&R without Eric will loose its rating. He make tge Soap worth watching
Yes he is
I agree. If Victor goes the show should end.
Yes!!!!
You have to many actor actress leaving when Eric leave I’m leaving been watching over 20yrs.
I have always lost interest in the past when Victor was not on. It was like “Dallas” without JR! Now, with Jordi Vilasuso gone, victor is the only real man on the show, the only two sexy ones, age beside the point. I had hopes for Adam, but none has lived up to the last one or my favorite whom Hunter King got fired. The last think we needed was Kyle back, and Noah has disappointed. Sick of Phyllis, blather, blather. The whole writing and casting has gone way downhill!
I don’t think Victor should leVe and Victor should not leave either
He has therented to leave before it is Ll about the $$$$”
No way im watching if he leaves. I’m totally out! What the heck you think. Give him a raise and stop acting nut! No Victor! No Dee! You just made me mad 😠!
I have watched the y&r since the first day it aired in my 20’s I’m now 71. People either have to retire from the show or really just pass away toend their career. This is sad but knowone can take Eric’s place, but maybe Josh could take over the business .
No victor no audience Watch how fast the ratins drop with out him.The only real actors left is jack & philis.
There’s going to be a huge boycott of the show if he leaves…wait and see.
You all need a proof reader because it’s hard to follow what’s being said because there’s so many errors
Sorry to hear that, we will make sure that it doesn’t happen again
I agree! If you have a blog you want people to read then at least look up how to spell leaving! I think I will stop watching Y & R if Victor leaves because the powers that be want him to take a pay cut! Is it because they need the money for the CEO wants his huge bonus? Lauarlee Bell had better step in to keep him!
🤣🙋🏻♀️🤣
Love your comment
Guess I will stop watching
How sad 😟
I’ve watched victor since i was a little girl with my grandmother. No victor I’m done watching.
Victor has made the Young And The Restless. The show would never be the same cause he’s not replaceable and all of you know that! Have a change of heart and give him what’s do to him Y&R have made you all plenty of money cause of the character but what they bring to the people!!!!
I think Eric makes the show also and he is a man of integrity in his personal life.
Why not keep his salary intact until he decides to retire? He doesn’t forget where he comes from and always donates money in memory of his heritage.
Eric and Victor are absolutely Day and Night.
Such great talent❤️👍
That makes two of us! NO Victor no more Y&R for me either… that is really disappointing!
I hope victor doesn’t leave the show because he is the show. I have watched this show since it’s inception.
I have watch the show since 1967 has anyone found the man Victor walled up i his basement many years ago??
The show start it 1973
It wasn’t on in 1967 it started in March 1973.
I remember that lol
Once Victor leaves I can promise you will loose hundreds of viewers. No Victor No Young and Restless I rush home from dialysis just to eat and watch yr😥😢 very sad
I think they would lose Thousands of viewers 🤔
This is Ridiculous! First Jason (Aka: Steve Burton), off GH, and Now Victor Newman (Aka Eric Braden), I’ve watched (Or Recorded) all my show since the 70’s when Y&R first began. Watched Nikki grow from a stripper to the sophisticated wife of Victor Newman. And now he is leaving the Show? Wake Up Y&R, you could loose a lot of viewers over this! Eric Braden is Victor Newman!!!! Make her does NOT LEAVE Y&R
He should leave, he makes over a million dollars every time he walks on that set. Give the other actors more time on that show to better their characters. Take off Nikki cause she makes over a million too.
When Victor leaves I leave Y&R also.
I agree with you and all the others that are saying if the Victor Newman character leaves, then a bunch of we faithful fans will no longer watch. I’ve been watching since I was a child. I started watching in 77.. I’m 56 years old now. He makes the show. With his character gone possibly for good… good luck with that. I mean, if the show is going to try to recast him.. Hmm? Good luck with that too.
No!! Neither one of them should leave the show because they make the show!!
Without them on there, there won’t be A Young and The Restless period!!!
If they take Victor or Nikki off of there, I won’t be watching it anymore!!!!
Soap is not the same when you get rid of the people who make it interesting to watch.
That’s not true..where do you get numbers like that?? Absurd.
Mr Bell u better double victory salary and beg him back or loose the show fore good.
Yup 👍
There is no show without Victor. He is THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. The show will lose most if not all of its fans if he goes.
I will quit watching the show to and I have been watching since my mother started to watch it and I am 65 years old. Don’t quit the show
They we’ll lose a lot of watchers
👍🏽 Yessssss Fans look forward to Victor he really makes the show! However, there are a few other’s that you might consider lol
Well said. Very true.
If Victor leaves The Young and the Restless, I will stop watching it!
Dang it. I have watched the soap since YnR started. Victor Newman will surely be missed!
I’ve been watching y&r since the 80s without victor, shows not gonna be the same wow “I’m done 😒
I guess Everything is going up. Rent. Electricity., Food, Gas etc. We need a raise why not give him a raise. He deserves it. He is so handsome, I love to hear him speak . I guess Y& R will be finished. I’ve watched him so long . Now retired . Why will he need less money is because Diane came back. Everyone should get a raise. Not cut back.
The Bell family will really let Eric Braeden
Walk? What are they stupid? This man has been the staple of Y&R for almost 50 years? And they’re haggling with Mr. Braeden over money?
Man! Somebody needs to rattle the brains of these younger Bell family members tell ’em to wake up! A show doesn’t let the lead man walk out! That’s ludicrous! Poor decision making!
👍🏽
I cldnt’ve said it better Myself!!!👏
I’ve been watching Y&R since I was a little girl iconic Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)is the show if he leaves it will
never be the same… Probably will lose interest in the Y&R.
Ovetta do not take Victor Newman off of young and notice I like watching him be ruthless and it won’t be the same to watch me Young and the restless so give him what he want but y’all take out the good people’s office and I agree with the rest of the people
I’m thinking they want more young blood on the show. I’ve watched Y&R since it came on as well. Please keep him as Victor is the Y&R
Amen to that
He can’t leave the show
It said he’s not leaving just taking a break a while.
This was actually years ago when Eric Breadon had a contract dispute and back then it wouldn’t have hurt it much because Catherine was still on it
That’s what I understand too. Taking a break.
I have been saying for months that I thought Eric Braeden would soon be retiring. I have thought he was having trouble remembering his lines and whenever he enters a scene, he sits down right away. Today, April 14th, he walked into Adam’s office and walked immediately to Adam’s desk chair and sat down. Adam sat in the guest chair at his own desk. Sally stood up the whole time. I have suspected Victor’s dialog was made available on a laptop or some small device for Victor could it if necessary. Sorry to see him go.
That doesn’t mean anything, he deserves a right to sit down and I do not think he is forgetting his lines.
If Victor on Days can do it, Victor on Y&R can do it😊
I find myself doing things so different than I used too. Started watching Y&R in 1978, still watch to this day. Yes getting old sucks, give Victor some time off. Don’t worry he’ll be back. Besides my boa constrictor is named Victor Newman and he’ll live another 20 years! He was great in Rat Patrol too.
Yes no one could replace Victor…it will be a sad day when he leaves …he needs to stay on
Do you all get paid for writing this stuff? You should proof read before putting it out there for everyone to read.
That is really sad.. Im sure some fans will stop watching..I’m curious how he’s going to exit.. Whether he will be replaced or die.. I’m hoping Victoria doesn’t exit too.. This whole exiting thing is very upsetting..
YES! Very upsetting, you all will be making a HUGE MISTAKE letting Eric go the Y&R Is NOTHING without him, watch the ratings go down all because of some measly dollars, pay the Man He deserves it…do you even realize how many fans love, adore and support Eric Braden, y’all REALKY NEED TO RETHINK😩😏
Hello it’s a soap opera
Not real life!!!!!
So!
I’m pretty sure we all know this??? 🤷🏻♀️. However, some folks can still protest the exiting of a very loved veteran Y&R actor. It does NOT mean that we can’t distinguished the difference btwn reality and fictional characters and places/ story lines. Have a BLESSED day 🙏🏼
🙋🏻♀️💯🙋🏻♀️
👏🏻 Yeah👏🏿
I know. There’s like a sense of sadness, a bit of emptiness… if you will… about the exiting of these characters. ESPECIALLY the exiting of the Victor Newman character. He’s an 81 year old man. I’m sure he needs and deserves a break. Hopefully he’ll return after the 5 weeks rearing to take on the world again. Or at least just take on Genoa City, Wisconsin. Lol. He’ll be deeply missed. Not too sure if I’ll continue watching if he exits for good. Victor Newman IS Y & R
I love the young and the restless.. I watch it to see victor have the situation figured out before the next person start thinking.. .. if victor leave surly everyone know the rate is going to fall..!!
How many people will stay just to watch the two ***** and the other bad actors sence victor is gone.?
I will stop watching if Victor leaves!!! Just pay the guy what he deserves! Nothing less! You let Victor go, we ALL GO!!! Not fair to him or his forever fans!
I agree 👍 💯 please let him stay!! Show won’t be the same “this is not fair!!
If victor leaves the young and the restless that soap will be over. I will never watch it at all !!!! If you know what is best you will keep victor!!!!
I agree 👍 💯 please let him stay!! Show won’t be the same “this is not fair!!
They could get rid of at least half of the cast and I would not miss them. But not Victor! I only watch one soap and that is Y&R and that’s because Victor’s reaction’s are so suspenseful! Don’t let him go! Please!!!
💯💯💯
This show will tank if Victor leaves. Better rethink this decision
One more thought! My opinion as a viewer is that if the show is to go on after Eric does leave they would have to fill his shoes with Adam! He could go the distance as he is a chip off the old hard cores block! I would continue to tune in.
If that happens don’t waste cbs time because y’all won’t have a show so leave big boy Vic there🙏😊e
Victor is who makes the show
What y&r needs is some new story writers it don’t take but a minute to figure out the story line and stop dragging things out!
Like everyone else, been watching for years. He was and still a main charter, weather he has to leave for illness or retiring it won’t be the same. It would be a honor to have watched him or to have meant him. Keep him as long as you can. The Newman family will miss him and my family will too.
Victor Newman, you are the show. If you go, my entire family and myself will go as well. We’ve watched Y&R for a very long time. We love you Victor Newman ❤
I love Eric Braden… stellar actor….however
All good things must come to an end…
Let him leave with dignity…. Adam will step up….. just saying….
First things first, no Victor on Y&R is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Give Eric what he’s worth. Victor is “Y&R!!!!!!!! Let’s start a petition
He should leave, he makes over a million dollars every time he walks on that set. Give the other actors more time on that show to better their characters. Take off Nikki cause she makes over a million too.
I have no problem if he left. He has served his time. For me I believe it’s Adam’s time to be the power house and with Sally it can be do awesome!
No way. I can’t
Stand that girl
I can’t stand her either
They should be booting Sally off the show instead of Victor !!!!! 😡
I hate her. I agree 100%
Give Eric Braden what he wants! Without him on Y&R, I will stop watching! He is the show. Get rid of the garbage, ie, Tessa, Mariah, and all the writers. What Satanic story lines are next, Porno???Making a mockery out of the sanctitude of marriage!
Um, HELLO! Y & R is NOTHING without Eric Braden. His role on the soap is largely due its success…..
Well I do not understand, first you say he is leaving for just 5 weeks just to take some time off. Then you say he is leaving for good! Which is it? I so hope he is not leaving for good, he had been on the show almost from the beginning. I know because I have watched the show from day one!
He deserves a raise.
This is to clear that He is not leaving, He is just taking 5 week leave from The Young and The Restless
Agree 100% What a bad move on CBS. No respect!!
No no no. Not CBS – Sony……
I’ve watched Y&R since I was a young kid. Victor Newman has always been the most dominant and influential character on the show. I do believe with his absence would be the demise of of Y&R.
If you take Victor Newman off Young and the restless.You might as well just take it off the air
This is a ridiculous post. It’s a rewrite from two or three years ago when there were questions about renewing Eric Braeden’s contract. The rewrite is very poor – there are grammar errors, spelling errors, punctuation errors, timing errors, conflicting messages. Last air day is in November? That’s 7 months away! I don’t understand the purpose of this post.
I watched the show since the beginning with the Brooks & Fosters & Chancellor’s. When Catherine died I was thinking about leaving. Then Jill left and I was disappointed. Then Neal died I was sad again. However I kept watching. Now that that whench Diane Jenkins came back from the dead. I am pissed! They brought people back from the dead on Days of Our Lives and I quit watching it. So if Victor/Eric leaves because they are cutting his payment instead of his health or he’s wanting to retire I am gone too! I am tired of the way huge companies want to reduce payments to their employees so the CEO can get a huge bonus. Do they think I am gullible and will continue to watch if they take money away from him….HELL NO I WILL GO!
Victor is the man me and my husband love Victor Newman I don’t think it would be worth watching if Victor Newman leaves the show
I will no longer watch Y&R if Victor leaves
he is the show!! Have been watching him
since he started! Give him what he wants
wise up!
Let him go.
Keep Robert Newman.
Eric Braden aka Victor Newman just turned 81 at the beginning of April so is he retiring ?If he is he probably will leave turmoil behind.
I think that because of this veteran actor being as loyal as he has been to y & r along with being a great actor basically carrying this soap since it’s beginning that he deserves more respect and salary than he’s being given. He’s held up this soap, now it’s time to repay him for that. I can assure you that if you loose him, you’ll loose lots of fans. It would behoove y’all to give him what he wants, and keep him.
Yes give Victor what he wants Victor Newman is the show ….he has carried this show for so long…. Victor rock…
VICTOR NEWMAN leaving, are you serious????? If you want to see CBS day time fan base go down, just let Victor leave because I don’t think the Y&R fans that leave will automatically “run” to B&B. My thoughts!!😯
I want Victor to stay. He is the show. I’ll except if he leaves it’s because he wants to retire. I think he deserves better then they are treating him. Give him what he wants. He keeps us watching the show. He deserves respect for making the show what it is today.
I have watched the young and restless Since the beginning for years ever since The beginning of young in the restless Victor is a very good active I would be very sad if he left him at some time off don’t Cut his pay give him his money that he deserves he is an excellent actor I have watched him in the bonanzas and different western shows that he has played in the past everyone is right if he left I don’t think anyone would be watching the young and the restless you guys would not have a show if he leaves so please give the veteran actor his done his due diligence and all the other actors that have been on there for years thank you CBS For the young and the restless
They should just let be Victor is one of the best actors on Y&R
Victor is my favorite actor I’ve been watching him for over 45 years he’s a wonderful actor Y&R will not be the same without him
He’s better than that to take a pay cut
They will loss all their ratings if Victor leaves
Victor is the best person that ever happened to Y&R
I will not watch Y&R if Victor leave 🥵😡
I have been watching The Young and the restless from the dead started. I think if you take Victor out you’re going to lose a lot of people. You can’t keep taking the big stars out you had a great storyline going with Kyle and Summer Chelsea and Adam. Victoria and Ashland. Please don’t take all of them away you lose a lot of interest taking some of the bigger Stars they’ve been there for a long time. I’m not a writer by any means but I know a lot of people and I’ve gotten a lot of people to watch The Young and the restless through the years. There’s a lot of us in Minnesota that want to continue to watch The Young and the restless as so much is depleting on TV. Just a little heads up I hope it helps.
Like everyone else i have been a super fan for years to the point people knew not to disrupt me when ynr was on. I have been mad as hell at Victor but he truly is a giant part of the show. I quit watchung the bold and beautiful because of bring back Shelia and Deacon. If Eric goes the i will have to move on also. Love the Newma n family, love me some Nicholas. But i will say good YNR. Good luck without him. By the way i can’t stand Sally and didnt like her on BNB either.
I’m with you. Deacon & Sheila should go back under their rocks!
They need to pay him what he’s worth He makes the show it would not be a show without him there stupid executives are stupid than they pay other people being the dollars to do bulshit
I’ll use Y&R names. You have veteran actors on this show. If Victor isn’t being treated fairly, unfortunately, he should consider leaving. Also, they’re a package deal. Nick, Victoria and Nicky. Yes! I love other cast members but be real.
I’ll say my good bye ✌️ now. I purchased Paramount plus to watch, I’ll be saving about $140 a year. No current Newmans no audience.
Peace ☮️ out.
If Victor leaves I will stop watching the program !! He makes the show along with his family. I will not watch it without them. We need Victor and Jack’s family.
I agree with EVERYONE ELSE if ERIC B. decides to retire on his own then I’m okay with it, BUT if it’s because Y&R doesn’t want to give him a pay increase (not really sure if that’s what this is about since Eric’s note said he was trying to work w/ them but they weren’t willing to do the same) but either way pay increase or other incentives, give him what he deserves anyone who works ANYWHERE FOR 35+ years and puts in the kind of performance he has put in DESERVES an increase of some kind every time his contact comes up for renewal in my opinion. Think of yourself if it were you (and this includes all the executive producers and BELLS) if you had worked at the same company for 35+ years and they told you sorry we know you’ve been with us this length of time but we’re going to pay this 25 year old instead of you an increase (especially when they either aren’t as good as actor as you OR don’t have anywhere near the storyline that you do – in this particular situation) how would you feel, wouldn’t you tell them goodbye (to put it nicely). GIVE THE MAN WHAT YOU WOULD GIVE YOURSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION MR. BELL or whatever ignoramus made this horrible mistake.
I HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW SINCE DAY 0NE.WHat is it without Victor or Jack.i don’t think I would be interested.
You people suck…. trying to shame a person’s spelling error!! You should be ashamed with your old, judgmental ass. It must be really, really nice to be perfect!
No Victor I,m done
Yes, Victor has been with the show for a long long time and if he’s 81 like someone said, yes he’s gradually getting up in age and eventually we’re going to lose him,if he should pass away what then, so all of you are saying you’ll stop watching young and the restless, I feel the same way to, who will be the one to replace him when his time come, so what if he makes millions of dollars he’s earned it and he’s been there a long time if it’s just for five weeks OK, but remember when he passes away like Mrs. Chancellor did what will we/ they do. I watch the show for so so many years.
Victor leaving! No way. He is the mighty Victor.
A more appropriate announcement would be is that the show is changing its name to Victor Newman and the Young & Restless!! No other announcement will do. Don’t you know by now there is no Y&R without Victor Newman. Isn’t it enough that Catherine Chancellor and John Abbot is gone? Leave us at least one Legend. Give the man whatever he asks for because he is worth it and more. Victor Newman is beloved! No Victor? NO Y&R!
No Victor…. No show. End of story. It is to my understanding he isn’t asking for a raise but only asking not to be cut in pay…. Better fix it fast.
What does this say about Y&R producers?? This sounds like bad business for them to reduce his pay!! I suggest you keep him on at the pay rate he’s accumulated!! Victor is one of the main (backbone) characters, if you let him walk away because of greed, you will LOSE A LOT of viewers, including myself!! If you need to compensate, get rid of one of the newer characters!!
I have watched Y&R since the beginning, Eric Braeden is 1 in a million, give him what he wants, if no Victor then I quit watching. The Bells’ need to listen to the public input, if no viewers then no money for them.
Victor is the show. If he leaves it won’t be a good soap opera anymore. I been watching him on the show since I was in my early twenties.Give him a raise he deserves it.
I graduated high school in 1980 & have been watching Y & R ever since. Eric Braeden “IS” the glue that has always held this show together. It saddens me to think of you no longer being on the show… I absolutely love watching you Eric…. whatever Eric wants he deserves think of all the $$$ he has made for this show. He DOES NOT deserve a decrease in salary. Love u Eric ♥️
No Victor, no me. I’ve been watching Y&R since the first episode. He is Y&R.
If Eric Braeden leaves Y&R, I will no longer be watching. He makes this show real. I watched the very first episode and have been watching ever since. I know he wasn’t on in the beginning, but let’s not take him off now. I loved him when he first started and I love him even more today.
To many great actors are leaving young and the restless. Is bad enough. If Victor leaves it will for sure be devastating for the show. I really hate to see Ray is leaving and summer is being recasted. Looks like it’s time for me to move on to something new to.
