The Young and the Restless legend Eric Braeden shuts down feud rumors with a fellow soap pal! We know that political differences can often create divides, especially when it comes to long-standing debates between Democrats and Republicans. However, when it comes to Y&R stars Eric and Doug Davidson, this difference has no bearing on their friendship. Check out Eric’s sweet little note to Doug!
Eric has NO Bad Blood with Doug
Fans of *The Young and the Restless* have long speculated that Eric Braeden and Doug Davidson’s differing political views may have strained their relationship. However, Eric, who plays Victor Newman, recently shared some heartfelt words about his longtime friend. In response to a fan who hinted that their political differences might impact their friendship, Braeden laughed it off, saying, “Hahahaha! Dougie will always be my friend, no matter how much we differ politically!”
He also expressed his hope for Doug’s return to Genoa City, adding, “We all miss his humor!” Doug, who plays Paul Williams, responded with a heartwarming smiling face and heart emoji. This sweet exchange seems to have put any rumors or negativity to rest, don’t you think?
Their bond clearly goes beyond politics. Meanwhile, this generous act comes on the heels of Davidson’s speculated Y&R comeback. Paul’s daughter Heather Stevens’s recent passing has shaken Genoa City to the core. Her loved ones, particularly her ex, Daniel, are struggling to grapple with the loss. The poor guy talked to Paul, over the phone to share the devastating news.
Will Daniel’s emotional plea to bring him back be successful? While Daniel’s reaction seemed promising, there’s still no official confirmation. However, Eric’s post welcoming Doug back hints at the possibility of Paul, who has been off-screen in Portugal, returning to the show. As for Doug Davidson, he hasn’t given any clear signs of making a comeback on The Young and the Restless just yet.
So, that leaves us with two possibilities here that: either Paul decides to keep staying away. Or he makes his grand return, but we only hear about it through other Genoa City folks!
