Young And The Restless Spoilers: Did The Soap Just Hint At Paul Williams’s Return – Character Comes Back To Solve Daughter’s Death?

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers imply that the cat is completely out of the bag now, and everyone knows that Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) is not out of town clearing her head, rather, she has passed away. Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) dumped her over a bridge into a river, and it didn’t take long for Heather’s body to surface.

As Daniel Romalotti’s (Michael Graziadei) and Lucy Romalotti’s (Lily Brooks O’Briant) world crumbles, could a familiar face return to help ease the pain and get to the bottom of things?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Daniel Romalotti’s Dreaded Phone Call

Y&R spoilers imply that during the Thursday, October 3 show, Daniel had to make the dreaded phone call to Heather’s dad, Paul Williams (Doug Davidson).

Young And The Restless Spoilers: Did The Soap Just Hint At Paul Williams’s Return – Character Comes Back To Solve Daughter’s Death?

In an emotional, one-sided conversation (as fans couldn’t hear Paul’s responses), Daniel gave Paul the news about Heather’s passing and asked him to come to Genoa City. Could this foreshadow a return?

As a long-time law enforcement agent and private investigator, Paul’s comeback to GC would not only be for Heather’s memorial and to be with Lucy and Daniel during this hard time, but he could place his investigative skills to good use and find Heather’s killer – whether that’s Sharon or not.

Y&R Spoilers – What Are The Chances?

Y&R spoilers suggest that Paul’s return is unlikely, but anything is possible in the land of soaps. Then again, maybe he does “return,” but all his conversations and meetings with others take place offscreen.

There’s only one actor who’s ever played Paul, and that’s Doug Davidson. Unfortunately, he was taken off contract in 2018 and was last seen on canvas in 2020. In fact, Paul’s exit storyline to Portugal and failed marriage to Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) all took place off screen.

Many fans were upset when Paul exited storylines, and the character was brushed under the rug. After all, while he was on the Y&R, he was the longest-serving character on the show.

While there seems to be little chance that Doug Davidson could be enticed to return, especially since he wasn’t part of the Y&R’s 50th anniversary special back in 2023, Y&R viewers can only hope that there is a chance Paul and Doug could come back for this special storyline.

    Wouldn’t pail want to bury his daughter. Kinda weird if he doesn’t come back.
    Also sharon wrapped up Heather so it’s obvious it’s a murder.
    The apt building should have cameras. This storyline is ridiculous

    1. Lisa says

      Yes, definitely Paul should return to the Y&R as a cop and stay on for good. He was the best cop. The show was never the same without him, boring now actually. Ridiculous they let him go. Please bring him back as an actor too.

  2. Renee Aubuchon says

    I would love to see Paul come back. He was one of my favorite characters and it really saddened me when he was no longer with the show. I really do hope that he wants to come back, and has the opportunity to do so! It would be great to see him again! Having everything related to him happen off camera would just feel cheap.

  3. Sue says

    I hope Y & R does bring back Paul. I was upset when he left. Please bring him back!

  4. Linda says

    I love Paul. Please bring him back!

  5. Brenda Littell says

    Yes Paul always did a great job on Y&R & the show has never been the same. We need to see Paul on screen ! I have watched this soap since it began, its been my favorite. The actors are all great but I think the show has changed some & I preferred the show as it used to be.

  6. Kdlang says

    I hope they DO NOT bring Paul back. He’s more annoying than cricket the bug. I fast forwarded all scenes those two were in for decades. Same as Paul’s mother. Holier than tho!

    I’m happy they got rid of Heather, now time for Dianne to go too.

    1. Norma says

      Just wondering why you bother watching it?

  7. DarleneAnne says

    As for Doug Davidson coming back I don’t know if he will. He was very angry over the way it was handled by the show. Plus he’s very busy picking arguments with non Donald Trump fans on X!

  8. Debbie says

    The way they handled Doug Davidsons character, they should be ashamed of themselves !!!!! He should of never been let go….. It would be great for him to come back for the viewers, but the PTB are ignorant, and don’t want to pay kiss-up, brown-nosed apologies to Doug…… You let go of a class act, now try and get him back for the viewers and forget about him relationship with Christine.

  9. Kristi says

    Yes bring back Paul they talk about him to much not to.

  10. LeLe says

    I would love to see Paul Williams again. I would love to see Doug Davidson be the one and only person playing the character Paul Williams on Y&R. I have no idea what happened between him and the owners or writers of this soap opera but I so wish they would work out their problem(s) and Doug come back. There has been many story lines that I would’ve like to see Paul Williams helping solve the case. Please pass this on to the owners of the Young and the Restless soap opera to PLEASE SOLVE THE PROBLEM BETWEEN THEM AND DOUG DAVIDSON, GET BACK ON GOOD TERMS AND MAKE HIM PART OF THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS AGAIN.

  11. Linda Farabaugh says

    Why did he ever leave? Bring him back.

  12. Kris Marie says

    Oh please bring Paul back! I hate Sharon now, planting those bloody towels to frame Daniel! So angry! She needs to be caught.

    1. Norma says

      They keep saying in these articles that someone else may have done it. It wouldn’t be easy to create that scenario after watching Sharon pushing the body over the bridge. I hope it was somebody else. I would hate for Sharon to leave.

      1. Connie Little says

        She’ll just take a few weeks leave in a mental hospital then back easy peasy

  13. ELAW says

    Yes Bring Paul(Doug Davidson) Back if only to Solve his Daughter’s Death and Bring (Vail Bloom) back if only to haunt Sharon (for Months in Jail/Mental health place) that would bring out some good acting. And Hire Some NEW Writer’s This isn’t writing like the old days. I have been watching Y&R since I was about 17 years old My Mom had it on regular and on holidays from school I got hooked. I am over 60 and it’s quite boring now
