Members aMLCproduction Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I love TGVN but his scenes the past few months have been so dry and emotion less. He was great when he had that diease a while back. SO many raw emotions. But now it's so one note and dreary. I don't even like to watch his scenes anymore becasue they lack so much. Is it just me or can anyone else add to this. Is EB getting lazy in his acting. He speaks so soft and says the same things over and over again. Is this the doing of Hogan Sheffer?

Members MTSRocks Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 This is the doing of Eric Braeden. Hot one minute, cold the next. He still has done some incredible work this year, and is probably just bored of playing another round of prison scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I kinda thought that was the point since Sabrina's death that Victor didn't care and was emotion less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 he's always been one note to me. Very overrated actor here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 He's always been one note...which I love. It's a helluva good note. LML's take on 'ill' Victor was just demented. I prefer Victor angry and no BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 One note, dry, and emotionless.... Sounds like Eric Braden's acting for as long as I've been watching. Don't get me wrong, he can be good sometimes, but like Maurice Benard on GH, he's incredibly lazy, thinks too highly of himself, and thinks he can do whatever he wants because of who he is.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've appreciated Y&R for its great soapness for years but honstly Eric and his charater are prob THE single thing that keeps me from fully becoming a fan. I realize how beloved and important he is--I just find him an obnoxious, arrogant, suit who speaks slowly and lowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm with you Eric. Half of what he says is unintelligble.Watching Ashley fawn over him,and his children being grateful that he deigns to accept them,is too much. In my book he has gone from being a love to hate character to just plain intolerable. Victor should no longer be the leading man on the show. A father,grandfather and businessman-yes,but the be all and end all of Genoa City NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted December 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I loved EB under LML. But it's like he attacks and degrades his family and just as soon as he finds out Jack did him wrong, he calls his son to say jump and Nick replies with how high dad. Give me a break. I am just tired of this dry ass Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I hate that it eventually all comes down to Victor. He will overstep anyone he has to and he will do whatever he wants because he's Victor Newman. It only makes me wish he wouldn't get back with Nikki unless he gets a heart one day. Also, it's stupid to make it clear that both Adam and Heather will go down just because Victor wants them down. I guess that's how Jack feels all the time.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 As much as Victor and Eric Braden have bugged me for years, I hated the s-hit LML made him do. That whole blackout and best friends with Jack crap was total character assassination. At least this Victor is a lot closer to the one right before LML, even if he's intolerable. Victor just shouldn't be some saint-like figure, eww. Victor's been degrading women and his children for years, which is nothing new though.

Members MTSRocks Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 I disagree, one good thing that LML did was re-establish the character of Victor Newman. Eric Braeden had a banner year under her IMO. The problem was that LML's stories went nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Oh my gosh. I loved that surprising change of pace to death--excusing that a forehead (frontal lobe) butt would have been UNLIKELY to cause TEMPORAL lobe epilepsy. And that epilepsy would have caused that level of delusion and hallucination and personality change. Ignoring the neurological reality, the story was surprising, funny, and sweet (Nikki taking care of Victor, who only wanted to retire and see the "100 Places To See Before You Die"). The story, like all of LML's, went bad...but it was a delight to me for several months. Indeed, it restored my love for Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
