Today, I want to extend warm well-wishes to Eric Braeden, fondly known as Victor from “The Young and the Restless.” This daytime television icon has recently gone through a knee replacement surgery. He shared an image from his hospital room along with a touching message to his loyal fans.

With an outstretched arm showing his resilience, Eric wrote after his surgery, “After knee replacement!” He added enthusiastically, “I’m thinking of you all!”

Fans did not take long to respond on Twitter, offering their support and encouragement. One enthusiastic fan, Patty Tramel, encouraged him to “keep moving.” Drawing from the experiences of friends who’ve undergone similar procedures, she emphasized that staying active promotes quicker healing and minimizes scarring.

Eric’s cheer didn’t just come from fans; his former co-star from “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Sean Kanan, also reached out. He wished Eric a smooth recovery and passed along his hopes for a joyful holiday experience. “In no time,” Sean reassured, “you’ll return to being as formidable as ever.”

There’s no doubt about it—Eric will overcome this hurdle. Neither a knee replacement, a walker, nor the hospital’s signature purple socks will hold this man back!

We’re eagerly awaiting the moment Eric returns to the screen, bringing freshness to his role in Genoa City as 2023 progresses.
