Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is the quintessential soap opera villain, and the actor’s many decades at “The Young and the Restless” are a testament to that. Since Braeden started appearing on “The Young and The Restless,” viewers have seen Victor tear through Genoa City with pure ruthlessness, usually under the guise of it being “just business.” When he isn’t destroying smaller companies in the corporate world, he is meddling in the personal (and professional) lives of his adult children, namely Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).
Even though Victor is content with pitting his children against each other like pawns in a parental game of chess, there’s something effortless and charming about him. It’s easy to melt into a puddle as his tender side emerges when he’s with his beloved wife, Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). There’s something about their love story that humanizes an otherwise miserable human being. The contrast between Victor’s interactions with everyone else and the ones with Nikki makes him polarizing and fascinating. For a little while, Victor seemed to be mellowing out and letting his villain title fall to the wayside, but in 2023, it returned in full gear.
Victor ripped the rug out from underneath all of his children, putting himself back into the position of top power at Newman Enterprises. It’s moves like that which make someone want to loathe him, but Victor always being one step ahead of everyone else makes it difficult to root against him.
