Patty Williams’ Long History in Genoa City
Patty Williams has never been a quiet presence in Genoa City. The character was first introduced in 1980 as the younger sister of Paul Williams, played by Doug Davidson. At the time, the role was portrayed by Tammy Taylor.
Over the years, Patty became known for chaos, manipulation, and dangerous behavior, making her one of the show’s most unpredictable characters and a constant source of trouble.
What brings Patty back now?
For now, the details behind Patty’s return are being kept under wraps. However, what is known is that her return will come with plenty of mystery and suspense.
Speaking to TV Insider, executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith shared his excitement, saying, “Everyone at Y&R couldn’t be more excited to welcome back Stacy for this exciting storyline when trouble once again finds Patty.”
Outside of her work on Y&R and Days of Our Lives, Haiduk also appeared on All My Children, where she played Hannah Nicholson from 2007 to 2008.
