Also, DR MattH re: yesterday's Y&R
I'm curious how you knew what phillip would say. Did you read spoilers in advance? I don't read spoilers but i thought they were being pretty quiet about what his storyline would be (or if it would be him or his son who was gay).
The only spoilers i read now are for casting. I've been doing this for quite a while. Because i find i enjoy it a lot more when i don't know every detail that is coming up.
I believe I may have read the same article that DR MattH did. -And I think the link was actually posted here on HHW a couple of weeks ago. In any case...
I'm still trying to figure out if Cain was actually passing himself off as Philip - or as some long lost twin. I missed a couple of those episodes when that whole revelation was taking place - along with the whole baby-switching stuff - and now that Philip is back on the scene, well... Then again, it's a soap opera, it's not supposed to make sense.
I remember there being a couple of different articles posted here. But the only ones i read were ones where he hinted at interesting things to come. I did not read anything where the cat was let out of the bag. Although sometimes people on the soaps group mention things unintentionally. So i was pretty sure it would be him who was gay.
re: cane.
Apparently Phillip 3 (P3) faked his own death (even though apparently it was practically done on screen). But anyhow he went to australia, met cane and then they arranged for cane to come back to be P3.
The baby switch thing, well they haven't totally clariifed that. But I guess it did not happen (since the woman was apparently not in Genoa city when the switch took place). I guess they want us to believe that it was all in kay's head.
To me the dumbest part that makes no sense is that when cane took the DNA test to see if he was the father of chloe's baby ... they are now saying that he used P3's stored blood because he did not want to have different blood samples on record (do all these labs compare?).
Cane is now saying that since P3 and billy are brothers he (cane) knew all along that billy was the father (since it had to be blood that matched P3s).
That is the dumbest thing because they never showed cane doing this. They showed cane agonizing over having to leave lily and marry chloe for their baby. If he knew billy was the father he could have suggested this at the time and that still would not have blown his cover.
I guess that was the best the writers could do. But i wish they had thought out this P3/cane story before writing things that make no sense. Oddly enough the part that actually does seem believalbe to me is that P3 might have faked his own death because he was gay (although i did not watch the show when this happened - i think people who did are mostly pissed).
