TODAY: Y&R’s Eric Braeden to Appear on ‘The Talk’
UPDATED: The iconic, Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) of The Young and the Restless will be a guest on the Friday, February 4th episode of the CBS afternoon chatfest, The Talk.
Braeden is now celebrating his 42nd year as Genoa City’s Victor and will discuss his longtime career with the hosts. Tune-in today at 2PMEST/1PMPST on CBS.
Just added is a clip from Eric’s guest spot on The Talk below where host Sheryl Underwood asks, “Is Victor really letting the kids take over? “No, I mean a little bit, you know,” says Braeden. “But I’m watching like a hawk. One misstep…can’t let go. I think it’s difficult for some fathers, powerful fathers, to let go and let their children, their sons or their daughters take over, very hard. In real life, not so hard.”
Braeden also weighs-in on two of his favorite scenes with Victor Newman’s mom (Dorothy McGuire) and dad (George Kennedy). Eric shared: “I lost my father early on and I was born in the middle of the Second World War, 1941…we plunged into poverty when he died, when I was 12…war is a terrible thing…so, it touched nerves in me, I think. As an actor you go back to what you experienced all your life, especially in your childhood.” He adds, “We did that scene in one take. What people don’t realize about daytime, we do this stuff in one or two takes…The most I’ve ever done in one day was 62 pages of dialogue. So you just cram in between scenes, you just cram, but it keeps your mind sharp.”
Now let us know, when you think of all of Victor’s storylines and moments over the years, which ones still stand out to you and are some of your favorites? Let us know in the comment section below.
Sorry Erics a bust for me.
Funny how when he wasnt the ‘ focus’ of the show during the Mal Young tenure he was so vocal! Twittering about Jordans Rey and the Rosales taking over the show and sidelining Doug Davidson and himself but now thats he on every day its a ok in genoa city!????
The show is boring a.f and the plots make lil to no sense, Victor constantly in repetitive mode putting his children against eachother for no real cause or purpose! The show has three sets and is so cheap looking i ve seen theater in the park sets look,better. Something is up at cbs daytime…no talented writers, no quality production values and the same 5 stars hogging up the extremely tight budget! Imo put Eric, Melody and Peter on recurring and put that $ into better sets, new writers and more rotation of stars, i.e Lauren, Paul, Nina, Traci , Christine, a teen set, Imani, Mia and Arturo back etc….
Damien, I don’t agree about Mia Rosales — I thought she was an ill-conceived character; I never knew what to think of her. But the show is WAY OFF BALANCE. Abby, Chance, and Devon EVERY DAY! EVERY DAY! Victoria’s twisted, malicious vendetta against Adam, which Victor has no problem with, is stomach churning. The only interesting thing about Tessa & Mariah is Rory Gibson’s soulful performances as the crushed Noah. We do have a little more Michael and Lauren lately. But where’s Kevin, Gloria, Traci, Jill, Ashley, Paul, Esther? The soaps I grew up with were ensembles, not “star” shows with supporting actors just thrown in casually.
I agree ! The sets are terrible , the writing is atrocious, anyone with half a brain could turn this show around with better writing , better sets , and the original
Music scores . I haven’t watched the show for the first time in 20 years ! I stopped watching because nothing happens, no big storylines, no villains (real villains like Tricia Dennison , Sheila Carter , David Kimble . The sets are cheap , every scene is bright , the music in the background is cheesy . Go back and watch clips from the 70’s , 80s and 90s even early 2000s. I actually think the show be cancelled if it continues this way . Maybe that’s what CBS wants . Cheap , tacky and boring is what this show has become .
I hope he discusses how terrible the show has become and how he would like a new Exec Producer .
Please Fire JG !!
In the entertainment business, you can’t publicly bash the hand that feeds you….the EP for one and the HW for another. You do that, they’ll land you in Siberia with no storyline at all or they’ll fire you all together.
Always enjoy his interviews. Love the photos above with his parents. The mother wasnt too bad but that father was a piece of work.
I quite enjoyed his time on The Talk today. He had some interesting stories and made people laugh during some of them. And he sounded like Victor. As for his character on Y&R though, I don’t like how he continually plays his children off one other.
Eric Breaden is a excellent actor on icon ,he is the show , I have so much respect for him as a actor and a person. My favorite stuff is Victor vs Jack ,that rivalry is the best on TV. Eric and Peter work so well together. Victor and Nikki are the show. Yes the writing is suffering ,but it’s not that bad, and I am a loyal fan of the show for almost 40 years. If people are so unhappy why not petition to get Josh Griffith fired instead of complaining all the time. Eric is the best.
Eric Breaden is excellent actor ,he is a icon , he and Melody Thomas Scott are the show. I have so much respect for him as a actor and a person . My favorite stuff is Victor vs Jack rivalry , the best on tv . Eric Breaden and Peter Bergman work so well together . Everyone does a great job, Yes the writing is suffering , definitely could be better but it’s not that bad. I have been a loyal fan for almost 40 years. If people are so unhappy why not petition to get Josh Griffith fired instead of complaining all the time. Eric Breaden , and his character Victor Newman are the show, he belongs front and center all the time along with Melody Thomas Scott, Nikki . They are the supercouple of the show. The show would not be the same without them.
Eric Braeden is an amazing articulate actor but I hope Victor can put an obstacle on the developing pairing of Adam and Sally they’re so boring and they have zero chemistry when Fenmore Baldwin returns he should be Sallys new love interest not Adam Zach Tinker and Courtney Hope will definitely look superhot together.

Fenmore is too nice for Sally. She likes the bad boy type, strong and dynamic like Adam that won’t fall over if she blows on him.
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
