The Young and The Restless Comings And Goings: Eric Braeden Takes A Break From Genoa City

The Young and the Restless spoilers indicate that Eric Braeden is taking a break from the cameras, but not for very long.

The actor, who is best known for his role as Victor in Genoa City, will be taking the rest of the month off for a very special trip overseas. And it’ll be one that will bring him plenty of good memories, too.

According to reports, Eric recently revealed that he is headed off to Germany for several weeks. He told TV Insider’s Michael Maloney in a special interview, “It is the 60th anniversary of [my] winning the German Youth Championship.

I was javelin, discus, and shot put champion. I’m seeing some of my fellow athletes for the first time in 60 years!”

For Eric, this is a much needed break as daytime television stars – or at least the ones who get the most screen time – don’t have much personal time off throughout the year.

He continued, “We take very few vacations in daytime because the show is on every week. Going for two weeks is just not worth it [when you add in] travel time and jet lag. It’s just not worth it. I’m going to visit relatives and friends while I’m there.”

Either way, fans are very happy that he’ll be able to get in a little R&R before returning back to work. The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on the CBS network.
