Melanie's cutsie-poo schtick can be tiring, but she's so much better than before, IMO. But I don't want to see her constantly.

Nathan would have to be over 25, yes, but Philip is in his 30s. If Philip can't have Chloe again, then I'll wait until the right woman shows up for him, because Ari isn't the one. And certainly not Stephanie. And definitely not Melanie. Are you listening, writers???

How about Philip & "cougar" Carly. I suppose that we would have get passed the fact that she was married to Vic.

I'd want to see their chemistry first because it is kind of hard to imagine. As for her being Phil's ex-stepmother? Never stopped soaps before!

I didn't mind the idea of Nicole and Philip but others thought she was too old for him.

Really? There's only about 3 yrs. difference in RL, so that never entered my head. There's about a 12 yr. diff w/Crystal.

Don't think I would like Carly and Philip besides the age difference and the fact that she was married to Victor she was also very involved with Bo - Philip's half brother. I know that it has never stopped these writers before but I just think for me there are two many strikes against them. I too would like to wait and hope the right women comes along for Philip because I would not want to see him get back with Stephanie and I surely do not want him with Melanie!

LOL, well we got passed the fact that EJ and Kate had an affair and now she's married to his dad! It could just as easily work in reverse for Philip and Carly!
