There was a Y&R before EB/Victor.

Victor is doing nothing for the ratings he's on nearly everyday with a front burning storyline yet the ratings are in the toilet.

Fans are sick of victor and EB.fans are hoping either he quits due to his contract crap are that JFP fires him.

Every storyline ends the same victor wins and every character in his orbit is ruined to prop him.

The only storyline EB complained about was the colleen transplant story. which has been completely forgotten on the show.

Wasn't the sharon/victor pairing EB idea and he actually pushed for it.

The only person who has said that was Braeden's idea was Branco. I don't think anything in this story has come across as something that makes Victor look good.

Y&R existed before Victor, but as of today all of Y&R has been destroyed, including many areas that don't involve Victor. The decimation of all of the Newman kids, the lack of a younger scene, the disrespect for the Chancellors, the racism, none of that is down to EB, in my opinion.

Oh, no. I neither will support nor endorse any story that has Victor dying and his heirs scrambling for his empire. Not as long as his brood are portrayed by some of the dullest actors in this business.

You mean Adam isn't the new Victor? He said "You got that!" once.

I don't like Victor but he's been made too important to the dynamics of the show to just be cast aside. I know a lot of people online chastise EB and these bloggers IMO exaggerate what their sources tell them to get a rise out of readers, but he's far from the worst problem on Y&R and he does have a huge following.

Absolutely. Victor/EB is an integral part of the show's structure. That isn't too say he should swallow the show alive...but he's far too important to get rid of. He's a tent pole character, just like Katherine, Jill, Nikki, Jack and Paul...those characters all say something different (and important) about Y&R.

Branco's about as reliable as a broken condom.

And as you've said, all of what's wrong with Y&R (bolded above) has NOTHING to do with Eric Braeden, certainly he has an ego and insists on good storyline and presence...but he's an actor, they ALL do that.

Hey Eric Braden, do STFU

One contract negotiation drama too many, alongside his head-in-the-sand defense of disastrous, socialite showrunner Maria Arena Bell, has me saying enough is enough. In the August 27 issue of CBS Soaps In Depth, Braeden blows hard about how wrong Bell's much-needed ouster is for the show. Said Braeden:

"I have no idea why the changes were made, he adds, shaking his head. "The powers in charge have their reasons, but I found it completely upsetting!'

Ugh Braden sometimes I wanna shake his hand after reading an interview other times I wanna punch him in the face. This is one of those punch in the face moments.

Braeden liked Maria because she catered to his every ask and kissed his ass more than anyone else did previously.

JFP will likely not be that way...

Like DC said, she paired him with 30 somethings constantly.

IMO that'll change when JFP comes aboard

Braeden has a right to his opinion. I wish these bloggers would STFU. I read Branco's slanted bullshit also. I can't believe these folks are Ctually making me side with Braeden.

not me, EB is only whining cause his butt kisser was fired

Edited August 16, 201213 yr by dragonflies

I highly doubt EB needs Maria Bell and frankly her writing did him no favors and he DID criticize her writing in print also.

Victor is the only character on Y&R as it stands they can't afford to lose and I don't even like him. Everyone else on the show is disposable. And we all know why these bloggers continue to write about him because they know his name generates hits to their sites.

JFP won't be putting up with his sh!t.

Mostly depends on what those above her say. She put up with a decade of [!@#$%^&*] from Burton, Benard, and Tony Geary at his all time most hideous and arrogant.

Same. If anything, six months from now (if not sooner), EB will likely praise JFP's "improvements" to Y&R as a much-needed breath of fresh air "and the damn closest we have come to being what this show was like under Mr. Bill Bell."

Either way, though, EB does need to STFU already.

I will say that the "30something" pairings with Braeden are not something he may have bragged about. Diane and Sharon were both written as dirty whores. I don't even know if he enjoyed throwing Diane out of the ambulance, who knows. The only "romance" was with Sabrina.
