After a few years of uncertainty surrounding the character Paul Williams and portrayer Doug Davidson's "Young and the Restless" status, the picture is a lot clearer. Davidson lamented his experience in removing his belongings from the studio, marking the end of a run spanning over 40 years. He tweeted, "Well, I cleaned out my dressing room a week ago Saturday. Yes it was sad for several reasons. 1. It was my home for over 40 years and it was like a ghost town. Price has left, and the new owner of TV City isn't really keeping it up. The sets were all small and a bit tired." 

Paul has been mentioned more as of late on "Y&R" because of his estranged wife, Christine Williams, being featured more often. With Christine on the canvas more than her usual sporadic appearances, something needed to be said about her husband never being around. After the initial explanation, he was also referenced during a tense face-off between Christine and Paul's daughter, Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom). 

After a follower accused Davidson of being bitter in a response to his initial tweet, he wrote a follow-up, showing a display of gratitude about the opportunity to play Paul for four decades. He tweeted, "Thank you all for all the kind messages! Sending lots of love right back to you all!! And of course I'm eternally grateful to Bill and Lee Bell and CBS for EVERYTHING!"
