Philly was hot and soapy. It could have led to more. I definitely didn't think of it as a love story. If I did, I would have definitely been rooting for them to "get together" again much more than I am. I wasn't that invested in them though. They were good drama for the moment.
The story got so messed up in the end it was like whiplash. It definitely could have been more and still could be. Could make this whole Fenmore's storyline a lot more interesting. Phyllis caught between Jabot and B&S for instance. There is still story possibilities for them. Yeah, there are definitely more story (drama) possibilities with Philly than with Phack or Villy (or even Phick).

That's exactly how I feel about Hevon. I tolerate Hevon because I know Bitchilary is only using 40-Watt. once she has what she wants, then she will have power and that's her main objective. him offering her a settlement now isn't the goal because that's just crumbs in comparison to what she can have if she is still with him. Bitchilary could be the star of the "Real Housewives of Genoa City"

well 40-Watt looks brand new after three weeks after a major auto accident with head injuries. I need the same doctors who attended to him to attend to me when I get sick. Maybe they can help me with my RA!!! :lol:

how many Wishy-Washy men lives in GC? => Greasy-Dickolas => 40-Watt => Paul => Cane => Neil => Jack => Billy since being back with Boretoria => Noah => Kevin => Michael
who else is missing? because they are all wishy-washy. :soapbox: At this point, I suggest a new Nickname for Victoria's younger brother: how about. . .Sir Vaseline? What do you think?

Now that they showed Jack and Gloria, I can't stop thinking that that's what Sally would have preferred for Philly - a drunken ONS. And Pratt&Co wrote a love story :biggrin: .
Philly was a fun affair, yes. Love story? No. I don't think SSM would have made Philly into a one-night stand though. She wrote the original 2006 version of Phick. The Phick affair started out as antagonistic, then friendship, then steamy hot attraction. It lasted quite a while. Then they fell in love, but I wasn't sure how I felt about that part. I liked them best as friends with benefits. I think it worked because of how it was written but mostly because Joshua Morrow genuinely enjoyed working with Michell Stafford, they became buddies. But after a few years, the writing/directing/acting didn't work as well anymore. Who knows how SSM would have written Philly?
Philly was WRITTEN as a LOVE story (until they did a weird 180 which still didn't explain that it wasn't one lol). Now, whether we buy/bought it as a love story or not is our personal opinion. We might like it or dislike it, think of it as great, mediocre or horrible - all of this is our opinion as well. All of us are entitled to our opinion but it doesn't change the fact that it was written as a love story (like Shylan, Nage, Chadam, Hevon, even Tricky etc whom we might have liked or hated, too). Re: Phick. Did you check how much of the Phick affair/love story SSM had written? I'm asking it because someone replied to my comment on another site and said it was LML who wrote the Phick affair, not SSM. I tried to check it, and it really looked like the affair started a month or so after SSM had left Y&R. But SSM states on her own site that she wrote Phick, so she must know it lol. I can't check the exact credits because I don't have full episodes from that time frame. Either way it looks like she only had a possibility to write them for a very limited period of time (and she wasn't the HW when she did it). Guessing from her interview, she wouldn't have written Philly at all lol. "(like Shylan, Nage, Chadam, Hevon, even Tricky etc whom we might have liked or hated, too)."
Those were love stories? Lol. More like insta-pairings. With the exception of Chadam and maybe Hevon, who I happen to like more than the above couples you mentioned. I didn't feel like ANY of those couples were "love stories". There may have been chemistry between the actors in those pairings (just like I felt Billy and Phyllis had chemistry) but that was definitely no love story. If that is the best Pratt can do to write a love story he should try again because I didn't see it.
Dylan and Sharon have become good recently, and I fully give credit to SS for that for making them feel like a real couple. The same can be said for Devon and Hilary. Their relationship is problematic, but it feels real. They've been doing a good job of showcasing the layers behind Devon and Hilary's problems which I've really enjoyed.

Now if SS took a stab at writing for Billy and Phyllis I bet I'd really enjoy it. I've enjoyed her version of Devon and Hilary and Sharon and Dylan so I'm sure I'd like that too. But when it comes to how Pratt wrote them.. I'll pass.

Neil and Ashley had tons of chemistry.
But the show pussyd out because god forbid they put a white woman with a black man. That would just be way too much for some Americans to take!
I think they were engaged at one time. I seem to remember that Ashley was pregnant with someone's baby, and Neil was going to assume the daddy role, but she lost the baby. Then, their romance fell apart. I think John may've still been alive, it was a long time ago.
That was Victoria. Heather Tom was playing the part. 1998 I believe. And the writers ended the pairing because CBS got complaints about interracial romance. THANK YOU! Lol, I get confused sometimes remembering things late at night............. daytime, too. :blulaugh:

I think Bitchilary is scheming. she doesn't have to try too hard when it comes to 40-Watt. because he is not a difficult subject.

well Jill is showing or telling Lauren that she is a better business woman. she is looking at the problem from different angles.+ I don know about Jill being a better business woman, because her decisions over the last few months are questionable. namely, acquiring B&S just to push Boretoria and Billy together.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Philly was WRITTEN as a LOVE story (until they did a weird 180 which still didn't explain that it wasn't one lol). Now, whether we buy/bought it as a love story or not is our personal opinion. We might like it or dislike it, think of it as great, mediocre or horrible - all of this is our opinion as well. All of us are entitled to our opinion but it doesn't change the fact that it was written as a love story (like Shylan, Nage, Chadam, Hevon, even Tricky etc whom we might have liked or hated, too). Re: Phick. Did you check how much of the Phick affair/love story SSM had written?

Yes, most of these were badly developed love stories (Philly and Chadam were exceptions IMO. I wasn't crazy about Chadam but the story itself wasn't bad) IMO. But I've seen people who liked those stories or couples. I won't talk about 80s or 90s but if I were honest I haven't seen one single really well written build-up to a love story (or let's say a better build-up than the one Philly had) during the last 5-6 years on 3 out of 4 soaps.
I initially liked Shylan but then I lost my interest and never got it back. The same with Hevon. A writer's name and their reputation/likeability don't play any role in my enjoyment of a pairing. Either I feel something or I don't :shrug: .

In the beginning they too were kind of insta but they were romantic so I went with it and didn't care lol. Sure there have been a string of insta couples but like you said Philly had the most build up under Pratt comparatively to the others. Shylan was always more like a friendship to me than a couple. Sharon and Dylan could've been siblings moreso than lovers.
