I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, The Young and the Restless’ Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is my favorite soap character in all of daytime television. I understand he can be manipulative, ruthless, cantankerous and a downright bully. However, I appreciate his wit, look forward to most of his scheming and anytime he's in a showdown, I can’t wait to see him put someone in their place.
Now I’m not a blind fan, and I understand that at times The Mustache goes too far. Off the top of my head, I can recall him having Victoria (Amelia Heinle) arrested so she didn’t marry Billy, Jack (Peter Bergman) swapped out with an imposter named Marco so he could take over Jabot, Billy (Jason Thompson) kicked out of Chancellor so he could gift it Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and used Kyle (Michael Mealor) just get back at his father. Victor has been around Genoa City since 1980, so trust and believe this is a very short list of some of his questionable antics. But it bears repeating, I’m Team Victor.
