CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers finds that star Doug Davidson has opened up about his character Paul Williams and his long-lasting on-screen love. Here’s what he has to say.
Opening up about Paul and Christine’s love story from the 1993-1996 era, Doug admits that the two of them falling in love didn’t happen overnight. He told Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, “Bill spent four years building a relationship for Paul and Christine. In real life, Michael Damian got Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway and if you recall, Danny and Cricket were together at the time. While Michael was gone, Bill was stuck with what to do romantically with either one of us. Christine was a lawyer and Paul was an investigator and we were helping these elderly people deal with a slumlord.

When asked if the fan reaction to Christine and Paul’s relationship surprised him, Doug answered with, “I think what was incredibly interesting to me was how popular that story became because we had a bunch of older characters and they were played by very charming and adept actors. I think our audiences was able to connect to them as relatives. The young people helping the older people, I think it was a lot more popular than anticipated.”
And while it certainly took a little longer before Christine and Paul to admit they had feelings for each other, the on-screen couple is still going strong to this day. However, Doug does admit that it was a slow build between them. He added, “By the time it took place it was believable because Danny had gone for a while and Paul and Chris were working so closely together. They weren’t just thrown together. I’m even trying to remember their first kiss. It could have been a couple of years into it and it was awhile before they got married. And then there was another curveball!”
