Today, we send heartfelt well-wishes to Eric Braeden, beloved by fans as Victor Newman from The Young and the Restless. This legendary daytime TV star recently underwent knee replacement surgery and shared an inspiring update from his hospital room.
With a resilient spirit, Eric posted a photo accompanied by the words, “After knee replacement!” He warmly added, “I’m thinking of you all!”
Fans quickly flooded Twitter with messages of encouragement and support. Among them, Patty Tramel urged him to “keep moving,” highlighting how staying active can speed up recovery and reduce scarring—advice inspired by her friends’ experiences with similar surgeries.
Eric also received kind words from his former The Bold and the Beautiful co-star, Sean Kanan. Sean wished him a speedy recovery and a joyful holiday season, reassuring Eric that he’d soon be back to his usual formidable self.
There’s no doubt that Eric will rise above this challenge. A knee replacement, a walker, or even those unmistakable hospital-issue purple socks won’t keep this determined man down!
We’re eagerly looking forward to seeing Eric back in action, bringing new energy to Genoa City as 2023 unfolds.
