The Young and the Restless: 5 characters who need to make a comeback
1) Paul Williams
Doug Davidson played the role of Paul Williams, a former Chief of Police and a reliable and hardworking character. He was famous for his strong will to solve crimes and his close relationships with many people in Genoa City.
Williams’ emotional past with Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) was filled with problems and love. Their relationship is one of the most unforgettable love stories of The Young and the Restless.
Paul’s return might spark old feelings while potentially creating new problems, especially with his long-running rivalries and friendships.
Doug Davidson’s sudden departure from the show upset many fans, but his return could bring back the important balance and excitement to Genoa City.
2) David Kimble
Michael Corbett played David Kimble in The Young and the Restless as one of the show’s most famous bad guys. He tried to trick and marry rich women, like Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) and Nina Webster (Tricia Cast), and these storylines kept the viewers on the edge of their seats.
David’s sneaky and evil plans kept the audience engaged with the show, but his dead body being found in the trash compactor was a real shock to the viewers. His sudden death made his storyline feel unfinished.
Michael Corbett was recently seen in The Bold and the Beautiful, and watching him back on The Young and the Restless will be exciting and dramatic for the fans.
3) Drucilla Winters
Victoria Rowell played the role of Drucilla Winters in The Young and the Restless and brought a combination of strength and sensitivity to the show.
Drucilla started as a troubled teen and evolved into a loving mom and a successful model. Her journey in the show made her story engaging and relevant to the viewers.
The last time viewers saw her was during the cliffside confrontation with Phyllis and Sharon, after which she fell off the cliff and disappeared from the show.
The viewers were left with questions about her disappearance and getting her back might resolve all those unanswered plots.
Her comeback to The Young and the Restless would not only impact her daughter Lily Winters but also reignite old conflicts, particularly with Phyllis, who was involved in her supposed death.
4) Dylan McAvoy
Steve Burton played the role of Dylan McAvoy, who added peace and dependability to Sharon’s chaotic life. Dylon was the real son of Paul Williams and Nikki Newman. One of the show’s important storylines was Dylan finding out about his parents and his relationship with them.
Daylan left Genoa City to keep his secret identity safe. His departure left a gaping hole in the show. If Daylan comes back to The Young and the Restless, his relationship with Sharon will give her a steady partner after many unstable relationships.
Dylan’s skills as a detective and his strong sense of right and wrong would also help solve new mysteries and deal with conflicts in the city. His return will make the current stories more interesting.
5) Sheila Carter
Kimberlin Brown played the role of Sheila Carter, one of the most well-known bad characters in soap opera history. She first appeared on The Young and the Restless in 1990 and was known to be clever and tricky.
Sheila’s return to the show would create drama with Phyllis and Lauren Baldwin. If Sheila comes back, she might team up with Phyllis, her old rival, adding suspense and excitement to the show.
Recently, she also appeared in The Bold and the Beautiful, where she has been avoiding getting caught.
