The latest Eric Braeden news is making the internet rounds. How he might quit the show, how he's been written out, how he gave this moving speech to the cast telling them he might never be back and he cried.
What a fucking joke.
I find it ironic that the one time he utilizes his acting skills in several years is when he's using it to play hardball with the show execs to prove his financial worthiness.
The article clearly states at the end that he is "in talks with the show". Would he be in talks if he had no intention of returning?
There's no freaking way he's going to lose ALL of his income when he admits that he's willing to take the pay cut at the end of his contract. It has been reported--and I don't know how true it is--that he makes a million dollars a year. Lord knows his "acting" sure as hell isn't worth a cool mill. IF you call walking around with your hands in your pockets while you mumble your lines "acting".
But how clever of him to take it one step further than the others who have been "written out of the show" only to return weeks later after their contracts have been settled, by giving a "good-bye" speech. OY. What a drama queen.
Getting the impression I don't like him? I don't and here's why: Victor Newman has to win every damn time there's a confrontation between him and Jack Abbott. How boring and predictable. It's the same story line used over and over and over.
More importantly, in my opinion, Braeden has been phoning in his "acting" for several years now. Even when he's breaking down doors or muttering about his love for Nicki, he's got his damn hands in his damn pockets as if he just doesn't give a damn. His whole expression screams, "Give me my paycheck and get me out of here."
Frankly, I wish they would.
