Could this be the end for Victor Newman? That’s what a lot of The Young and the Restless fans can’t help but wonder as there’s heavy speculation suggesting actor Eric Braeden might not come back to the soap. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Eric Braeden, the star of The Young and the Restless, will not be returning.

Eric, who is best known for his role as Victor Newman on the hit CBS soap, has been left devastated after his house burned down during the historic Los Angeles County fires. 

The actor had dedicated the past 45 years to creating cherished moments with his family in his treasured home, but now it has been completely reduced to ashes.

The most recent update for fans of The Young and the Restless came from Eric, who recently explored the remains of his destroyed home. Since then, he hasn't provided any news about where he is, leading many fans to speculate that he may have moved elsewhere temporarily as he begins the process of rebuilding his life.

Many fans believe that Eric would require significant time away to reconstruct his life following the devastation caused by the wildfire. 

Not only that, but there’s also speculation that because Eric had already spent more than four decades on the show, he might also be thinking about retirement. Plus, if there was ever a time that his family needed him, it would be now. It would make sense for Eric to want to put his career to the side for those who matter the most in his life. Victor Newman, meanwhile, will just have to wait.
