The Young and the Restless Spoilers – Doug Davidson Has Been With The Young And The Restless Since 1978

Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall Paul Williams was introduced to the show on May 23, 1978, two years earlier than Braeden himself, and has been portrayed by Doug Davidson ever since. Initially Paul was a “bad boy”, who had a romance with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), giving her an STD. The relationship ultimately ended, but the two have remained friends since.

After a year on the series, William J. Bell gave the character a proper backstory, surname and family. This included his notoriously unstable sister Patty Williams (Stacey Haiduk). After a failed marriage to April Stevens (Cynthia Eilbacher)—who gave birth to his daughter Heather Stevens (Jennifer Landon), —, focus turned towards Paul’s career as a private investigator, as well as his relationship and eventual marriage to and later divorce from Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman).

Paul’s string of unsuccessful romances with women—including his ill-fated bride Cindy Lake (DeAnna Robbins), and Cassandra Rawlins (Nina Arvesen), the wife of one of his clients—continued. Over the years, Paul continued to become heavily involved in various storylines as a private investigator. He finally found Miss Right in Christine “Cricket” Blair (Lauralee Bell) who he married in 1996.

Y&R Comings And Goings – Daniel Goddard Was Written Out In 2019

Daniel Goddard, who had played Cane Ashby since January 2007, was written out of the show in 2019, when he posted the following on Instagram: “It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that I will no longer be part of the cast of the Young and the Restless. I am as shocked and gutted as you are… I almost didn’t post but I felt that the most loyal & loving fans an actor could wish for deserved to know and watch the last story arc knowing the rich meaning behind it. I am forever grateful for the 13 years I have been a part of the Y&R family… but sadly it seems that without Neil and Lily there just is no Cane.”

Kristoff St. John had played Neil Winters, and Christel Khalil just returned to the show as Lily Winters, Cane’s ex-wife, and had been recruited to run the new Chancellor Media company by Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) along with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). Goddard also appreciated Braeden’s sentiments and sent him a shout out on Twitter. “My dear friend @EBraeden I miss u & #YR so very, very much. My sincerest respect to u always.”

Of course, everything as far as returning cast members or underused cast members being used more remains uncertain at The Young and The Restless for now, until production is allowed to resume.
