Upsetting news for fans of The Young and the Restless’ Max Ehrich: On October 7, the actor was arrested for battery on a person 65 years or older — domestic violence against a family member, even, TMZ reports.

Earlier that same day, Fen’s former portrayer raised concerns among his social media followers, the website alleges, after behaving erratically during an Instagram Live and sharing cryptic posts. He posted bond on October 8 and was released.

The Emmy-nominated Young & Restless alum had played Lauren and Michael’s only child together from 2012-15. Zach Tinker (later Sonny on Days of Our Lives) took over the role three years later.

Ehrich’s other credits include Nickelodeon’s 100 Things to Do Before High School, MTV’s Sweet/Vicious and Lifetime’s American Princess. More recently, he assumed Michael Douglas’ Fatal Attraction role in Reckless, a modern-day reimagining of the ’80s thriller, and spent the summer working on digital soap The Bay playing the brother of Mike C. Manning (Smitty, Beyond the Gates).

“I get some really kind messages on a daily basis,” he told Digital Journal in August, “and I do look at [my followers’] messages and comments, and it’s very nice to have support and an online community. My fans are dope!”

We can only hope that Ehrich receives the help and care that he may need.
