Victor Newman\u2019s no stranger to adversaries on The Young and the Restless<\/a><\/em>. A businessman of Victor\u2019s stature would be justified in using a sledgehammer to deal with his foes, but Eric Braeden<\/a>, who plays the mustached mogul, prefers, at times, to use a surgeon\u2019s scalpel to deal with his enemies.<\/p>\n

For his performance as a cerebral strategist, TV Insider is giving Daytime Performer of the Week honors to Braeden.<\/p>\n

Recently, Victor invited Phyllis (Michelle Stafford<\/a>) to join him at his table at Society. Understandably, she was surprised given that they aren\u2019t particularly tight and Phyllis is in bed (figuratively) with Cane (Billy Flynn<\/a>), who claims to have Artificial Intelligence software that could destroy Victor\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

Victor attempted to acquire information from Phyllis, but he realized he could do that by just letting her talk so he could expose her vulnerabilities. Hoping to gain respectability among those she feels has wronged her, Phyllis went on the attack. She told Victor he seemed rattled because Cane was coming for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, \u2018rattled\u2019 isn\u2019t really the right word,\u201d Victor calmly corrected his coffee companion.<\/p>\n

Instead, Victor said he was merely curious. Phyllis theorized that Victor only asked for her company so he could get information from her.<\/p>\n
