The actor posted a sweet message on his Twitter account, confirming his decision to come back and writing it wouldn’t have happened without the loyalty, support, and kindness of his amazing viewers.

Okay! So, the cat is out of the bag. NONE of any of this would happen without all of your undying loyalty, support and kindness. All of you are the reason “Paul” is back on the canvas. THANK YOU SO MUCH. @EBraeden has been incredible the entire time. A huge thanks to him as well!
