‘The Young and the Restless’ News: Eric Braeden Addresses Rumors That Victor Newman is Leaving Y&R – Confirms Status

Arguably The Young and the Restless’ most important and best known actor, Eric Braeden, has been plagued with rumors that Victor Newman is leaving Y&R. Rumors of this sort often begin when a soap star is involved in a deep and dark storyline, especially as the ‘bad guy.’ Fans, often a bit hysterically, imagine that since their star is being painted into a plot corner, that they only way out is death or prison.

Victor Newman fulfills all of the above criteria on Y&R these days. The Fake Jack plot of which he is mastermind is not something that The Moustache will be able to walk from simply. Even ignoring the two recent murders (Austin and Courtney), in which Victor might be tangentially involved, at this point Mr. Newman is guilty of conspiracy to kidnap, kidnapping, theft, fraud and a host of other seriously felonies. When the house of cards Victor has masterminded comes crashing down there is seemingly no way he will be able to avoid lengthy prison time, or worse!

So we see why fans fear that Victor Newman might be leaving The Young and the Restless – there is no easy or clear storyline at this point that will let the old smoothly slide out from the legal wrath he will face after the inevitable bust. Fortunately Eric Braeden took to Twitter on April 15 to address a loyal fan’s concerns that he was leaving Y&R. As you can see in the tweet below the wonderfully talented Eric made clear in his unequivocally firm manner that all these rumors of Victor Newman’s impending departure are just that, mere rumors. Phew! We can’t imagine a Young and the Restless without Victor pulling the strings of the Genoa City charcters from behind the scenes.
