Y&R: A "Chance" Encounter

Take a quick peek at Phillip IV, aka Chance (John Driscoll) onscreen debut.

Katherine and Jill Find Out Phillip is Gay on Y&R


Last week Phillip (Thom Bierdz) revealed "his truth" to Nina (Tricia Cast). Today he revealed to Jill (Jess Walton) and Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) he is gay. In scenes at the Chancellor mansion, he told them he was forced to leave because he couldn't be what they wanted and that he didn't fit in.

Katherine didn't give an inch, asking why he "can't be honest" and "help them learn and accept who he is." Pointing at Phillip, she told him he "took the cowards way out" and "compounded it a hundred times over by sending Cane to take his place." Jill was no slouch either, telling Phillip he made Katherine believe she had done the "unspeakable" in giving away Jill's baby. 

Even after this Phillip maintained that Cane "helped them get past it" and that "through him I was finally able to to make you guys happy." Her voice trembling in a mix of anger and pain Katherine responded "Two bloody years of happiness versus 20 years of loss," she continued "do you really think that is a fair trade?"

Do you believe Phillip's reasoning and motivation for sending Cane?

Phillip Reveals "His Truth" to Nina


Phillip (Thom Bierdz) reveals his "darkest secret" to Nina (Tricia Cast) on The Young and the Restless. The look on Nina's face is priceless. I have to say, Tricia Cast has been the best thing about this entire storyline. Did anyone see Nina's neck roll on Friday as she faced down Cane and Jill? As Jamey put it "Nina is hood."

Tabloid Says Y&R's Phillip is Gay and Will be Paired With Rafe!



The cat is out of the closet. The Globe has revealed the reason Phillip Chancellor III (Thom Bierdz) faked his death on The Young and the Restless. He's gay and could no longer handle the pressures of keeping it a secret to Nina (Tricia Cast) and the Chancellors. This totally lines up with all the spoilers and rumors we've been hearing i.e. every Lauralee Bell interview given recently. Smart move whoever leaked the story to The Globe though. The same old ladies who used to watch Y&R in the 80's read those rags. I know my Grandma did, every week!

"Boy run up there to the Books-a-Million and get my books!" she used to say about her Soap Opera Weekly, Soap Opera Digest, Soap Opera Update, National Enquirer, Examiner, Star and Globe (Is it any wonder I do what I do?) READ MORE
