The residents of Genoa City may be full of secrets, but this Halloween, they were all about spirit — literally! The Young and the Restless cast, led by soap legend Eric Braeden (Victor Newman himself), threw fans into a frenzy with a behind-the-scenes Halloween celebration that was equal parts spooky and hilarious.

In a surprise video shared on social media, Braeden and his co-stars ditched the boardroom tension and romantic drama for a night of cobwebs, costumes, and pure fun. The clip showed the veteran actor moving to a Halloween remix while donning a sharp black cape and a mischievous grin, proving once again that even daytime TV icons know how to have a frightfully good time.

👻 The Cast That Dances Together…

Braeden wasn’t alone in the festivities. Co-stars Amelia Heinle (Victoria), Bryton James (Devon), Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), and Courtney Hope (Sally) joined in, showing off their best monster moves in a decorated CBS studio.
Fake cobwebs hung from the ceilings, fog machines billowed across the floor, and jack-o’-lanterns glowed around the set as the stars laughed their way through takes — and retakes — of their eerie dance.

“We work hard, we play harder! Happy Halloween from Genoa City!” Eric Braeden captioned his post, instantly sparking thousands of likes and fan comments.
