People said the same about the kid who played Noah. I hope this doesn't mean Phillip will end up with Eden...

For ages he seemed to be at soccer camp. I kept thinking he would come back rapid aged. I guess they would have done this if Tricia hadn't left.

I always thought it was pretty stupid how Kay Alden SORASED the kids. Phillip was born years before Billy, so was Colleen, yet Billy is older than those two now.

Yeah that always confused me, as it confused me when Lilly, who was born about 4 or 5 years after Nate, became older than him. Lily is also the same age as Colleen, even though she was born about 5 or more years after Colleen.

We love soaps? Oh gawd - have they already started a writing campaign protesting the number of days since Rafe and Phillip have kissed? lol

Let me add, let's just hope we don't see people pimping them as the next supercouple and making Pafe banners BEFORE this storyline ever airs. Rabid fanbases with agendas can stay gone.

Are you kidding me? There are probably already message boards devoted to much chemistry Pafe have and how wonderful they are together. Their fanbase is already planning campaigns against Y&R because they have not kissed as yet and that they are not on enough. LOL! I am kidding, but I can see this getting ugly. ATWT is not Y&R. Y&R has lots of fans who stand by it, a rabid agenda driven Pafe fanbase is going to be in for a shock.

I hope Rafe is the bottom....

LOL! And....hmmmmmmmm. Me too!

And I quote (from We Love Soaps):

"CBS Soaps in Depth is reporting that John Driscoll's new THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS character, Phillip Chancellor IV will be gay and paired with Rafe. But is this actually the case?"

SID is, after all, notorious for their misleading headlines and "teases" within the actual articles. Not that I'm saying this is another one, but....

Up with Pafe!

Down with Nuke!

I don't know if Y&R has as many fans now who just stand by the show. I see much more heavy focus on couples and couple names now ("Lane", "Phick", "Shick") than I did even a few years ago. I think they have tried to placate both sets of fans during the Sharon/Nick/Phyllis triangle (I just wish they'd placate the "Let's castrate Nick" fanbase).

I don't think this will be true for "Pafe" or "Rillip" or whoever they are, because Rafe is barely above bit player status and I doubt this story, if it happens, will have heavy focus, but I think the days of Y&R not being about fanbases ended after the Bell era.

ICAM!

Oh, please. Did you ever see Phillip in 97/98/99/00?

Nina so knows!

My GOD I hated that kid!

I hope Rafe is the bottom....

If by 'bottom' you mean flamboyant, I hope there isn't a bottom.

This sounds alright with me and "Pafe" are much sexier men than "Nuke" in my opinion. I just hope that Y&R does everything with "Pafe" that ATWT failed to do with "Nuke".

Up with Pafe!

Down with Nuke!

I fully expect "Pafe" to be the latest craze! Just watch how crazy "Pafe" fans will be; possibly far more crazier than "Nuke" ever was. LOL!

Rafe's bit player status is certainly subject to change; as I expect that it probably will. Rafe currently has nothing to do right now since his potential love interest, Phillip, has yet to arrive. Phillip, I think, will be a contract role. Rafe will probably be upgraded to that as well.

Almost but not quite enough to make me reconsider my CBS boycott aside from the P&G soaps.

Neat news, John Driscoll is a great actor and it should be interesting for him to be playing a gay character. Y&R may be giving him the juicy material he didn't get enough of at GL until the end. I got the feeling from his blog that he had for awhile that he was really religious though, so I hope homosexuality is not against his religious beliefs and he will be convincing rather than holding back.

I also take back what I said before about Y&R just having a "token gay character" now, as clearly they intend more than that.
