The Young and the Youngless and its actors for sure know how to keep fans on their toes! The latest gossip comes straight from Genoa City’s leading man, Eric Braeden, aka Victor Newman. The November 26 episode had fans notice a visible injury on Victor’s right temple. It sparked all kinds of chatter, with people asking questions and tossing their own theories. So, what’s the tea behind the whole thing? Check it out below.

Victor’s Appearance Raises Eyebrows

One of The Young and the Restless fan accounts poked a little fun about the whole thing on X/Twitter. They jokingly asked if Billy Abbott had thrown a punch at Victor. Well, Braeden didn’t leave his fans hanging and cleared the air with his typical humor. It turned out he got a bruise in the boxing gym. “No, I had done some head-butt exercises on the heavy bag!” he responded, adding three laughing emojis.

Nobody’s better than Braeden for turning a mishap into a punchline! So, there’s nothing to worry about because our favorite Newman patriarch isn’t going anywhere. However, Victor can’t stay aloof from the corporate troubles on screen. The character thought he had the upper hand on Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) in their latest battle. But Jack isn’t the one to back down without a fight!

Additionally, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) might go ahead with their plan to shake Victor off. It will set the stage for more drama! But let’s remember that Victor is not a rookie, and no setback can hold him back. The titan of industry knows well how to rise above the fray. So, even if Jack and Billy come up with a master plan, Victor will counter every strike one punchline at a time.

The Newman name isn’t just a legacy but a force to be reckoned with, do you agree? As the Newman-Abbott rivalry takes center stage, we can’t wait to see how Victor tackles the hurdles along the way. Grab your popcorn because the drama is only just beginning!
