For four decades, viewers fawned over him as the handsome Detective Paul Williams.
In 2018, Davidson marked his 40th anniversary on the show.
However, his subsequent appearances were brief.

It was the first position, even above family in the moment-to-moment thing.
So the fact that it was cut off after 40 years was shocking to my spirit."
However, that was one of the last times Paul was seen working at the Genoa City Police Department.

He alsoargued, “I think I am done.
After 43 years I am treated like a day player.

This could be a case for the Paul Williams Detective Agency.
