Fans may have believed that the wicked Ian Ward was the biological father of Dylan McAvoy on The Young and the Restless, but they will soon discover another big shocker in Genoa City. Dylan, played by Steve Burton, is actually the son of detective Paul Williams.

Burton, an Emmy winner who has been on the CBS soap opera since last year, recently spoke with TVGuide.com and revealed that the explosive news will affect far more people than just the father and son.

"As we've already found out, Dylan and Paul have the same blood type and finally the news comes out that Paul is his dad, which is obviously a big shocker," he said. "This is whole new territory for those two and for many others. You're going to see how this affects Paul and Nikki, and Paul and Christine, and Victor and Nikki."

Yet, Burton also explained that eventually Paul and Dylan will make peace with their new situation. "This is so much better than having Ian Ward for a dad and, when things settle, I think Dylan and Paul can do this," Burton said.

And as for Mr. Ward, it seems he will stay in town to cause some more trouble in the future. "We love having Ray Wise here!" Burton said. "He's awesome and I don't think he's going anywhere. Just wait. Ian is about to throw another wrench into the works."
