Doug Davidson Is Done At Y&R
On Sunday, Young and The Restless star Doug Davidson went to Twitter to share some shocking news with longtime fans of the soap.
He wrote, “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. âšī¸”
That means on Saturday, July 15, the actor that portrayed Paul Williams for over four decades cleaned out his work closet. This means he is done with the CBS soap!
To summarize his tweet, he went to CBS Television City to clear out his locker. When he referred to “Price” It was regarding The Price Is Right. This popular CBS gameshow is now going to film out of Glendale, California at Haven. This is also where Let’s Make A Deal will be filming as well.
Back in the old days, both iconic game shows were filmed at the same studio as Y&R. Now, those days are gone.
