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 is really a shame that a good actress could not be accepted by the viewers! How can the show continue with the same people and old story lines? How many romances can Nikki have? What about the Chow story line, now that is boring.
Raya will go on to bigger and better things like anothere actress that used to be on this show.
It has been nice to see a couple that is happy on the show instead of all that drama like Chow has caused. I can't believe it though. I thought her character added a lot to this somewhat predictable show.

I wanted to see where all this was going and now that's been destroyed. They are letting her go and that would have been a good storyline. The "Chloe character" is staying on with her lying ways and no one likes her. (Even though, it will come out in the end about her lies) I don't know where Y&R got their info from that her character (Sabrina)wasn't taken on by the fans. Her character brought some flair to the show which is starting to lack.

why are you letting raya who plays sabrina go?. you as writers are making a big mistake, most of the Y&R fans tuned in because of the story line between victor and sabrina. It was a wonderful story line, finally victor was truly happy with a genuine wife,who truly loved him, not for his wealth. Now i guess we will have to go back to the same old story line between spoiled brat nicky and her stuck up ways, this gets boring after a while between victor and nicky, sabrina was a breath of fresh air, and such a genuine story line and love story between victor and her. Well i guess i will not be tuning in to young and the restless anymore due to you taking sabrina away, i think you writers at young and the restless need to upgrade your staff and remove the old boring writers who are starting to distroy the show bit by bit. j.b montreal canada.

Why would Y & R let her go I really don't understand. I love her with Victor, and yes I am also sick of seeing Victor wuth Nikki.

so she's leaving the show and so is david.(david gonna die in a car crash!)
thats kinda sad.(not the david part)
i like sabrina,but honestly,i'd still prefer if nikki and victor were back together.

Thank God she is leaving. Her relationship with Victor was disgusting. I would fast forward so I would not have to watch their romantic moments. Thank God they were never shown in the Bedroom. She is beautiful and is a good actress, but she does not belong on Y&R.
Now I am ready for David to be gone. Hopefully they find out he is a murderer.

DO NOT SEND HER AWAY!!!!!!!I REMEMBER THE VASECTOMY;HOWEVER "VICTOR" NEEDS SOMEONE,ANYONE OTHER THAN NIKKI..
PLEASE WORK THIS OUT!!!!!SEND NIKKI AWAY FOR A WHILE, NOT SABRINA WHO IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!!

Please let the Lily character be involved in a tragedy, she is so lame, whiney and disgusting, better yet let her and the new Colleen character go, there would be no loss if those 2 left the show. Sabrina's character actually brought some old time 'class' back to the show instead of the boring humdrum of many of the characters and she is good with Victor. Nikki married David very soon and we all know where that marriage is going, but Sabrina truly loves Victor so let them be for a while. I certainly wouldn't want to see Nikki back with Victor, she doesn't deserve him at all!

Well I wish she was not going but i wish that victor find out about her and tell her too leave and no way that baby is victor and writer please get rid of CHLOE for good that storyline that is having cane baby I think that guilding light is using that storyline please write CHLOE off the show she suck.....bad... david too
