Days: Friday November 23rd

Ya know, I don't get this turnaround with Belle either. It seems like the change in actors created the about face for Belle. Back when she was with Kyle Brandt's version of Phillip all she could think about was getting into the pants of Jason Cook's AND Brandon Beemer's versions of Shawn. Now original Phillip is back and she's suddenly so hot for him now? Belle may have loved Phillip but she, as well as the audience, knew it wasn't even close to being the same kind of love she had for Shawn. It's all so backwards and silly.

I totally agree with your post. I couldnt have said it any better.

It's a good thing that such a pivotal episode aired while other soaps were off the air. But I too was quite underwhelmed at the idea of Phillip being somebody's secret obsession. It's largely because the actor playing him lacks that certain EVERYTHING to make his appeal believable. I had come to that conclusion on other days of channel surfing during ATWT's commercials. And Shawn is just too damn fine to pass up!

I'd take either guy. But I agree with Belle being obsessed over him. It's a stretch. I wonder if and when original Philip leaves will Belle be all over Shawn again?? I think so!
