What’s the Latest on Eric Braeden’s Victor Leaving Young & Restless?

Numerous rumors are circulating that Eric Braeden is leaving The Young and the Restless. After a recent Facebook post went viral, fans are concerned that the actor, who has been associated with the show for decades, is leaving the soap. But are there any bases to these rumors?

Here are the details regarding whether Braeden is leaving the show.

Is Eric Braeden’s Victor leaving The Young and the Restless?

Eric Braeden, who plays Victor Newman, has been on the show since 1980 and has appeared in over 4,000 episodes. Naturally, fans who’ve taken a liking for the actor and his character are worried that he may be retiring from the show now. This frenzy began after a Facebook post on the Young & Restless NextGen group went viral.

The post said, “Eric Braeden Says ‘Goodbye’ on Instagram – Announced His Official Exit From Young and Restless.” It also referred to another article, from which it sourced its information.

This sparked concern among the fans about his exit. While one user said, “NO HE IS YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS,” insinuating that he’s an integral part of the show. Meanwhile, another user said, “But after 40 years, it’s time for a well-deserved downfall,” supporting his exit.

However, the site in question appears to be fan-made and may not be a reliable source of information. As a result, the news about Braeden’s exit is entirely false. Fans can rejoice knowing that the actor will continue playing his role.

In a November 2024 interview with TV Insider, Braeden confirmed that he’s here to stay, as he discussed the complexities of his character. “I realized that from then on, the character would assume enormous complexity, and that’s what attracted me to it,” Braeden shared. “And that’s why I’m still here because you don’t get that kind of character, certainly not on nighttime,” the 84-year-old actor revealed.

Furthermore, going by the spoilers for this week, Victor Newman still has a great future on the show. So, unless the actor or the showmakers announce his departure from the show, he is expected to remain on the show for the foreseeable future.
