Why is it when Eric tweets it’s in the soap media? I knew what he meant and he wasn’t criticising the writing..

What does he really think of the reign of JFP??

He just wants attention.

Totally agree with him, I knew what he meant when I read the tweet, the news had just come out about Josh.

LOL
Eric is so very real, I adore him for his not holding back his thoughts from anyone anytime!!

quote EB;
”I don’t like changes!”

haa gotta love him!!!

Well if he was upset about the story line would he say so? Most actors are professional enough to keep their complaints to themselves and not voice opinions on stories on social media or elsewhere. And like any long term employee faced with new management changes– it is unsettling to say the least, so at least he is honest about it. As for soap opera writing– ITA , it is not an easy task and doesn’t get much credit or respect. The writers are like the umpires of daytime dramas– they get booed at a lot for their calls, but the game couldn’t go on without therm.

I, too, understood what Eric meant by his comment. Someitmes I think people are just LOOKING for trouble to make “good copy” or to support their own views. Eric is loyal to his show and his fans–one who questions that must not know him very well.

Eric Braeden is Never critical of Y&R, that is my opinion, and I believe that to be true. He knows what an extremely awesome task it is to be a writer on a Soap, or to be a writer period, but especially on a Soap. Y&R, since the very beginning has had extraordinary writers, that one of the reasons why it has been the #1 Soap Opera for decades. When a writer decides to leave the show that can seem daunting, a sudden change, and who likes change? I agree with Mr. Braeden 100%. I believe that he is Always respectful of Everyone, and is Always a gentleman! One can also tell that he loves Y&R and the entire cast and the Producers, writers, etc. He is truly a great man!

Sorry that I left the ‘s’ out in ‘thats’, but then I would not be me if I did not misspell whenever I am writing a comment about the great Mr.Braeden. I guess that I get nervous. Haha

I have loved getting to know Eric Braeden via Twitter.What a gentleman and full of class.Certainly don’t think he should have needed to justify what he said.It made perfect sense when & in the context he said it.This just showed his care and concern for his fellow artists and craftsmen.

Eric Braeden is a treasure. He is right so many changes…

I admire Eric Braeden and have watched him for years. He cuts through the chase and delivers his thoughts with a few but powerful words. I believe that he doesn’t like change as it is hard for him and for myself. That is a normal human reaction that most people deal with from time-to-time. Hats off to Eric but also the many hard hours the writers put in. I don’t know which is worse for the writers, the hours or the job of pleasing the viewers? Thankfully they have produced a great soap. A toast to many more years to come!

If Eric Braden thought the writing was OK, it means the writers were setting things up for “Victor” to hog our screens again.

In my opinion, EB’s “likes and dislikes” have always been self-serving – so I don’t pay any attention to what he has to say.

EB is the only actor who commented on Josh leaving. He stated that he was very disappiinted. No one else bothered to say!

I totally agree with you Eric! Keep up the good work!

EB should not be questioned, he should not have to explain his comments to anyone. EB is quite a gentleman and very good actor. What he has said about writers is so very true, without writers there would be no soaps. And without good writers we would not have great soaps.

The writers are the bones of the shows, the actors are the soul and the fans are the meat
“I’ve been following for nearly 30 years… since the VCR was available to us..”

A Loyal Fan of SOAP OPERAS… Peter.

I wish the writers at the BOLD and the beautiful would change the story line for Brooke. Sick of her being so trashy!! Damn!!

I hate change also and I have been a loyal fan of the Y & R don’t want to see anymore changes than we have too. Love Victor for years and his role. Keep up the good work and don’t do any more changes. Love the whole crew.

all i know is i love you and y&r would not be watchable without you.

I agree with him, too many changes in the last few years; would be hard to continue day after day with the same storyline, different characters/same name! Plus 40 years is a long time!

He is right , and I am glad I am not a writer in daytime. There are a lot of changes in YR right now and we will see a few more before it is all over. (don’t you think?) Sharon is a challenge right now.

I love the show and agree the writers have a tough job. All the twists n turns and making stories come full circle while keeping us guessing all the time. Thank you Eric for being such a fantastic actor. hope to meet you at the 40th Anniversary dinner this weekend…

The writer do have a tough job, trying to keep that soap number one is not easy. Writing enough stuff to keep Victor not Eric a mean SOB is a task in itself, but I love you Victor. I hope you have no plans to leave Y and R, it certainly will not be the same.

I totally agree with Eric! they are brilliant!

The writers job is tough,there is a lot of pressure on them to make the Y & R the top. It is unfortunate that they do get the least credit.
If it wasn’t for them writing the story lines I more likely would not watch.
Three cheers for the writers.

I don’t like the changes either especially the loss of Michelle Stafford. Miss Stafford was the ony character with any life in her.

Stop with all the changes! First we lose Katherine, then Phyllis. One we can’t do any thing about but the other we can. BRING BACK PHYLLIS!!!! She needs to take care of Sharon. The writers are doing a fantastic job but if we keep changing out the actor, we will be loosing viewers, thus loosing another great soap. I love Y&R. Please stop the changes……

I agree about so many changes. Can they not keep anyone married on this show. When is Sharon ever going to get what’s coming with the cops I’m sick how she gets away with everything.
I was sorry to see Phyllis leave I would have liked to see her and Jack together because they are a great match for each other. Are they recasting Phyllis, because there is a big hole there now.

I love you Victor

Writing for any media is hard on the brain. Having to product a daily, smooth running, long lived story line is exhausting. I have watched Eric since he was a bad boy soldier where he started his SOB approach to life. Love the Show!

I have been watching Y&R for 40 yrs. and I agree that there have been too many changes, just as Eric said. In fact, I have been thinking about stopping watching. I know the writers have a tough job, but come on…give us something worth watching!

I feel Eric has way to much class to ever say a negative comment about the writers crew or anyone else..

I think he has integrity and believe what he says. I commend him for acknowledging the other participants and the hard work that goes into production of Y & R. XO

I agree with Eric. He should know he has been famous in movies and Young and restless would not be the same without him. I do wish they would bring Ridge back. There are other changes that have been made that I don’t like. But I will never quit watching it. I do hope the babys paternity is revealed, they are all so jealouse of Victors Son when I believe he has a heart of gold. Sharon must be off her meds. She use to be so sweet, now her part is not very interesting. still lov the show but Nikkie is acting so stuck up and not very interesting. Does she ever forgive anyone? I miss Jean so much because she was the show and that part is real. Still lov the show!

being that you are a great actor it’s very big of you to send credit to others who also help make your job a little easier. rock on victor.

I AGREE ONE TRILLION PERCENT AND WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT EIC BRAEDEN I ONLY LOOK AT THE SHOW FOR HIM SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE VICTOR NEWMAN THINKNING HE IS TOO COLD AND HARD BUT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THE GREAT ACTOR MR. BRAEDEN IS BY CONVINCING THE WORLD AND BRINGING VICTOR NEWMAN TO LIFE GOD BLESS YOU MR BRAEDEN

Sometimes people have nothing better to do then spread lies. Eric is the show. They all make the show what it is, but without Eric as Victor, there would be no young and the restless. I don’t like the way they write some of the scripts. Print this.

I have become one disgruntled and unhappy Y&R fan. I’ve watched this show since the first day it aired and we viewers aren’t always going to be happy with the changes that occur. But in recent years, some of the changes have been waaaaaaaay beyond stupid (just my opinion!) For example, Sharon sleeping her way through the Newman men, culminating with her marriage to Victor! Did the writers really think the viewers would buy that relationship? Viewers have known for years that Jack Abbott fathered Summer but suddenly, Nick Newman is the biological father! Again, did the writers really think viewers would buy this bull? This is not meant as an insult to any actor, but I could care less who’s haunting Neil and his family via the internet! This S/L just popped up out of nowhere, and there seems to be no real rationale behind it. Gus, Leslie & Tyler just begin to come together as a family and BOOM! Gus is dead, leaving more questions than answers. Are the writers determined to make Sharon the next Patty-Cake Williams? WHY?!?! ONE Patty-Cake is more than enough! A private detective, Paul Williams, suddenly becomes Genoa City’s police chief? In what solar system and on what planet? As for the Lauren/Michael/Carmine fiasco, if Lauren is so sick of Carmine calling and/or texting her, why doesn’t she change her cell phone number? Seems like a simple solution to me! I don’t like the “new” Abby or Kyle and again, this is not meant as a personal insult to any actor. Refusing to put Marcy Rylan (ex-Abby) on full-time status was a HUGE mistake. A terrific actress, Rylan is now on full-time status at GH and Y&R is stuck with Melissa Ordway. Are you kidding me? Why Blake Hood (ex-Kyle) was let go has never been explained or I missed the explanation. Either let Billy & Victoria have more than 6 minutes of marital bliss or they get a divorce…end of story! This constant tug-of-war between the two is more than a little boring, taxing and tiresome and by the way, doesn’t Victor have an international conglomerate to run? Why is Victor ALWAYS in Billy & Victoria’s marital business? Victor is coming off more like a busy-body demented old fool, always yelling & screaming, than a consummate businessman. Anyone reading this may or may not agree with me and that’s just fine. But I’m expressing MY frustration with Y&R, that’s all.

DONE WITH THIS SHOW! TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. MORE NEW NAKED YOUNG CHARACTERS WITH NO STORY. BRING BACK THE CORE CHARACTERS AND REAL STORIES. LOVE JACK, PHYILLIS, JILL, ADAM. GIVE THEM STORY LINES. SEND DYLAN BACK TO GH. WHO CARES IF HE’S NICKY’S SON. DUMP JFP!! SHE’S RUINED THE SHOW.
