In honor of Eric Braeden’s 40th anniversary of playing Y&R’s omnipotent Victor Newman, co-stars share what makes him so great.

Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki)
“I love his consistency ...
I love his unpredictability ...
I love his strength ...
I love his vulnerability ...
I love his pensiveness ...
I love his laughter ...
I love that his soul loves to dance with mine.
My Nikki loves to love his Victor.
And a bonus Haiku: Invisible sparks Have no bounds in those moments When auras are One.”
Jess Walton ( Jill)
“When I first met Eric about 32 years ago, I thought he was very scary and gruff. The reason I love him so much now is that he is, at heart, a big softie! Kind and generous, brave and protective. I was very nervous when I heard we would be in a storyline together many years ago, but it turned out to be an exciting and challenging acting experience! You never knew what he was going to do next! I loved it, and him! And every year since my fondness for him grows. Congratulations, Eric, and thank you for everything you have done for our show and everyone concerned!”
Doug Davidson (Paul)
“Everyone loves Eric Brae den because he is a true leader; strong, talented, funny, trustworthy, loyal, gentle when he needs to be, faithful... He’s everything you’d want ... in a bird dog! And a friend and colleague. God bless, Eric Braeden!”
Lauralee Bell (Christine)
