Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers imply that the cat is completely out of the bag now, and everyone knows that Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) is not out of town clearing her head, rather, she has passed away. Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) dumped her over a bridge into a river, and it didn’t take long for Heather’s body to surface.

As Daniel Romalotti’s (Michael Graziadei) and Lucy Romalotti’s (Lily Brooks O’Briant) world crumbles, could a familiar face return to help ease the pain and get to the bottom of things?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Daniel Romalotti’s Dreaded Phone Call

Y&R spoilers imply that during the Thursday, October 3 show, Daniel had to make the dreaded phone call to Heather’s dad, Paul Williams (Doug Davidson).

In an emotional, one-sided conversation (as fans couldn’t hear Paul’s responses), Daniel gave Paul the news about Heather’s passing and asked him to come to Genoa City. Could this foreshadow a return?

As a long-time law enforcement agent and private investigator, Paul’s comeback to GC would not only be for Heather’s memorial and to be with Lucy and Daniel during this hard time, but he could place his investigative skills to good use and find Heather’s killer – whether that’s Sharon or not.

Y&R Spoilers – What Are The Chances?

Y&R spoilers suggest that Paul’s return is unlikely, but anything is possible in the land of soaps. Then again, maybe he does “return,” but all his conversations and meetings with others take place offscreen.

There’s only one actor who’s ever played Paul, and that’s Doug Davidson. Unfortunately, he was taken off contract in 2018 and was last seen on canvas in 2020. In fact, Paul’s exit storyline to Portugal and failed marriage to Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) all took place off screen.

Many fans were upset when Paul exited storylines, and the character was brushed under the rug. After all, while he was on the Y&R, he was the longest-serving character on the show.

While there seems to be little chance that Doug Davidson could be enticed to return, especially since he wasn’t part of the Y&R’s 50th anniversary special back in 2023, Y&R viewers can only hope that there is a chance Paul and Doug could come back for this special storyline.
