We’ve seen enough episodes of The Young and the Restless to know that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is perhaps the most stubborn and determined man in all of Genoa City.
These traits have often served him well in the business world, but they often put him at odds with his family members, given his tendency to play puppet master in their personal lives. While he would argue that dictating who his wife, children and grandchildren associate with is part of his desire to protect them, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Claire (Hayley Erin) and the rest of the Newman clan would likely counter that he’s just too controlling.
