The Young And The Restless: It is a bittersweet celebration for all the Doug Davidson fans. May 23, 2022 marked 44 years of Doug’s debut on the soap opera. Of course, when he first made this debut, he didn’t know that he would receive so much love and appreciation. But now we know he is a veteran.
Back in the year 1978, Doug Davidson came to The Young And The Restless as the new guy and stayed to be not just an Emmy winner but also a daytime icon. He had become this person that every soap fan wanted to see on screen.
In fact, when the actor joined the cast, he had not thought that the soap would run for so long. However, he was happy that the show became such a long-running project. After years of being on The Young And The Restless, when his parts started getting short, the actor decided to move on. Long-time Y&R viewers would recall once upon a time Paul was one of the toughest guys in the GCPD. He and Christine were a super couple. However, over the years, things changed, and Paul became the back burner. So, he decided to move on.
In 2021, the actor said that he was sick of not having any serious storyline, and then he told his fans that “He is done.” While the actor made it clear that there was very little chance that he would return, fans still seemed to feel very hopeful that he would come back.
Die-hard fans of the actors do not miss on a single opportunity to ask the producers to bring Doug back. But will he return? We will have to wait to know. For now, we can just thank Doug Davidson for giving us Paul Williams and hope that someday we get it back. The Young And The Restless airs on CBS all weekdays. Make sure you tune in and enjoy.
