  • Labor of Love: How Eric Braeden Shepherded a Historical Saga | Soaps News | 12/10/2008
    The Man Who Came Back, released this week on DVD (shop Amazon), is a compelling revenge film set in the 1870s, chronicling the second worst labor strike in American history. Bringing the tale to life was none other than Eric Braeden, famous for his long run on CBS' The Young and the Restless (where he plays the dynamic Victor Newman) as well as roles in such films as Titanic.

    Braeden, however, did much more than ... read more 2 Comments

  • How Y&R's Eric Braeden (Barely) Met CBS' Mother | Today's News: Our Take | 11/3/2008
    How I Met Your Mother fans will meet for the very first time tonight Robin Scherbatsky — Sr., that is — when The Young and the Restless' Eric Braeden guest-stars as the comely Canadian's pop. The story: As Ted tries to avoid seeing Stella at a restaurant, the rest of the gang share stories about who they would least like to see at that moment. Robin's beef with Robin? He really wanted her to be a boy, and did everything he could during childhood to make her into one. Cue flashbacks.

    In this Q&A, Braeden reveals how he and Mother nearly did not come to be, detailing his apathy for prime-time TV appearances. Also: A status report on life in Genoa City. read more 8 Comments

  • Exclusive: Robin's Mother Father Is Y&R's Eric Braeden | Today's News: Our Take | 9/24/2008
    It is "Father's Day" here at TVGuide.com. Just hours after I posted the scoop on Papa Walton playing Gibbs' dad on NCIS, this other paternity reveal hit my desk: Eric Braeden of The Young and the Restless fame has scored a gig on How I Met Your Mother, playing Robin's father. His name? Robin Charles Scherbatsky, Sr.(Apparently Alan Thicke is only Robin Sparkles' dad, in the "Sandcastles in the Sand" video.)The storyline set-up: As Ted and the gang hide in a restaurant from... er, someone, they each take turns recounting the one person they would most hate to run into. Robin's pick is her pop, seeing as she has Daddy issues — in that hers always wanted her to be a boy. I believe I speak for all of red-blooded malekind when I say, "Thank goodness she wasn't." — Matt Mitovich read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Logan Rave: Y&R's "Fearless, Flawless" Eric Braeden | Soaps News | 2/20/2008
    Barring an act of God, The Young and the Restless will hit a staggering milestone on Feb. 29: 1,000 consecutive weeks as daytime’s top-rated show. All involved in this super-streak deserve kudos, but I just gotta give a special shout-out to Eric Braeden as ruthless kingpin Victor Newman.After an unfortunate rough patch where the writers turned his character into a passive, puppy-hugging wuss, Braeden is back on fire these days — truly terrifying during Victor’s brutal divorce from Nikki, tender and heart-shattering during his death vigil for Hope. Who else has such range? We could easily watch this fearless, flawless actor for a thousand more weeks. — Michael Logan read more
  • Inside Nikki and Victor's "Brutal" Y&R Divorce | Soaps News | 9/27/2007
    CBS Daytime's premier supercouple, Victor and Nikki on The Young and the Restless, will decide to get a divorce on Oct. 5 — and there's nothing civil about it. "We start out trying to be decent to each other, but things don't turn out that way. It's really pretty brutal," says actress Melody Thomas Scott, now in her 28th year as Nikki. "At one point Eric Braeden [Victor] and I just threw out the script and went for it. We're both Aries, and when we get going in fight scenes, we'll kill each other unless someone yells 'Cut.'"The marriage started heading south a few months back when ex-stripper Nikki made an unsuccessful run for the Wisconsin state senate. She then slept with her campaign manager, which sent control-freak Victor over the edge. But this isn't their first divorce, and it probably won't be the last. "Let's face it, they're addicted to each other," Thomas Scott says. "Nikki is the only woman who can make Victor this angry." — Reporting by Michael Logan read more
