Days of Our Lives - MESSAGE BOARDS

Well, I can take him or leave him. I never really did like the old Phillip, then when he came back...this new guy seemed to not only have a new face but a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSONALITY!! It was such a change, that it seemed like they weren't even trying to make this character seem like he was the old one. I know charaters come and go, but they need to do it in a way that at least allows the veiwer to believe they are the same character. It's kind of like when they did the remake of The Honeymooners. I loved that show. (reruns of course...I ain't that old! LOL) But anyway they took it and changed the characters so much that I HATED IT!! It's not a black/white thing at all, but what made Ralph so funny was the fact that he was this big, dumb white bus driver that always got himself into trouble withhis impulsively bad judgement. I don't know why they had to change everything like they did. I love Cedric The Entertainer, but he AIN'T NO Jackie Gleason, ya know??

The new Phillip was way too pushy and bossy. I swear if I met someone like that on the street, they'd be dining on fist sammich really fast. I didn't like the new Phillip, and I'm a guy so the looks thing isn't a factor. I would prefer they get someone with a gentler side, because that's what the old Phillip had going for him. Personally, I thinkthe old Phillip wasn't happy with the direction they were taking his character, trying to turn him into a Psycho!! Remember he left very soon after all that started happening. I'd like to see a gentler Phillip come back and use his power and money to do good things for the community, not use it like another rich JERK, trying to knock his friends down lke he did Nick.

Very sad...

I am not happy about this at all!

There Are Rumors Right Now On Daytime Confidential And Nelson Branco That Blake Berris And Deidre Hall Have Also Been Fired This Would Be Huge If Its True but I Guess Nelson Is Working To Confirm The News

What is with all of the people getting fired? What really needs to be done is get rid of the people behind the scenes that are making all of this happen.

you know...he is one of the few left that i actually look forward to seeing on days. i hate that he is leaving. i hope that he leaves on a good note. he really got me to like the character a lot. Good Luck, Jay!!!

Hey guys-Just a reminder that Nick got fired and then rehired when fans complained. So let's call and call and get jay BACK!!

I think they are making a big mistake. He is a very good actor. I hate to see him go.

I am really upset that he is leaving. I know he'll be recast but still. Hes the only guy that can play Phillip well!

I am saddened that Jay is leaving also. He's such a versatile actor and he brought much more dimesion and depth to Phillip than Kyle Brandt did. I will be skeptical about any recast that takes over the role. I was really rooting for Phillip to get together Belle during last year's storyline (before Shelle was written off), with Phillip and Belle making love. I remember when Phillip and Shawn later had a brawl over Belle afterwards, and someone said on a message board, "I hope Phillip takes off his prosthetic leg and beats Shawn with it." I fell out of my chair laughing, I would still side with Phillip because Jay has just embodied the character's vulnerability and dark side so well. I couldn't imagine Kyle Brandt or any other actor, for that matter, pulling that off.

I wish Jay all the best in the future, I'm sure he'll find many other roles to display his undeniable talent and charisma.
