Kristoff St. John (Neil) took to social media to welcome back Josh Griffith as the show’s head writer, and share his thoughts about longtime co-worker Doug Davidson (Paul) being dropped to recurring status earlier this year. “Let’s welcome @joshgriffith59 back to Y&R!” the Emmy-winning fave posted. “His inspiring leadership, focusing on the core characters, will prevail. The character assassination of Paul@DougDavidsonYR was brutal. Raise your voice! Bill Bell Sr. created this legendary show. It is our duty to protect his legacy.”
