The Young And The Restless News: Doug Davidson Fights Back!

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) star, Doug Davidson, who plays Paul Williams, took aim at social media hate on Twitter. In a series of hateful tweets, attacking Davidson’s friendship with Kristoff St. John, his return to Y&R, and supportive of Michelle Stafford’s return, a couple Twitter users took things a little too far with the Y&R actor. Here’s what you need to know about the Twitter exchange.

Young And The Restless – Doug’s Friendship With St. John Attacked

For whatever reason, one Twitter user attacked Davidson for mentioning Kristoff in an interview. They accused him of using his friendship with Kristoff to stay in the press. And, many people took issue with it.

They jumped to the conclusion that Doug used it to his benefit. However, Davidson denies that stating Kristoff’s support of Paul Williams is one of the reasons he is back on the canvas right now.

Y&R fans Divided On His Return

This part of the social media war was complicated. There are many people who support Davidson. They are thrilled he’s back and they are campaigning for him to be put on a contract. These followers also expressed their opinion on Jordi Villasuso (Rey Rosales), stating that they don’t support him because he was basically Paul’s replacement.

Other Y&R fans voiced their opinion by saying that Paul didn’t need to return. He hasn’t done anything since he’s come back and accused his character of being a “terrible cop.”

Young and The Restless Fans Upset Over His Phyllis Position

Doug expressed his support of Michelle Stafford on Twitter. He said that he was thrilled she would be returning to the role she created. And, he said that he will miss Gina Tognoni, as she is a fabulous actor.

The Y&R fans went ballistic. They attacked his position. They went as far as to say they won’t watch the show as long as Stafford is on. It was crazy, to be honest.

Here’s the thing on this—Davidson is an actor. He isn’t making any casting decisions. And, of course, he’s happy Michelle’s returning –he’s worked with her for almost two decades.

The soap opera fanbase has gotten so toxic, attacking soap stars often. We need to remember; these actors are people with feelings and watch how we speak to and about them.
