As a gamer who has been following soap operas for decades, I can say with certainty that the speculation about Eric Braeden leaving The Young and the Restless has been a rollercoaster ride for fans. Having witnessed Victor Newman’s journey since 1980, it feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. However, after delving into the details, it seems that the rumors might be just that – rumors.
There’s buzz among fans that Eric Braeden, known for his role as Victor on The Young and The Restless, might be departing due to rumored contract disputes. Originally joining the cast in 1980 with a brief stint in mind, Braeden quickly became a beloved character and integral part of the show’s narrative. Given his long tenure spanning over 40 years, fans find it hard to imagine life on the series without him. However, the question remains: is the speculation about his departure accurate? Here are the facts.
Is Eric Braeden’s Victor Newman leaving The Young and the Restless?
It appears that neither Braeden nor CBS has provided any updates regarding Victor Newman leaving the show. Since there’s no confirmed information, it seems like Victor may still be a part of the series.
Reports of Braeden leaving seem to originate from his comment in Entertainment Weekly, implying there was no deal made with CBS. Negotiations ensued, but it seems Braeden demonstrated adaptability. Regrettably, CBS didn’t show signs of wanting to strike a conclusive agreement.
He also mentioned, “That’s all there is to it. No more. If I demonstrate kindness, I expect the same in return. If there’s an inflexible stance from the other side, what’s left to discuss? That’s a clear disregard. I won’t engage in negotiations with those who remain distant and arrogant about the situation. Not after 30 years, I won’t do that.” However, he did show respect for his fellow cast members and the crew, acknowledging their hard work on the show, as well as for head writer Maria Bell.

Initially, there was ambiguity about whether his character would come back or not on the show. Yet, later in October, news broke out that Braeden had made a deal with CBS, and according to his representative, he was set to rejoin the series. (As reported by Soaps.sheknows)
Apart from the disagreements, fans have been speculating about Braeden’s potential comeback due to their worries over his health concerns. You see, last year, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. However, just a few months later, he was declared cancer-free. But this year, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he mentioned that his diagnosis is still uncertain. Despite this, it appears he won’t be leaving The Young and the Restless. So, we’ll have to wait and see how they handle his character storyline on the show.
