Doug Davidson
The longest-serving cast member on Y&R, Doug Davidson has played bad-boy-turned-detective Paul Williams since the 1970s. But in early 2020, fans started to talk about seeing the actor less and less on the series. Shortly after rumors began to spread about his possible dismissal from the show, Davidson opened up about his absence.
He said his contract had run its course and that the show hadn’t renewed it. Upset, fans started a petition urging Y&R to take him back. While fans wait to see how the situation plays out, they can visit Davidson’s Instagram (@DougDavidsonYr) to see what he’s been up to lately. The actor often shares snapshots from his garden or pictures from his time on Y&R.
Melissa Claire Egan

Egan might look familiar to fans of Dawson’s Creek, One Tree Hill, or Criminal Minds because, according to CBS, she’s appeared in those TV shows and more. Y&R fans will love her Instagram for all the sweet snapshots of her with fellow cast members.
