This. If she'd taken it to give back to Roxy or to George I might have some sympathy for her but she is doing it for herself and stealing from a man who is in hospital is despicable. I don't care what Phil has done, two wrongs don't make a right.
I still don't know what he is supposed to have done to her that was so dreadful anyway. He protected his son (which I don't think was the correct or moral thing to do but I can understand why a parent would) and Shirley was one of many people hurt by that. But he didn't do it to deliberately hurt her and seems to have been upset that it did - right from the start.
As I have said several times, it is not like he sat down one day and thought to himself - I really want to hurt Shirley, how can I do it. I know, have my son kill her best friend and then force her to live in the same house as him for months and then get physical with her when she finds out about it and tried to go to the Police.
