Young And The Restless Spoilers: Why Won’t Y&R Bring Doug Davidson Back?

Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that the 50th-anniversary celebration show taking place in March is sure to be epic. A number of familiar faces are set to return; however, one that is not is Genoa City’s current Police Chief and fan favorite, Paul Williams, played by Doug Davidson.

Considering how long Davidson was with the show, and how he wasn’t given a proper send-off, has the daytime drama dropped the ball on a tremendous opportunity with their bi-centennial celebration? Why won’t the soap bring Paul Williams back?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – The Fans Want Him Back, So Why Not Bring Him Back?

Soap.SheKnows.com recently conducted a poll asking fans which cast member they’d most like to see return for the Y&R’s 50th anniversary. Viewers overwhelmingly replied that Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) is the character they wish would come back.

Davidson was much loved during his time on the Y&R. His character was truly one of the “good guys”, with the “total package”; handsome, smart, witty, fair, hilarious, and charming. Doug started off on the soap in 1978 and at the time of his departure in early 2019, he was the longest-standing cast member on the show. The fact that the series swept his exit under the rug and didn’t give him a proper send-off is probably one of the reasons for fan outcry about a return. Paul is “somewhere” in GC right now, walking aimlessly around, mentioned at times, but not seen or heard by the audience, which adds to fan frustration. A little closure would be nice. But will it ever happen?

With Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) still in the mix, it looks like the old band is getting together for a reunion, but will it be the same without Paul?

Something could have happened between Doug Davidson and the Y&R, prompting this almost “stubborn” behavior from the show to not only refuse the legendary Williams character a proper exit, but also a fun, heartwarming, and nostalgic return to the daytime drama for a milestone episode. Maybe someday fans will learn the truth; maybe they won’t; however, GC and the bicentennial event won’t be the same without Paul Williams.
