However, he didn’t have a very long childhood, even by soap opera standards.

Philip was seen as one of Salem High School’s rich and preppy students.

Since that time, “DOOL” viewers have seen Philip go from a teenager to a man.

After high school, Philip’s relationship with Chloe went south and she ended up marrying Brady Black.

He then decided to leave Salem and join the military.

When he returned, he began to grow close to Belle Black.

While in combat, Philip lost his leg, perSoaps in Depth.

After some major pregnancy drama, Philip learned that Belle’s daughter Claire wasn’t his biological child.

He also reunited with his first love, Chloe.

Over the years, fans have seen Philip have many different faces (viaSoap Central).
