Douglas was fired from "Young and the Restless, The" (1973) in July of
2001, after 7 months on the show, because of a reported power struggle between head writer Kay Alden
and executive producer Edward Scott. His role was recast with David
Lee Russek. He was subsequently hired that same month by NBC's "Passions"
where he played 'Antonio Lopez Fitzgerald' for 3 years.
