PHILIP KIRIAKIS'S HISTORY
Philip came into the world through the convolutions of the power struggle between Kate and Vivian. As the women struggled for a place next to Victor, they took drastic measures. When Kate sought to get implanted at a fertility clinic, Vivian managed to switch their embryo and be implanted with it herself.
As his parents battled over him, the young Philip rapidly aged into a high school student. He spent his time with rich kids Jan Spears and Jason Welles, tormenting Chloe Lane. The nasty games would stop for a moment when Philip, discovering more depth to her than he originally imagined, fell in love with her. Things got nasty again though when she accused him (falsely) of rape. He dumped her soon after, once her nude photos began to circulate in public.
Moving on with his life, Philip left Salem and joined the military. He soon returned to town to serve as the 'mystery hunk' in the Love is Blind contest. While back in town, his feelings for Belle Brady were soon reawakened. As they pursued a relationship, he continued his covert work for the ISA. Along with Tek, he worked to get the dirt on Tony DiMera. Eventually, he and Belle became engaged. They almost had to postpone the wedding when he was called to serve in Iraq. Instead, they rushed ahead and wed before he left.
While he was away, Belle couldn't help admitting to herself that she was truly in love with Shawn-Douglas Brady. Despite wanting to run off with Shawn, she had to stop herself after Philip lost his leg in the war. She became pregnant and Philip was ecstatic to have his own daughter. They began planning for more children and went to a fertility clinic. There was a mishap at the clinic however and she became pregnant with Shawn's child while Mimi became pregnant with Philip's. Soon, another fact would shake up his life. It came out that Shawn was Claire's biological father. He nearly broke down and ran off with Claire, refusing to ever let anyone take her away from him. After he settled down, he returned to Belle's side and promised to be there for her and her new baby. Sadly, things weren't working out for the young couple and they came to understand that neither of them were really happy in the marriage.
He left Salem, returning to combat. Soon, he returned, now unrecognizable thanks to the reconstructive surgery done to his face after it was seared by severe burns in Afghanistan. His father, Victor, tried to look after him and brought Claire to visit him on a regular basis. Victor bribed a judge to grant his son legal custody of the little girl, a move which would push Shawn and Belle to take Claire and go on the run. He followed them, first to Toronto and then onto a ship as they stowed away for Australia. Although he manged to get them confined to their quarters, they escaped and were presumed dead when their boat washed up smashed and covered in blood. Philip still clung to hope and joined forces with EJ Wells to track them down.
Philip had a change of heart when he was in a tsunami near Australia, with Shawn, Claire and Belle and now wants to make things right.

Tuesday, January 06 2009: Starting A New Chapter!
Stephanie and Philip continue to kiss while they rip each other’s clothes off in his room. After much panting, Philip stops and tells her they can’t do this. He cares for her too much. Stephanie gets dressed in a huff and understands that he has baggage and has made a ton of mistakes. When she’s with him, she’s in the moment and doesn’t care about what he has done in his past with other women. Philip comes around and thinks they should give it another shot, so they start kissing. Stephanie tells him this is a good decision, not to make love, though it’s not an easy one. Philip wants to take Stephanie on a real date, sarcastically saying Melanie made their last one ‘special’. They decide to go to dinner.
Philip and Stephanie lounge on his bed for a while and then come out of Philip’s room and find Kate in the lounge. Stephanie leaves the two alone and Kate says the moment she set eyes on Stephanie, she knew she was perfect for him. Back in the day she’d have manipulated the situation so they’d get together! Philip is surprised and she invites him to a surprise engagement party this evening. When Stephanie returns, Kate tells her she was just telling Philip she hopes to see more of her.
Monday, January 05 2009: Wrapped.
Philip meets Bo at the pub and tells him he missed him at Chez Rouge. Bo explains that he, Hope and Ciara had some much needed quality family time and talk turns to Stephanie. Bo asks his brother to be good to her. She’s one of the sweetest women he knows. Philip knows this is about Belle. “Among others,” admits Bo. Bo touches his head while they talk, as if he has a headache, and then asks Philip to be good to Stephanie and himself. He leaves and Philip calls Stephanie.
Stephanie arrives to see Philip at the Kiriakis mansion and says she’s happy he called. “New Year’s Eve was amazing.” Philip agrees and she says she has no second thoughts about seeing him. They kiss and fall to the sofa, making out, until Philip pulls away. He found their kiss at New Year’s amazing, but it goes beyond that. Stephanie says it’s better now that she knows what she wants. She kisses him but he pulls away, claiming he doesn’t want to hurt her. She kisses him again and he pulls away, saying he wants space. Stephanie misinterprets him and calls him a bastard. She thinks she’s another trophy on his shelf but he tells her this isn’t true. He has made a lot of mistakes and doesn’t want to hurt her. “You’re important to me.” She’s too special. Stephanie has had issues in relationships too and tells him she’s a big girl. They start kissing and Stephanie suggests they go to his room so they’re not disturbed.
Philip and Stephanie end up in Philip’s room. “I want you so bad,” Philip breathes and asks if she’s sure. She is, so they start rolling on the bed, kissing.
