Eric Braeden to THR Re: Neil Patrick Harris: "He Could Get His Teeth Knocked Out"
By Jillian Bowe on December 18, 2010
The tiff between The Young and the Restless' Eric Braeden and How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris just got even nastier. The Y&R actor spoke with The Hollywood Reporter yesterday stating that Harris could:
"get his teeth knocked in for that kind of nonsense."
Huh... Braeden admits he bowed out of the guest starring role due to being tired from the work at Y&R and hip surgery, but also reveals he was given few lines on the primetime show:
"Two lines, I don't do that for anyone."

Eric Braden Is An Ass Hat. Plain & Simple. He Is A Small Actor. There Is Nothing Wrong With Cameos. Ask Julianne Moore. EB Has No Class. Im Sorry He Feels Sore due to his surgerry but to me that is an excuse, nothing more, nothing less. Well He Doesnt do just two lines for anyone. Well Then Watch Those Bridges Burn, Buddy Boy

Looks like Eric isn't an actor after all, he and Victor are one and the same. Eric shut up, Neil took back what he said. If my bread and butter came from a dying genre, I would do as many two line cameos I could get my hands on. Plus, his excuses are lame. "I was tried, hip surgery" then he finishes by saying "Two lines, I don't do that for anyone". Looks like someone is having an ego trip, Victor ; I mean Eric.

Eric is obviously milking this for all the publicity he can get. It's hard to see any upside to this for Y&R; it just makes them look like idiots for keeping a grouchy, unprofessional old codger on the payroll. And yet there are some people who keep defending this fool.
Sit Yo' Ass Down, Hans!

That's why I mentioned it. I wonder if he's going to hunt NPH down and lock him in a cage and make him do things NPH would NEVER do! (I'm joking of course!) LOL

Okay, Eric. Time to stop instigating! We all know you could mop the floor with Dougie Howser MD and that he disrespected you.
Now DROP IT!! Seriously, you'd think this is the first time in the guy's life that he's ever been called a disparaging name!!!
ENOUGH with this media circus!!! But I am sure Maria Bell and company are THRILLED with this. He's generating more buzz for the show with this media war than he would have if he had just sucked it up and did the 2 lines!!! People will be talking about this for weeks!!!!
Eric has been around long enough to know when to LET BYGONES BE BYGONES (which is what he SAID he was going to do, right?????!) so this seems to be intentional in order to stir up some controversy and press for Y&R!!

This story is getting as old as Eric Braeden. The first couple of post were somewhat hilarious. Now its just ridiculous. I am certain Eric may have a lot of fans, but there is no need for him to bully someone who actually spoke up about his shenanigans.
Jeez, haven't Eric heard about the anti-bully law?

Maybe Y& R Should Recast Victor With Ray Wise. He Doesnt Have An Issue With Only Two Lines

Well, look at when Braden didn't want to take a 500,000 dollars paycut because he was the star of the show and he would still make a million dollars a year and when everyone else was taking paycuts or being cut from the show. And I am a Victor Newman fan, but I am tired of him winning and getting away with everything because he is the great VN? IT is getting old and I think that Eric has something to do with the way VN never pays for anything anymore. JMO. But if Eric would of say that he had surgery and couldn't do it, I would of understand, but to dismiss it to say that it is not substance work, even if it is two lines, I don't blame NPH for calling him out. This all about publicity and will die down in a week, LOL. But this is better soap than what the soaps are putting out five days a week, LOL.

AppleRidge,
NPH is an inconsiderate ass. He didn't have all the facts and decided to attack Braeden publicly instead of doing so in private. NPH was so lazy and arrogant that he felt entitled to not clarify what happened. Instead he decided to use his power to crush Braeden. This is one of the sleaziest things I've seen. NPH could have checked with his show's producers or called Braeden. He did none of those things.
How would any of you feel if a colleague denounced you to millions of people, jeopardizing your good name and career based on false information? Would you be angry?
If there's no contract, either party can withdraw. Even if there is a contract, studios can still cancel.
I'm still shocked by the vicious comments about Eric Braeden. It's doubtful that Braeden is calling up people to give him their comments. The media are calling him and asking for comments.
I think the lack of empathy here is astounding. Braeden is an elderly man recovering from painful surgery who has a full-time job.
I wonder how many people commenting have never suffered or known someone who has suffered excruciating pain or recovered from major surgery? To expect anyone recuperating from major surgery not to look out for his health is ridiculous. People take sick days all the time. Why would someone with mobility an pain issues go out of his way to add extra work when he doesn't need it, especially when he could use his spare time to rest and heal?
Eric Braeden may be many things but to disregard the fact that he's 69 years old and recovering from major surgery seems disrespectful and unrealistic.
How many 70 year-old men do you know who are are working full time jobs, especially ones that are as demanding as Braeden's? Not many.

Betty White will Be 89 In January and has a series, Movies, comericals so AGE is nothing
Eric agreed wheter it was verbal or on paper he was BOOKED and he backed out cause he had few lines. It Had nothing to do with his surgery. He even said so.
Im sorry but as a vet he should know to ask about his screentime before you agree to do a role
Yes NPH probably shouldnt have used that word but something tells me if he would have said that EB was being unprofessional by bowing out at the last minute, EricBraden would have still fired back
Ok maybe some of this media sought him out but he keeps giving quotes and fueling the fire
Notice how NPH has said squat since he apologized for calling EB a Douche

Joss, 2 things: a night before cancellation is rude if we are talking about a dinner date, a night before cancellation when there is an entire cast and crew waiting is the act of a very arrogant man and if he is so sick and tired why complain about the 2 lines, he seems to say that if there was more to do he would have appeared, so more lines would have made the aches and pains go away?

Im Not Begruding His Physicality. Hip Surgery is alful But He has said Its got more to do with the lines than anything
Also This is a man who gave "Exclusive Interview" After "Exclusive Interview" About His Contract Issues
He has said he wants to drop it but If thats true why does he keep giving quotes. Say No Comment
At Least Neil Knew When To Stop Talking/Tweeting About It

Joss, how do you know what NPH did or didn't do? You're making a lot of assumptions in order to bend over backwards in defense of a douche.

But EB should just say "no comment" He already "stood up" for himself once, why is he commenting to everyone. It's ridiculous...

I'm equally sure they aren't.
None of this is good publicity. You have an old geezer who was exposed for his unprofessionalism and then is endlessly spouting what sounds like the ramblings of a man in the the grip of age-related dementia. Y&R's ratings are not going to benefit from this. Why would any new viewer tune in to watch this crazy old man in action?
You only want to create buzz when it makes you look good. Lindsay Lohan gets lots of buzz, and how is her career these days?
