Hadley made his debut as the Williams family patriarch in 1980. Upon his initial departure in 1991, Carl became an unseen character who was kept alive off screen, always said to be “in the other room.”
Hadley would return to Y&R in 1998, at which point it was established that Carl had been beaten to near death and was a victim of amnesia. He’d started a new life as Jim Bradley, and would never remember the family he left behind in Genoa City.
The actor made his final Y&R appearance in 1999.
