Veteran soap opera actor Eric Braeden is enraged by Eva Longoria‘s recent “derogatory” remarks about soap operas and he’s letting everyone know. The 81-year-old actor, who has starred as Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless since 1980, slammed Eva, who acted on the show between 2001 and 2003, in a tweet spree on Sunday, March 19, after she made some apparently unsettling remarks about the show on a recent appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? “EVA LONGORIA: you just made derogatory remarks about daytime actors!” Eric seemingly yelled across the screen. “You simply weren’t good enough to survive the pressures of this medium!”
“You were very lucky to get on that ‘housewife’ show!,” he continued, referring to the hit ABC series, Desperate Housewives, on which Eva, 48, starred from 2004 until 2012. “You did one show in 8-12 days, with mediocre but salacious dialogue!” He added, “Our actresses would run rings around you!! And they did then!! From Robert [De Niro] to whoever they all are, many of them started in the medium you denigrate! It shows a complete lack of class!!”
