Victor Newman is really leaving Genoa City, y’all! In an ‘exclusive’ to Entertainment Weekly, Eric Braeden tells them that it’s over:
“We reached an impasse in the negotiations,” Braeden told EW.com. “I have shown flexibility, they have shown none. It is over. I pulled the plug. That’s it. No more. If I show good will, I expect it to be reciprocated. If there is a rigid attitude on the other side, what is there to to negotiate? That’s a sign of utter disrespect. I will not negotiate with people who remain aloof and arrogant about the whole thing. Not after 30 years, I won’t do that. I’m saying this with a great amount of sadness because I’ve had nothing but respect for my fellow cast members, I have deep respect for the crew who has done an extraordinary job year in and year out, and I have enormous respect for (head writer) Maria Bell.”
Strangely, I feel genuinely sad.
Anything is possible but my not so fearless prediction, Y&R is over by 2012. What’s the point now?
I with you, Moni, I bet you with the state of the current writing team and bad actors on the show, YR is done by 2012.
This is so wrong ! Please EB ! Stay ! I’ll send u a pack of black shirts from Wal-Mart if u do ! U know u want tooooooooo !
Well contrary to popular belief on some MBs Ebs VN is a very popular character. Especialy with the blue haired ladies who do not go online or read spoilers. The vets are all they have and once they see Victor gone I think they will to.
Thank u wicked ! U know full well that the ladies in the home are going to have a fit. And yes, not every soap fan goes online to run their mouth (like I do) so there is most likely a “silent majority” out there that loves them so VN and EB in the role.
All I can say is good…VN (the character) is nothing but a bully and hasn’t (imo) brought much of anything to the Y&R for some time. EB (the person) is a very ineffective actor. He is so one dimensional and unyielding. He is a whinner and acts like a spoiled child.
I am a long time viewer (from the start of the Y&R)and have watched the character push and bully people around all these years, enough is enough. I say thank you Sony for giving him the push!!
