Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on October 24, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Doug Davidson! From solving Genoa City's most puzzling mysteries as Detective Paul Williams to charming us all with your witty one-liners and unforgettable expressions, you've truly made "The Young and the Restless" a joy to watch. Your dedication over decades has given fans countless memorable moments—whether it's cracking tough cases or navigating dramatic family twists.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you more laughs than Victor Newman has business rivals—and fewer surprises than Paul's investigations usually uncover! May your day be filled with happiness, cake (hopefully drama-free), and plenty of love from friends, family, and devoted viewers alike.
