I'm not so sure about a dream - more of a nightmare in the making, lol. I have always thought that Chloe should be the one to chase Philip this time and I wanted him to be an object of desire for a change (even for more than one woman). However, I only liked part of the show (some of the bits you mentioned). We already had jealousy shown in the cafe when Chloe had coffee with EJ. Chloe revealing her feelings was good too, albeit scantily written. But Philip is becoming an issue for me. Sure, let's have a contest for Philip, but let's also keep his character intact. Unfortunately, he's being degraded for this plot-driven storyline with Morgan.
Philip has always been a one woman man. Always. Now he's turning into a player. He's treating both women badly and it sucks. And Morgan is almost right - Philip always had a good heart. Another great character attribute. But the irony of her repeatedly saying it now is, he clearly doesn't have it anymore. At least not with regards to her and her father. Watching Philip cut Paul loose so cruelly one minute and then lie to Morgan the next I felt like I was watching the death of a well-loved friend. I want Philip Kiriakis not a mini-me of Victor.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ruthless businessman Philip, but I liked the recent greying of his character. NuPhilip is becoming a stereotypical soap villain; all dark, no contrast. It reminds me of the horrible one-note angry Philip of 2007. With Chloe's return I had really hoped to see the grey parts fleshed out, with maybe a contrast between Philip at work and Philip at home or with a loved one. You know, an old flame thawing his heart and bringing back the softer parts he thought he'd lost in war. It would also have been a great showcase for JKJ to play the charming romantic he does so well, alongside the brooding mogul. We saw some flashes of that when he begged Chloe to stay, but now it seems they've changed tack again.
I'm glad to hear of the latest Phloe/Chloe spoiler, it may save the day. Hopefully Philip won't be destroyed this summer and we'll get a well-rounded character at some point. As for Chloe, well that's another post...
