In sad news for fans and for the legendary daytime drama, Doug Davidson (Paul Williams) took to social media to report that he had cleared out his dressing room.

The actor debuted in the role back in 1978 but hasn’t been seen on air as the GCPD police chief since 2020.

His post seems to make it clear that after years of sporadic use, the show has parted ways with the daytime icon. Davidson kept it classy, thanking fans for their “kind messages” and stated that he is “eternally grateful to Bill and Lee Bell (the soap’s co-creators) and CBS for EVERYTHING!”

Fans had rallied the show for years to increase the actor’s screentime, and Davidson periodically addressed his professional situation on socials. In January 2018, the actor’s contract was not renewed, and he was put on recurring status.

Since then, the actor has been nearly absent from the screen.

It has been mentioned onscreen that Paul retired from the police force and moved to Portugal. He made the move after he and his wife Christine (Lauralee Bell) separated and divorced.
