Maybe he'll return... if necessary... for storyline purposes... otherwise... happy retirement... Eric!

Don't believe this.

I don't either. Eric Braeden said in March 2023 that he had no plans to leave Y&R as he LOVES the character of The Great Victor Newman. Clickbait! Also, I'm not trying to be rude but I cannot understand the commentator at all. She stops mid-sentence leaving the listener unsure if there is more coming on the story or if it's over. Too confusing! 🤷‍♂️
