[edit] Character history

Philip entered the world in an unusual way. Unable to get pregnant, Kate went to the doctor's office to be implanted with Victor's sperm. Oops! The fertilized egg ended up in Vivian instead, and Vivian actually carried Philip to term, trying to get Victor for herself.

The next thing we knew, Philip was in high-school, and was hanging out with fellow rich brats Jan Spears and Jason Welles. The three made a point of torturing new girl Chloe Lane, until Philip got a chance to see a different side of her, and fell in love. The relationship hit a snag when she falsely accused him of rape, and ANOTHER snag when he dumped her after nude photos of her appeared at the Last Blast dance.

Philip was never able to get things going with Chloe again, and when he realized that she had found new love with Brady Black, he left Salem to join the military. He wasn't gone long though...he came back to town as part of the Love is Blind contest (he was the mystery hunk), and re-developed a crush on his good friend Belle Black.

Philip was more than just Shawn and Belle's high school chum though. In addition to being a dedicated military cadet, he was also secretly working for the ISA. He and Tek, a newcomer to town, worked hard to prove that Tony DiMera was involved in some nefarious dealings around town. Not only that, but Philip let his mother bully him into spending more time with Belle, whom by this point he was hopelessly in love with.

Philip and Belle got engaged, with Philip thrilled that he and Belle were going to be able to live their lives together. Unfortunately, just as they were getting engaged, Philip was being called to active duty in Iraq. The two moved up their wedding plans, getting married immediately before Philip had to ship out.

Even though she had married Philip, Belle was still in love with Shawn-Douglas Brady, but she realized she could not leave Philip, after he lost his leg in Iraq. When Belle became pregnant, she thought the child was Philip's and they were both thrilled to be starting a family together. Nine months later baby Claire was born. Philip adored his daughter so much, that he wanted to have more children with Belle. They decided to undergo in vitro fertilization but alas Salem style, there was a mixup and Belle became pregnant with Shawn's child while Philip was expecting a baby with Mimi.

It was later revealed that Shawn was the true father of Claire. Philip couldn't take it; he blew up and ran out of the house with Claire vowing no one would take her away from him. Phillip later changed his attitude and vowed to be there for his wife, her daughter Claire, and her unborn child, even though he was not the biological father of either of the children. Philip and Mimi still had to make decisions about their baby, and the two signed their rights away to the surrogate. Philip and Belle eventually decided to end their marriage as they both knew they felt differently about each other. Heartbroken, Philip left Salem.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Philip recently returned to Salem. However, he was badly burned and covered in bandages, reportedly due to an attack in Afghanistan. Philip had reenlisted, but due to his injuries, he was brought home by his father Victor. With extensive damage done to his face, Victor hired a doctor to give Philip an experimental face transplant. Until then, Victor has been secretly bringing Claire in to spend time with him. Although Philip has legal custody of Claire, after Victor paid off the judge, Shawn and Belle took Claire and fled to Canada. It wasn't too long before Victor determined that they were in Toronto and sent Philip and Willow after them. There was a setback at the airport when a knife was hidden in Philip's luggage but he eventually made it to Canada where he was able to confront Shawn. Shawn was arrested for Claire's kidnapping. Philip told him that he was granted full legal custody of Claire because of the events of the kidnapping. He went to the shelter where Belle and Claire were hiding but Belle managed to sneak Claire out.
