Y&R can’t let go of Paul
Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless are concerned about how the soap continues to toy with Doug Davidson through his character, Paul Williams. The CBS soap stopped using the 40-year veteran in 2018 but brought his family back to Genoa City during the 50-year celebration between March 2023 and 2024.
Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) recently called Paul in Peru to ask if he had heard from Heather Stevens (Vial Bloom). On Thursday, Daniel called the former police chief again to let him know his daughter was dead.
Should Paul be relegated to the past?
Viewers need to understand why Paul’s daughter and granddaughter, Lucy Romalotti (Lily O’Brien), returned to Genoa City while he remained in the country where he moved to be with them. They wonder why he is only kept alive on the CBS soap in the name.
Fans of The Young and the Restless say the show should rehire Doug Davidson if they are going to continue name-dropping. Some Virginia viewers say Paul Williams should be killed because his constant mention only reminds longtime fans how dirty he was treated.
