I recieved this in an email just now and thought I would bring it to SON for those who are interested. Philip/JKJ Fans are starting a campaign. This is from JKJ-NOW Boards.

Hi,

Jay is now into the 4th month of his return to DOOL. Since his debut

in mid January, he's been chasing Claire, Shawn and Belle (i.e.,

Chelle), and . . . well, that just about covers it. After Ken Corday and

Hogan Sheffer practically hounded Jay - very publicly, for months on end -

he returns - - and they completely underutilized him and his talent.

Based on the many posts on the SoapCity, NBC JKJ-JP and JKJ-NOW boards,

NO ONE is satisfied with how they're writing Philip - he's merely a

catalyst in the Chelle saga; outside of his one designated purpose (i.e.,

keeping Chelle on the run), he simply doesn't exist onscreen.

Enough is enough. We want Jay front and center - and we want it NOW.

We're launching a campaign to - hopefully - gain the attention of

Corday, Sheffer, NBC and the two soap publications. Please check out the

following links, which provide complete campaign info, names and addresses

of who to write, and a template campaign letter:

PLEASE join the campaign, send out as many letters and e-mails out as

can. (I've already sent 5 e-mails, and have 6 completed campaign

letters to drop off in the mail.) It's high time Corday and Sheffer showed

their appreciation of Jay - perhaps we need to nudge them a bit, to

remind them of WHY they so visibly courted this very talented actor to

return to their program.

Also, PLEASE feel free to share the links with others - post them on

various related sites. We need as many people taking part in this

campaign as possible.

So many have been posting the past few weeks, about how they've enjoyed

Jay's onscreen moments with Lauren, James, Bryan and Alison. Jay's a

very talented actor possessing considerable range and depth - he can

play romantic, he can deliver a dry line with impeccable timing, he can

bring true, raw emotion to the screen. We want this - and more - on a

routine basis. Enough with the one-note writing. Give JKJ His OWN

Storyline! We can all make a difference for Jay - if we act together, and

if we take action NOW.

Thank you for your continues support of JKJ!

Sincerely,

Steve

Well, he should be angered that his characer has no character growth at all. He's just a baby EJ, obsessing about a child that already has parents. I know he loves Claire, but relax, relate, release Phil. Or catch up on some Dr. Phil.

Urgh. I agree with what they are saying, but I don't want to see him front and center and on my screen every day (and it seems like that is what they are clamoring for). I also think this is the type of petition that Corday will actually listen to and we will end up seeing him on our screens everyday. Enough of that. They had these big plans to make him back bad daddy but IMO he couldn't handle it. It was weird because the intent was clear that they were going to attempt to make him big but then he just dropped off the air and his purpose begun to dwindle. It almost became obvious that Phillip's role in the runaway storyline would dissapear just so the storyline could go on forever and not progress. (Lazy writing...)

If this is from his website maybe there is some obvious tension behind the screen as well and JKJ is revealing that he is not happy with the way his character is going. Anyways they seem like they want to see him every day and I don't think that is going to benefit the show at all.

Jay Johnson sucks. He can't play a villain well. However, the writing for Phillip is laughable at the moment... he isn't his own character. He's simply an obstacle for Shawn and Belle, a supporting player in their story. I'd love to see us get inside his psyche and have a little focus on him for once.

Okay I like the actor and I'm glad hes back. He does have potential and his good looks don't hurt either. HOWEVER like the above poster said he is being written in such a pathetic manner. When will the writers at Days get it? I DO NOT CARE how many times Philip screams that he, "loves Claire" or "Claire is MY daughter" because the simple TRUTH is that she's NOT his. And in real life a person would have walked away from the situation a LONG time ago. Its ridiculous that they have him chasing Shawn and Belle around the world for a baby. If you want a child so badly go have one with Willow. Grow up. Accept the facts and move on. God I'm so sick of the whole Philip aspect of the Shawn/Belle storyline. They could have him do so much more in Salem rather than obsess over a child that is not his.

I like JKJ and I still see potential in Philip despite the inconsistent writing but I don't want him on everyday. I don't think these people do either. I think they are campaigning for Jay to be treated better and to have the writing for him improve. That is all. i hope they get their wish.

Front & Center my ass.

Heck Phillip has a child with Mimi that's supposed to be on the way cause of the mix up(with the surrogacy), he doesn't even seem to care about his own biological child

I've seen great potential for Jay since his return. However, I must agree, if he were put on air everyday, I wouldn't be too thrilled, especially if it revolved around the Shelle storyline.

I think that storyline was scratched altogether. The surrogate was pregnant with their child at the time Belle was pregnant with her baby. Considering Claire about a year (?) old, I don' think we're ever going to see Mimi and Phillip's child. Yet, there is the possibility of the baby showing up many many years down the road. I would've liked to see this storyline pursued, and how it changed Phillip in terms of his battle for Claire.

Days f*cked up when it came to that storyline. I would have loved to see Philip and Mimi fall in love or something and forget about Shawn and Belle. Instead we see a psychotic man whos obsessed with a child that wasn't his to begin with. Philiip has so much more to look forward to including children of HIS OWN and its a shame that all we see is him screaming everyday or crying like a little boy about Claire. Absolutely outta control. I fear ever since Chole left Salem poor Philip lost his sanity...lol.
