After watching today's episode(Phloe make out session) I was thinking...didn't I see this before.
Do you guys remember when he went out with Cynthia and they made out and he didn't finish because he was thinking of Chloe.
And also according to Wednesday preview he goes to a Christmas Party uninvited and get embarrassed in front of the guest. Same thing happen in 2001 when he tried to crash Hope's party.
Can the writers think of anything new with his character.

Now that you mention them, yes, I do have a sense of deja vu re both storyline elements. I vividly recall the time Philip nearly 'made out' with Cynthia, only to back out when thoughts of Chloe entered his head. And, I recall that 'Mother of the Year' party Lexi threw for Hope, that Philip crashed. (It was one of Jay's very few scenes with Renee Jones.) Same goes for Philip being on the losing end of a triangle (Shelle/Phelle), on Philip being so in love with a woman who reject him; Philip being 'in love' with a woman sending him mixed signals, pitting him against another romantic rival, etc.
This show is notorious for recycled stories - Shelle/Phelle is a 'new spin' on Broe/Phloe, with a young child thrown in for good measure. There's a 'seen it, watched it' feel to many of the stories. I've been reading that many feel the Philip/Belle story is a retelling of the Victor/Caroline romance - a romance that was never actually shown on screen.
BTW - I've been so incredibly impressed with Jay's work of late. As great as he's always been, he's been knocking it out of the ballpark every single episode. It's hard to believe an actor can be this good, this real, this layered, given the pressures of daytime production - the work he's been delivering is feature film caliber - quality feature film caliber.
