Why does victor newman have an accent

The other big takeaway for Braeden has been to appreciate the deep connection that faithful viewers have with their favorite TV stars, at any time of day. Home Biz News. Feb 14, am PT.

Completely unwatchable.

Adam saying he should run Newman after making such a show a couple of months ago about having no interest in it? Pick a direction, writers, any direction! And can someone please, please tell Josh Morrow to stop rocking his … Read more ». Soapfan, how about the endless idiocy of Paul Williams?

Victoria is stabbed. The motive? And what better place to commit murder than a public art exhibit. Poor Doug Davidson must wince at the dialog he has to sell! Olivia struggled to get the popular vote throughout the season while being a fierce competitor on the ballroom dance floor, landing in the bottom two, previously.

Loughlin and Jade had been at the epicenter of the college admissions scandal. That left Jimmie and Emma and Melora and Artem for the judges to vote and who to save. All the judges voted to save Melora, thus ending the dance journey for Jimmie. Following the couples solo performances, they were paired in a dance-off opposite another duo for the first time this season. In the dance-off, the couples were vying for extra points from the judges while dancing to the same type of routine and to the same Jackson song, side-by-side.

So, did the right two couples get sent home? Who are you rooting for from who is left in the competition to take home the Mirror Ball Trophy?

Let us know in the comment section. MarDevil goes to each of the gravesites of Charlie Dale Mike Manning , Nick Fallon Blake Berris and Deimos Kiriakis Vincent Irizarry , and literally takes them out of the ground and gets each of them to go after the people that put killed them in the first place. Throughout the Monday through Wednesday episodes, viewers watched flashbacks of how each of the bad men were murdered, and how now they have risen to torture their foes. Blake Berris, Mike Manning, and Vincent Irizarry all looked as those they were having quite the fun time playing the zombie-versions of their once Salem characters.

And as viewers saw, Gabi killed Nick, yet again, after finding Jake Brandon Barash buried, Tripp hit Charlie multiple times with a frying pan and cracked and his skull, and Nicole stabbed Deimos … again.

However, of course, no one else in Salem saw the zombies, making it difficult for the very much alive folks to get anyone to believe what just happened to them. So did you enjoy seeing Blake, Mike, and Vincent again? Comment below. Phyllis fires backs that unless they are having sex or playing video games, Nick does not treat her well and that she wants something more than superficial moments in their relationship.

This all seems to stem from Nick wanting to be there for the Newman Family and Phyllis being at odds with it. Then, in an emotional outburst, Phyllis says that she has been turning herself inside out to make Nick happy.

Then, Phyllis tells Nick she wants him to choose her over his family. You can watch it below. So, what did you think of the Phick break-up scene? Do you want Phyllis to end up with Jack, or back with Nick? Share your thoughts via the comment section. Adam wants to take his father down, destroy his business, and take everything from him. Knowing then how Victor feels about his son, this must be such emotionally damaging information for a father to find out about one of his own children!

ERIC: It must be for families, and mothers, and fathers, who have an offspring who is just not very good! I have spoken to the writers about it, to remind them of it. Unfortunately, when we get the scripts it is a feta accompli.

This constant maligning from all the characters of the show that Victor is the worst; is true to a certain degree. However, they are righteous hypocrites! Laughs True!

In other words, I have nothing against Victor fighting dirty and hard when it comes to business and defending his family, but to unload this pejorative of stuff said by other characters on to that character is going too far. In his mind, and in my mind, a lot of his actions are justified.

I went to Bill Bell after the first year I was here, and said I am leaving the show. Was it too heinous of an act to perpetrate, even for the great Victor Newman? ERIC: But, it played! I just wish they would have written that Victor owns this company of advanced genetic studies in Peru, and that a bunch of Peruvian Ninjas of high intelligence created this doppelganger, OK?

Laughs This Marco guy came from Peru and spoke with no accent. Whatever the case, Victor got away with the whole thing … for now. This week viewers have been watching the fallout of the entire town finding out Adam is alive, and his duplicity. It has provided a great opportunity to showcase the talents of the cast. What did you think about those scenes, and the work of the cast in this pivotal week of air shows?

ERIC : I remember taping the reveal. Victor is a loner, and he makes decisions on his own. Look, I love working with all the actors. I think the whole cast is wonderful.

I think we have some very good actors on the show. I really must say I admire the crew. That cannot happen. Nighttime is a joke to what we do … film is a joke compared to what we do. Try to do scenes that we do! John Neil , I mean all of them! They do things in one take! What I fought against since the beginning on this show is the self- deprecatory attitude towards what we do. What we do is absolutely honorable, and I have done all forms of acting: nighttime, Broadway, film, theatre, etc.

This is the hardest medium in the world. Nothing is harder than this. You try to be a good actor, given reams of dialog, and at many times given to you at the last minute, no less.

ERIC: I love working with my fellow actors, and I love doing what we are doing, with a few adjustments here and there. Victor is not outguessed by anyone. Give me a break! ERIC: I hope they fulfill that natural desire, given the history of these two guys, because Victor is going to get even now. We must pay attention to emotional continuity not to be superseded by events. There was a moment and not enough of a moment, I think where Victor has an enormous physcholigcal shift in him.

This is his son! He knows now this is his son. He does not want to dismiss that. Hence, it is doubly difficult to justify. I think writing is the most difficult job in our business. He is a joy to work with, and has a great sense of humor. He is very bright, and very good! ERIC: I was not surprised the ratings have gone up.

I have watched the show the last 3 to 4 months, much more than I used to. Where did that come from? I am surprised! I am curious to know what will happen next. Or, does Victor know he can never really be brought to his knees, no matter how hard people may try? He has been a loner since he was 7-years-old when he was taken to that orphanage, period. But that is where that comes from. I bring it up sometimes in scenes, because his mistrust comes from that.

The childhood years are the most important years of our lives. Patterns are set. I would like to get your thoughts on some of some more of the actors in the Newman clan: First, I have to say, I love the scenes between Victor and Victoria, as played by Amelia Heinle. She is the sweetest person to work with, and a wonderful actress. Heather Tom, I so admired and so cherished.

I have been very lucky to have been able to know and work with both of those actresses. Heather is arguably one of the brightest human beings I have ever met. She has an enormous intellect, as you know, and a very high IQ. When she left the show, I was very upset. But I must say, Amelia has been such a joy to work with, and so good at what she does. I also think Melissa Ordway, who plays Abby, is damn good!

She really is. My, God! Playing the ding-a-ling is one of the hardest things to play. Laughs But honestly, she does it so well!

Melissa is also a joy to work with. And, I have not changed my mind about that. And of course, the incomparable Melody Thomas Scott Nikki! Now, exactly where are Victor and Nikki at in their relationship? Laughs They seem to be together now?

I do understand the writers need to write scenes with conflict, but sometimes I wish they would write some scenes without conflict. Just seeing Victor and Nikki together, without her having to constantly complain about him being domineering. There does not always have to be an ulterior motive. I do love working with Mel, as you know.

I just wish they would have some scenes where the two of them are sweeter to each other, and not constantly critical of each other. I thought that speech you gave was terrific. What can you share about what Peter also means to this brand? ERIC: Peter is indispensable. I love working with him. He is always right there, and always concentrating on what we have to do, and always present.

I have a different approach to it than he does, but it works. We are both very important to this show. So do you think the … you-know-what … is going to continue to hit the fan, since the truth about Adam has come out?

ERIC: I hope so! What people in the audience like as well is the continuation of the emotional conflicts that they have been used to for years.

You have shared your views on hot social and political topics of our time. Often on Twitter, you tweet your commentary on the news of the day. So, I want to get your take on a few issues. Just the other week, we saw another mass shooting in a community college in Oregon, and the debate for gun control continues. There was recently a statistic showing how many deaths were caused in the US via guns and mass shootings that was horrific in body count! It was meant to arm the militia against a possible re-envasion by the Brits, period.

It is obscene to see that much power on the part of one lobby. What the hell do you and I need an AK for? I thought this was country made out of people with guts: Football players, cowboys, etc. Congress, most of them are whores, and they are subject to the whims of lobbyists. NRA is one of the strongest lobbies.

To vote against even the slightest restrictions, such as background checks, etc … this defies all logic! And excuse me, what are Americans afraid of? What are Americans so paranoid about that they all need guns?

This is insanity and it needs to be stopped. Syrian refugees and immigrants are making their way to your home country of Germany. What do you think of the situation there? In fact, there was one young Syrian teenager who dreamed of making it to Germany, and did, who learned to speak English by watching Days of our Lives!

Laughs We probably speak different English here in Genoa City! They are breeding less and less children there: meaning there is no one to sustain the social and medical system, for example, that still exists in Western Europe. Germany is on the same path of declining birthrates, so we need the immigrants if you want to look at it from a practical point of view. Is it difficult? It will be interesting to watch. Mainstream Germany is welcoming them. No country in the world has paid the kind of reparation that Germany has paid.

America is still debating reparation for years of slavery. Still debating it! Pope Francis was just here in the United States.

What do you think of his stance on the issues that plague the church? ERIC: What the Pope represents, and I am encouraged by it, is the essence of Christianity as I learned it, I grew up as a protestant it was the notion of forgiveness and the notion of universal love, and universal acceptance.

That part of Christianity I have always embraced, and the notion of embracing all human beings regardless of creed, color, inclination … whatever it is. That the Catholic Church is still very far behind in some of those areas is sad. If the Pope now were to stop this celibacy issue, and have the priests marry and live normal lives, you would have them join the Catholic Church in droves. One thing you have to say about the Catholics, their ritual is fantastic.

I mean, Whoa! Pomp and Circumstance! We people need it. Yes, he is more progressive than the other Popes, but he needs to be much more, and then the church would be overwhelmed with people who would want to join. CNN recently aired the republican debate featuring over ten candidates, including Donald Trump.

The debate went on for hours, yet it was hard to look away from it … like a bad train wreck! Laughs What were your impressions of it? ERIC: You mean, the comedy hour? What I loathe, and resent, are these debates where nothing is really being debated. And, the anchors are the worst! Why did someone not say why Megyn Kelly asked Trump very hostile questions? Do you know why that is?

Rupert Murdoch does not want Trump … he wants Jeb Bush! I will show you! In closing, you have some of the most loyal, die-hard fans.

Whether they love to love, or love to hate Victor Newman, for 35 years you have brought such enjoyment and must-see performances to your work. These viewers have so invested in you and your character. What has this meant to you, and the responsibility that comes with it? ERIC: In the end, the reason I am being interviewed is because of the fans, and that is the only reason. The reason we are here is because of the fans. The reason the show is so high in the ratings is because of the fans.

We forget it too often.
