00:00 With Victor being back to his alpha personality and totally shaking the company with his moves,
00:04 we can't help but look at his journey of the past four decades on The Young and the Restless.
00:08 So today, let's rewind back to the past and see some of Victor Newman's wildest
00:13 and the most memorable moments on the show.
00:15 In the early days of Victor Newman's journey in Genoa City, he made an unforgettable entrance
00:27 with a jaw-dropping storyline. Suspecting his wife Julia's baby might not be his,
00:32 Victor took drastic measures. He locked Julia's photographer friend, Michael Scott,
00:36 in a bomb shelter, leading to a scuffle that tragically resulted in the loss of Julia's child.
00:41 Little did anyone know, this was just the beginning of Victor's tumultuous adventures.
00:45 Victor's fierce determination to protect his family knows no bounds. When his son Nicholas
00:52 was wrongfully imprisoned, Victor used his boxing skills to step into the ring in a prison fight,
00:57 ultimately delivering a knockout blow to a menacing thug who was bullying his son.
01:01 The incident showcased Victor's unwavering commitment to those he loves and underlined
01:05 that he's not just a CEO but a fierce protector.
01:07 Power and business had always been Victor's unwavering priorities until he abandoned it all,
01:14 opting for a simpler life on a Kansas farm. After rescuing a local woman named Hope Adams
01:19 following a carjacking incident, Victor became an unexpected ranch hand. A romance blossomed
01:24 between them but when he learned of Hope's impending marriage, he returned to Genoa City,
01:28 proving once again that for Victor Newman, it's all about himself.
01:31 A vasectomy usually signals the end of fathering children but Victor's frozen sperm proved to be
01:39 the center of a fierce battle. Nikki, Ashley, and Diane engaged in an elaborate chess game to claim
01:44 Victor's genetic legacy. In the end, Ashley became the mother of Victor's third child, leaving fans
01:49 to wonder just how many times Victor has reversed and re-reversed his vasectomy.
01:54 Following the tragic death of his wife Sabrina in a car crash, Victor's quest for vengeance led
02:00 into Mexico in search of the man responsible, Walter Palin. But a twist of fate at sea left
02:05 Victor adrift in a bout of deep depression. He vanished from Genoa City, shutting out his family
02:10 and responsibilities. Ultimately, he was found in Paris where longtime love Ashley provided comfort,
02:16 giving a glimpse into the more vulnerable side of Victor Newman.
02:21 In the world of soap operas, no one's heart has been captured quite like Victor's was by Nikki
02:26 Reid over three decades ago. Their relationship is a testament to the power of love and forgiveness,
02:31 as the two have weathered countless ups and downs, setting the gold standard for
02:34 super couples in daytime television. Victor Newman is known for his many marriages and flings,
02:42 but one of the most eyebrow-raising twists in his love life was his affair with his daughter-in-law,
02:46 Sharon. Their relationship, always defined by boundaries, took an unexpected and controversial
02:51 turn, leaving fans debating the legitimacy of their short-lived romance. Even the formidable
02:58 Victor Newman couldn't evade one of soap opera's most classic tropes, amnesia. After a fall from a
03:03 horse, he abandoned his life in Genoa City, adopting a new identity as Christian and working
03:08 at the docks in Los Angeles. His Newman-like ambitions didn't make him the most popular
03:12 co-worker, as some colleagues plotted to cause a dock explosion. Presumed dead,
03:16 Victor returned to the astonishment of all. In a storyline that took a unique turn,
03:23 Victor's character underwent a drastic change following a carjacking. His newfound generosity
03:28 and energy led to a diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy. The storyline had Victor undergoing
03:33 gamma knife radiosurgery, an event that not only impacted the fictional world of Genoa City but
03:38 also lead actor Eric Braden to collaborate with the Epilepsy Foundation to raise awareness about
03:42 the condition. In recent years, Victor's most challenging adversary has been his youngest son,
03:50 Adam. Hailing from Kansas, Adam has proven himself a formidable match for Victor's devious ways,
03:55 having committed numerous crimes, faked his own death, and even tampered with Victor's medication
03:59 in a bid to take down his father. Victor's history of elaborate schemes came full circle when he
04:07 masterminded the abduction of his longtime rival, Jack Abbott. He orchestrated Jack's replacement
04:12 with a lookalike from a Peruvian prison. As events unfolded, Victor found himself facing
04:16 unexpected consequences, making this plot a memorable chapter in Victor Newman's storied life.
04:21 In a long-awaited twist of fate, Victor Newman was finally convicted for his part in the Marco
04:29 Abbott crimes. The shocking trial saw his own family testifying against him. He received a
04:33 10-year prison sentence and was even stabbed by a fellow inmate. But in true Victor Newman fashion,
04:38 he devised a complex plan to have his sentence reduced to just two years of community service,
04:43 proving that in the world of daytime television, there's no character quite like Victor Newman.
