Thank you so much for sharing the clip!  I am sure even viewers in 1968 were saying how over the top it was for a defendant for murder and the main witness testifying against them living in the same house and (sort of) interacting daily.

Martin West's Phil was the only Phil I knew.  He did a great job portraying a love-to-hate character.  He has the dubious honor of reciting some of the most embarrassing lines in soap history.  His character supposedly suffered from impotence, but, during a tense scene with Diana, he suddenly discovered that his plumbing was actually working and exclaimed, "I'm a man!" while the camera cut away for him to rape Diana behind a couch.  Good thing I was not watching with my mother that day.

The scene that I remember most of Phil was when everyone thought Phil was dead.  Jessie had married Dr. Peter Taylor, and she and Peter were all lovey dovey, decorating a Christmas tree, and for whatever reason, the setup was perfect for Phil to witness the whole thing through a window!

I did wonder at first if Jessie and Polly were meant to be living together. I wonder whatever happens to that house. 

Geez. That part with Diana sounds awful. Frankly, it sounds like a porn setup.

The moment with Jessie and Peter sounds like something I wish I could see.

I wish they could have let Jessie have some happiness. I know in the early '80s she sort of dated that guy who worked at the hospital but that's all.

At least she wasn't murdered, like Jessie 2.0 (Diana).

It's a shame the show moved so far away from that (PC tried briefly around 1999 or 2000), but then when you have a cast of 500 you aren't going to focus on patients. 

I didn't even know about any history with Phil and Audrey as I'm not as vested in old GH as I should be. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to check out what's available in the episodes.
