Y&R Wild Speculation: Is Victor’s Assault Eric Braeden’s Swan Song?!

An attack on Victor has The Young and the Restless (YR) fans wondering if this is it for the most famous leading man in soap opera history.

A Deadly Attack?
An epic confrontation turns to blows with Victor dishing out some street justice until things go way too far. In fact, some are saying the fall may be deadly!

Is Braeden Leaving Y&R?
While these wild stories of Braeden leaving the show have been around for years this time seems different. The superstar is usually fast on his feet shutting down the tall tales but lately, he’s been radio silent about what the future holds.

The Fallout Will Shake Things Up!
Letting go of the Newman powerhouse would leave many storylines up in the air. The battle for Victor’s throne would become an outright war in the aftermath of him demoting Victoria and boosting Ashley’s office pull.

It would also leave Nikki one lost soul. Sure, she and Victor haven’t been intimate in years but losing Victor this way at this point in her life could have Nikki spin out of control.

The characters of Genoa City have a lot to lose and a lot to gain if The Mustache isn’t around. As the power shifts everyone will be fighting tooth and nail to become the next all seeing, all knowing, and the most powerful person in town!
