VICTOR IS FIRED FROM Y&amp;R

Eric Braeden out as Y&amp;R's Victor Newman is written out

The Young and the Restless without Eric Braeden's Victor Newman? It may seem unthinkable to fans of the CBS soap, but the unthinkable just became reality. A contract flap between Braeden and show execs has prompted the show to write out Victor and Nikki. Will either return? A rep says maybe not.


The Young and the Restless is grappling with yet another high-profile contract stalemate. After weeks of tense negotiations, talks between show executives and Emmy winner Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) have broken off. As a result, the top-rated CBS soap has written out the iconic patriarch of the Newman family.


TVGuide Canada's Nelson Branco reports that the impasse with Braeden is nearly identical to that with Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) earlier this year: the show wants the actors to accept a salary cut in the middle of an already-negotiated contract.


&quot;Actors like Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott, who this past summer was written out after she balked over the same issue, are furious; not over the fact that they are being asked to take pay cuts, but that they are being expected to re-negotiate their contracts during their 13-week cycles,&quot; Branco reports. &quot;It is important to note that they are willing to take pay cuts but at the end of their contracts.&quot;

Earlier this month, The Young and the Restless put out a casting call for the role of &quot;Tucker,&quot; described as a 40-to-50-something billionaire with a dark side. The casting call, coupled with reports that talks between Braeden and show brass were not going well, set off a firestorm of speculation. Reports surfaced that Tucker was the show's covert attempt to replace Braeden.


The show issued a prompt statement to deny claims that a new Victor might soon be popping up in Genoa City.


&quot;This not a scare tactic. Tucker is a new character, not a Victor Newman recast,&quot; a show spokesperson said.


While the show also notes that it has not yet cast the role of Tucker, soapcentral.com has learned that Y&amp;R execs want a &quot;big name&quot; star for the role. Tucker is slated to debut sometime in November.


Meanwhile, on what could turn out to be his final day on the set, an emotional Braeden reportedly stunned his castmates by announcing his departure.


According to Branco, Braeden informed &quot;the cast [that] he may not come back and thanked the cast and crew for decades of memories.&quot;


Whether or not Braeden ever returns remains very much in doubt, and even the actor's rep isn't offering much light at the end of the tunnel.


&quot;Eric is in talks with the show,&quot; the rep tells soapcentral.com. &quot;He may or may not be back.&quot;


Technically, Braeden's contact isn't up until next year. The show exercised its option at the end of Braeden's most recent 13-week cycle to write out Victor. For now, Victor and Nikki will leave Genoa City for vacation. It's assumed that Nikki will return a short time later. What will happen to Victor is unclear.


Eric Braeden made his debut on The Young and the Restless in 1980. In 1998, the actor earned his very first Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Lead Actor field. He has five additional nominations in the category. In 2007, Braeden was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Eric Braeden talks about shocking ‘Y&amp;R’ exit</span></span>
Actor has played mogul Victor Newman on top-rated soap since 1980
By Lynette Rice
Entertainment Weekly
updated 7:07 p.m. ET, Wed., Oct . 7, 2009

In yet another blow to the already ailing soap opera world, Eric Braeden, the venerable star of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, has exited the top-rated daytime drama after a nasty negotiation with Sony.

The production company wanted the popular actor to take a pay cut for playing mega-mogul Victor Newman, but Braeden — who’s been on the soap since 1980 — opted to leave instead.

Barring any last-minute change, Braeden’s final episode will air on Nov. 2. Reps for Sony and CBS had no comment, though one insider indicated that no further talks are planned.

EW talked with Braeden, 68, about Sony’s decision to exercise a draconian clause in his contract (his deal that was set to expire in November 2010 can still be renegotiated every 26 weeks) and what it means to the future of daytime dramas.

EW: Where do things stand? Did your representative counter Sony’s offer and you have yet to hear an answer?

Braeden: Precisely.

EW: As of today, are you willing to take what Sony offered?

Braeden: No. There is no appreciation of the fact that I’ve been an important part of the show for 27 years that has been no. 1 in the ratings. That’s extraordinary. So to be dealt with in a perfunctory matter as if you had just known these people for a few months is what is most offensive. This is a certain corporate culture now that is very deleterious.

EW: Is it true you offered to take a pay cut before?

Braeden: I was the first one [to offer] because I knew that if we all did it, we would insure the continuation of the show. I did it two years ago when I signed my last contract, which I thought would last until next November.

EW: Did you say your on-set goodbyes?

Braeden: I said this could be a long goodbye, and I may not see you for a long time. Who knows? I’m not saying I’ve been let go – we’re still negotiating. But it feels like that.

EW: What does this say about the state of the industry when a production company is asking the star of the No. 1 show in daytime to take a pay cut? Should everyone be worried?

Braeden: Yes, though it depends on what the star does. All options are open right now. What can I tell you? I know there are certain economic realities that dictate the actions they are taking right now, but the manner in which its being done is most insulting.

EW: You taped your last episode on Sept. 23. Was that the way you wanted Victor to go?

Braeden: No. It was rushed. It was obviously meant to intimidate. It was obviously done with enormous forethought to coincide with the end of the 26-week cycle. Essentially that is what the business is doing now and has been doing for a while. And quite frankly, it’s outrageous. When I sign a three-year deal, I’m obligated to fulfill that deal. The producers, however, can come to me after a half-year and say, “We’ve changed our minds.” Where in the world of business does this kind of contract exist? Do I blame the people for wanting to squeeze as much out of us as they can? I do not. The question is, when do you squeeze too much?

EW: Would you do another daytime drama?

Braeden: I doubt that. Never say never in this business or in life, but I doubt that.

EW: Can you see the genre still existing in 10 years?

Braeden: Yes I can. How many reality shows can you watch? They’re so obviously phony. Our show deals with adult problems in a long continuous manner, and very much like the way things are dealt with in real life. In that sense I think there will always be a need for (soaps). They’re almost novelistic in their approach.

Re: dont EFF! with victor

what just ran thru my mind is at his age where will he get a steady acting job that will pay him even what he would be earning with a pay cut?

unless he just is going to retire at this point - the move kinda makes me shake my head. It isnt like jobs are plentiful as a rule currently.
