Over at The Young and the Restless it looks like it might be the end of the road for the show’s longest-running cast member. Doug Davidson, who plays Paul Williams, responded to Twitter fans asking why he hadn’t been seen on screen since November of 2020. “I am tired of fighting for the obvious,” announced Davidson, adding that “ I think I am done.
