Although Philip’s feelings for Chloe became a running theme through his “Days of Our Lives” life, those feelings took on new heights in 2021. Chloe had a decision to make when she fell for Brady once again, knowing she and Philip had agreed to give it another go. She finally chose Philip, but he couldn’t handle the fact that Brady and Chloe worked together and constantly believed they were cheating on him behind his back. Belle tried to get her old flame to reign in his jealousy, but when Philip overheard Brady and Chloe discussing a romp on a conference room table, he assumed they were talking about themselves. However, Chloe was really telling Brady about Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and what they did on that desk.
Believing he had firm proof that Chloe and Brady were having an affair behind his back, Philip did something uncharacteristic. He attacked Brady, knocked him out, made it look like he was drinking, and then Philip faked his own death, setting Brady up to take the fall for murder. Philip let his parents know he was alive and then skipped town, but will he return?
