Breaking News! Raya Meddine Leaving The Young and the Restless!

Wednesday, July 16 2008


Raya Meddine (Shaun Proulx, ProudFM)
Raya Meddine, the beautiful actress who plays Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) new wife, Sabrina, has been let go from the show after only about five months. The actress joined the show in February 2008 as the best friend of Victor’s daughter, Victoria (Amelia Heinle), who had come to town to visit on her way to set up a new life in New York City.


**Mini-Spoiler**

No final airdate has been announced for the character of Sabrina, but as Soaps.com has reported earlier, previews show her involved in a tragedy that will unfold at the time of the Charity Ball.

Raya had signed a three-year contract, but there is a pervasive feeling in the soap community that her character, Sabrina, never quite caught on with viewers of Y&R, particularly when writers paired her so quickly with much-older mega-millionaire, Victor Newman. Since Sabrina also recently announced that she is expecting, viewers have been waiting to see if the scribes will address the fact that Victor is well-known to have had a vasectomy, and therefore, is the baby she is carrying actually his?

According to media reports, writers for the show are aware that fans are antsy about this complication, and are working on addressing it.

Soaps.com would like to wish Raya all the best in her future endeavors. Here’s hoping she’ll turn up in the soap world again soon, as she is certainly a wonderful actress!

It took me a while to finally get to like sabrina. Specially because nikki and victor are so played out. we did need a new topic, breath of fresh air. I hope she just can't take the pressure of everyone in GC. so she leaves or something, but don't kill her off. She might have a comeback unless they kill her off. and I hope it's not victors baby!!!!

With all the kids Victor has,how did all become pregnant unless, oh my god, the vasectomy didn't work.How many kids is that to date.

It is getting really old that everyone is sleeping with everyone.Is there not a couple that can stay together ?I don't know why Colleen is upset with Amber when, I guess the same will happen to her.Why throw stones at glass houses.Look at yourself.I guess I'm getting tired of the runaround from one sack to the other.And what about Brad and now Jill.

I was really hoping sabrina would stay on the show, I think the writers misinterpreted what the viewers was trying to say. The viewers was waiting for a big s/l about how Victor would remember or Ashley or Nikki tell him that he had a vasectomy, and then her scheming mother would come in and change the test results and Victor would put her and her mother in place, not him running back to Nikki, but have Nikki begging for him back when David takes all her cash. Then Victor will tell Nikki, "Separate we were played like fools, but together we will never be. LOL
Hey maybe I should apply for a position for a writer there.

y&r messed up this time i truly enjoyed sabrina with victor and and couldn't wait to see him rub it in nikki's face. it is a sad day to know that this coupling is over.

i am greatly disappointed.

I am sorry to here that Raya Meddine is leaving she is a good actress and the storyline was getting interesting and eventhough I was getting tired of Victoria acting like a spoiled brat.
