I genuinely adore her.

She has a great sense of humor.

It’s best not to dissect things too greatly."

Eric Braeden speaking to an audience

It also goes without saying that critics have taken notice of his skillful acting.

He won the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 1998.

It was his one and only win during his soap career.

Braeden added, “I have to thank my fellow actors for this.

Peter Bergman, Heather Tom, Joshua Morrow, and most of all Mel.”

That was Braeden’s only win ever during his career despite being nominated eight times.

He was also nominated for “America’s Favorite Couple” alongside Scott back in 2002, per hisIMDbpage.

That’s also why he’s not afraid to go off-script, either.

Braeden toldSoap Opera Digestin 2022, “Because I know the history of the character too much.

And I sometimes feel that something needs to be said, needs to be emphasized.”

He said, “I love my life.

I love my colleagues.

I love my family and friends.

So do I see myself retiring anytime soon?

My life has been enriched by having been introduced to so many things.”
