Including, but not limited to, who is going to tell Philip to tuck in his shirt?  Because, now I see he's influenced Alex to dress more casually for the office.😉

I vote for Mr. Shin, Philip would listen to him.

If that means that Shin is still working at Titan, and Dimera continues to cease to exist, I'm all for it 👍😂😂

Now, you've brought up the key issue that has been distracting me in the Xander Saga.

To be honest, I'm still not sure if they merged or if Titan took over DI.  But, didn't Xander and Kristin discuss that Mr. Shin is running the DI side of things? 

@brisbydog , you are always helpful in this regard - Did Titan and Dimera merge, or did Titan buy them out?

Because if Xander and Philip bought them out, why not just send Philip on a tour of Dimera estates around the world?  I'd like to see how they could develop that island as a medi-spa...

It was mentioned as "took over", but everybody was really vague about it.

But, where did they get the money to buy DI?  That's why I thought they merged, but Xander and Philip became the head of both board of directors.

Titan now owns Dimera but similar to Gabi Chic which is owned by them and managed by Gabi, Mr Shin runs the Dimera division. So he is now an employee of Titan but sort of a vice president to the Kiriaki

They had liquidated the cash for the buy out months ago, but in the end it didn't matter as Shin voted that Dimera basically agreed to hand itself over to Titan.

JPL has been great since his return. I want him to stick around. He and Paul Telfer are great together.

With all the posturing and gloating, you'd think that Xander and Philip finally took down Dimera.  When, actually, Leo, the former gossip columnist of The Spectator, wrote the article, which tanked the stock price, forcing Mr. Shin to hand it over to Titan.

Does @AbcNbc247 know that RonC's legacy is going to be that Leo Stark finally destroyed the Dimera's?  He did what no Brady has ever been able to do...😉

Spoiler

just kidding, of course they'll find a way back

I’m so mad at myself that I enjoy his Phillip as much as I do this go round. It helps that he has onscreen chemistry with all of his family members, Lauren Koslow and Paul Telfer especially.

JKJ was always my preferred Phillip but RC did a complete hatchet job on the character his last go round. It’s almost a relief to have this lighter airier Phillip.

All the more reason to erase Leo from existence 😉

If it were me, and I started writing on April 24, he’d be dead on April 25 😂😂😂

What I would like would be to go into cartoon mode & have an anvil dropped on him in the first 13 minutes of April 24th, just go ahead & deal with it, ... Hee hee.

They tried to get JKJ back for Victor's funeral but at the last minute he didn't show up so they emergency brought back JPL. I think he has a lot of personal issues that affected his portrayal last time, so not all on Ron. JPL is a joy. I can't imagine the other version of Philip bonding realistically with Xander like this.

Have any of you ever watched DIRTY SOAP?

I think it helps that Phillip being a bit lighter helps set him apart from the other males in the cast at the moment. It fits JPL too as an actor.

Is it just me or is he really a much more mature actor?

I was lamenting that they didn't give Joy and Philip a chance, beyond a chem test scene (yes, I know why it would've been taboo, given her sister, her conception, and their ages - yadda yadda).

But, I also like that we have a better understanding of why Philip has been unable to successfully maintain a romantic relationship.

Meanwhile, it seems like Theresa's aversion therapy was all that Alex needed to cure his commitment phobia.
