Eric Braeden FINALLY RETURNS To The Young and the Restless!

The Young and the Restless fans are getting a holiday gift a few days ahead of Christmas as Eric Braeden finally tells us when we’ll be seeing Victor again!

After the official Y&R Instagram account posted a photo of Braeden and leading lady Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) and said that he’s coming back, Braeden tweeted a screenshot, saying he’ll be back on air specifically on Friday, December 21.

The fan favorite’s been absent for too long! The actor shared that he was taking some time off from the show in the late summer, so he could travel to his native Germany for an extended vacation.

Victor’s absence from the canvas wasn’t addressed until recently when characters mentioned him being in Dubai on business.

We did see The Mustache via video conference with Nick last week, but there’s still nothing like having Victor back in GC.

The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
