Eric Braeden Signs a Deal!

Eric BraedenWhen it comes to Eric Braeden and The Young and the Restless, all's well that ends well!

 

The 68-year-old actor, who last week said he had "pulled the plug" on contract negotiations that would keep him on board as Young and the Restless icon Victor Newman, has finally come to an agreement with show producers. A representative for Eric confirms the deal with TheWrap.com.

 

Eric's last day of shooting prior to the breakdown of negotiations was September 23rd, when he filmed scenes that will air November 2nd. No word yet on how or when his character will return to Genoa City, but with his health and family life in flux, we're sure there's a plausible explanation to be had somewhere! For now, we're just thrilled that this casting crisis was averted -- Y&R without Victor Newman? That's like Victor Newman without a moustache. All KINDS of wrong.

 

Are you happy to have Eric back?

Good job Young and the Restless for keeping E. Braeden on board. He works hard for his money.

I am glad Victor is back, but I also believe that he needs to pay for some the devious stunts that he has pulled over the years. He always seems to get away with it. As for Adam, I am so sick and tired of him. It is time to bring him down. He is such a good, conniving liar. I am glad that Lily and Cane are back together. Then there's Jack. Sometimes I feel so sorry for him. There are times he makes me proud and then he turns around and disappoints me. When will he ever learn. Under no uncertain terms do I want Sharon and Nick back together. Nick needs someone like Phyllis. Sharon is too soft. Finally, who is this person that is pulling Deacon and Kevin's brother coattail? Who is playing the mother? Is it Sheila resurrecting from the dead? Hmm

WHEN IS HE COMING BACK

Yea!!!! Good news for us Y&R fans and E. Braeden. All it takes is a little push sometimes, uh? Who is this mystery person that Damien and his partner in crime (can't think of the character's name at the moment, Kevin's so called brother)? All I know, it's going to an interesting stroy line, I bet?

Yah, Eric is staying. I have been watching the Young & the Restless since day 1. You deserve every Emmy that you've won over the years.
As for Adam. He has confessed so much to Sharon except the one important fact that Faith is really her child and not Ashleys.
Jack should get his since he finally confessed to Victor that he helped write that diary of a killer in order to put Victor in prison.
Someone needs to step on Billy Abbott. He really is a jerk. Mac needs to walk away from that single minded ,self serving jerk that he is. Mac deserves a whole lot better then Billy Abbott.
No one should ever stop a person from doing something good for someone else if they know that it will make their lives better as in the case of Lilly and Cane and Mac carrying the baby for them. A baby is the greatest gift ever for someone who has lost the ability to have one themselves as in what happened to Lilly and having Cancer.
Thank you for the years of a great story to the writers of this soap. I'll keep watching. Keep up the great job.

There are millions of families that do not have an "Adam" as a family member. Where did he come from? Who created him? Who came up with the story lines that associated with this person? He could not have learned his behavior from his mother, neighbors in the farm community,animals on the farm. in sunday school. in public school or college. He did not live with Victor to pick up on his evil ways. Could he be brain damaged? Could he be Satan's sparn? How can all of the wrongs that he has caused be corrected without hurting the story lines and destroying other lives. P ersonally, I'd like to see him sent back to the farm as a totally blind person who comes up with ways and means of helping others that are on a path of destroying their lives and those around them.

I am glad that Victor is back but, I would like to see a person who would be equally as dominate created to be his equal but in a good way. John Abbott could have been made to be his equal but he had his hands tied trying to keep Jack in check, running Jabot and keeping all of the other Abbotts in check.This new person could be Ashley's new husband giving him the insight needed to bring Victor down. As long as Victor is allowed to get away with murder all of the time, your viewers will never let him retire because deep down they want to be him. Lets see if you can come up with this person who can give him a run for his money.
