"Y&R" Uncasting news
Mr. Hole the Magnificent
iconic Victor Newman on Y&R. The actor has already taped his last
scenes. Reportedly, Victor and Nikki go on vacation.
For the past few weeks, Braeden has been involved in intense
negotiations. While his contract is up at the end of 2010, Y&R has
been asking actors to take pay cuts when their 13-week cycles expire.
As previously reported, Y&R is currently transitioning Adam Newman to
inherit his father’s complex history. Additionally, the sudser has
announced it’s casting a new millionaire bad guy named Tucker with a
big name to cover their bases. “The casting call is not a scare
tactic,” says an executive. “Tucker is a real role.”
During Braeden’s last tape date, the actor gave a speech to the cast
saying he may not come back and thanked the cast and crew for decades
of memories.. “He said he wasn’t sure if he’d ever be back, and
thanked everyone for their hard work,” says one co-star. “He got
emotional towards the end. After his speech, there was dead silence.
We were all stunned,” says another witness.
Eric Braeden joined YOUNG & RESTLESS in early 1980.

This is the same stuff that was reported about MTS -- Nikki was
written out of the story for a few weeks when her contract
negotiations were stalled last June. And yet Nikki returned a few
weeks later. I won't believe Eric Braeden is leaving the show for
good until I hear either him or the Y&R producers make a public
announcement.
BTW, there is no way that Adam could "inherit his father's complex
history." That doesn't make sense. I don't even know what that
means.

So if Nikki and Victor go on vacation does that mean Nikki is leaving the
show too? That doesn't seem fair.

Agreed. I buy the possibility of a Victor-less Genoa City because of
contract negotiations even less than I bought the possibility of a
Nikki-less Genoa City for that reason. I suppose it's possible that
Braeden wants something outrageous to stay, but Victor is so central
to the story--even more so than Nikki--and is such a fixture that I
just don't believe TPTB, even the incredibly boneheaded current PTB,
would take the risk of a Victor-less future unless they absolutely had
no other choice (i.e., if what Braeden wants is so outrageous they
have no hope of giving it to him).
Nothing's impossible these days, but I'll be very surprised if this is
anything more than a publicity ploy.

I don't either.

They could never redeem Adam for the baby thing with Ashley IMO. I'm with
you zob, I won't believe it until they actually announce it, on the last day
I watch it. :-)

I don't understand this comment, because all that I have read in ratsc
is that Braeden apparently expected or hoped to continue his contract as
written. TPTB are exercising their option to reduce his pay [& others]
apparently and he's objecting. That doesn't seem too unreasonable to
me. What am I missing?

What;s the difference between "negotiations" and "intense
negotiations?"
I am so tired of these annual MIAs by major actors. The only one I
thought might settle was Vistoria Rowell.

What is wrong about this is EB is correct. Y&R is trying to brak his
contact and if they succeed, all actor contracts are meaningless. Salary
is set until the end of a contact, in his case 2010. The only option they
have every 13 weeks is to retain him or fire him. They cannot renegotiate
the salary. Nowing EB, if he stands his ground, he and the union will
probably sue Sony and Bell. They would most likely win.

Let's say victor and nikki go off. FIrst off, this makes no sense,
assuming he's just had a heart transplant.
Second, he is married to ashley and has a newborn baby. So unless they
give the baby back to sharon in a hurry and send ash off to the looney
bin i don't see how he will leave???

He will probably need to get away from it all and relax to heal from
the surgery.

She will probably leave him once she realizes he wants to be with Nikki
more. It probably won't be a vicious departure, as it was going to be
before he was shot; but just a mutual parting of the ways.
