Eric Braeden Breaks Silence On Shocking Cast Shakeups

Eric Braeden usually doesn’t get involved in the day-to-day politics at The Young and the Restless, but now he’s speaking out on some casting changes that have rocked the show.

The Emmy winner, who has played Victor Newman on the top-rated soap for decades, broke his silence Friday morning with a series of tweets about the cast shakeups over the last year.

He voiced his displeasure on the exits of Doug Davidson (Paul), Christian LeBlanc (Michael), Greg Rikaart (ex-Kevin), and Eileen Davidson (Ashley).

Braeden acknowledges that Eileen is leaving of her own choice. Currently the actor is visiting his native Germany, but clearly, he’s staying on top of things through social media.

He also called Doug Davidson’s firing an “egregious mistake” in a separate tweet.

Will him going public with his displeasure change things? Stay tuned to find out!
