Eric Braeden out due to Contract negotiations Here we go again: According to set side sources, Y&R is writing out Victor Newman during Eric Braeden’s tumultuous contract negotiations around August. “It’s not going well,” says a mole. “The sticking point isn’t necessarily money but his guarantee.” In order to keep Braeden in line this time around (he bolted two years ago in a story I broke for TV Guide.ca and went on a media blitz prompting Braeden to embark on a media blitz tour after he refused to take a pay cut), the show decided write off TGVN in a surprising, inventive way that may redeem the controversial Shictor debacle. But don’t quote me on that until I see how it translates onscreen. This probably explains why Braeden decided to attend the Daytime Emmy Awards, which he hasn’t done in forever, to increase his profile during this uncertain time. Stay tuned to UNCENSORED for more on this developing story. And yes, I’m experiencing déjà vu again. _________________________________________________________________ Also, Which vixen is headed back to Genoa City… probably with a baby in tow?! cgoff0704 @Sony Edited by Daytime, Jun 26 2012, 03:06 PM.

See! I KNEW IT! They made Victor be a total ass just like they did last time at contract time so that nobody would care if he left. They did it again with this absurd Sharon SL which was just the final nail after the ridiculous Billy vendetta. I hope he doesn't leave but, without EB, Y&R is a wasteland for me. The only two people I would ever accept as playing Victor would be Tom Selleck or Sam Elliot, guess what the chances of that happening are? |

I wonder if EB wants more or less episodes. I love (or loved-since the writing for him, & everyone, totally sucks now) Victor but he and Phyllis are on too often. Too many stories are written around them. I'm just tired of them, I never fast forwarded them but I do now, it's overkill. I'd like to see other Core & Legacy characters have more story, Billy & Victoria, Sharon & Adam/Nick or some nice new young hottie, Jack & Nikki, Jill & Katherine, or Jill & a man- (Colin was hilarious) |

A vixen returning to GC with a potential baby in tow?! Oh please be Diane, please be Diane!! Probably won't be her, but I love Maura West and still say she's alive. |

I honestly thought awhile ago he was leaving when NB said a 'controversial actor' was out. We know PP/Ricky got the boot but that description just never fit him imo. Whose the vixen coming back with a baby possibly? Skye? |

I think Y&R could use a break from Victor so IMO no big deal. He'll be back as usual once the bickering with Sony is finished. |

I hope it's Skye. I've been waiting for her to come back and make Adam's life miserable for the past two years. Just when he thinks he has it all with Chelsea...here comes Skye. Both Adam & Chelsea deserve to deal with some baby drama. Adam caused Ashley's miscarriage and stole Faith while Sharon was in a mental hospital. Never even confessed to Ashley what he did to her baby. The stuff Chelsea pulled with Billy & Victoria bites her in the butt because here comes Adam's own baby mama from hell. |

But how many times has Eric Braden pulled this same stunt? 'I hate the show, so I'll threaten to leave. Oh, wait, I need a job so I won't really leave. I'll just pout a lot.' :tumbleweed: For me, Victor Newman isn't Y&R and actually I think the show might improve if the character left for a while. The writers and Braden have boxed the character in so there's not many things left to explore. I definitely wouldn't mind Sam Elliott on the show or since he was actually 'killed' off on Days, Joseph Mascolo might be looking for a job. There must be other, better, actors in his age group that would love a steady gig. I'm not suggest a recast for Victor but a new character or a different character recast would a welcome relief from Braden pouting every six months. |

Good point. But knowing MAB, there was probably a huge soft/comfy mattress at the bottom of the volcano waiting for Skye to land on :shame: |

Time to give Skye a rest. This bitch has been back from the dead a dozen times. |

I hope EB stays on! But it's not like he's hurting for money, it's the principle of it. Mess with him, piss him off and tell him to take a break, THEN say it was his idea and that he's mad and quitting. What a crock. Then there are actors and actresses who ass kiss and will take any SL to be seen. Ho hum. MAB's ass must be getting chapped from all the kissin. :licklips: |

But didn't they already do that? Didn't Y&R create new character-Tucker in case Victor left? LOL :lol: I could've seen that working if they kept the actor that originated the role, but I can't see it working with Stephen Nichols. Adam would be a stronger male co-lead than the current Tucker, and would he work better against Jack. The Tucker/Jack interaction has been blah :sleep: at best, but I feel Jack's hate of Adam because of what he did to Ashley, and Adam's hate of Jack for framing and having him sent to jail. If they want to beef up an old school character it should be Jill, JW's one of the best actors on the cast and does wonders for the stories she's in. She has a connection to every family and business in Genoa City just like Victor. She'd work well in the business stories with Adam & Jack. Add Colin as her love interest again and that would round out Genvieve. I like GF but don't care for Genvieve at all. She would make more sense to me with Jill and Colin, but I don't understand her as a central character just being Cane's mother, so what? |

I know AF has been sidelined on B&B. Is it possible that Amber along with baby Rosie is going back to Genoa City? |

I didn't think of that... She and Daniel broke up because he didn't want kids, now he has one and so does she.. I could see this happening. |
