If phil/sharon were so perfect for each other, then it would be clearly obvious now, just because they have history (and i know of their history i dont need to see it to be told) doesnt mean phil cant find someone else he could love more or have deeper love for. He hadnt seen sharon in 6 years and now hes moved on. Hes not interested

No one is worse then Shirley. Rose West crosses the road to avoid Shirley Carter

This! Particularly the bit in bold.

I was being flippant with the comment about Phil having no friends. But now you mention it, the fact that he has no friends would show he'd want to hang on to those few he has

Well the fact rejected Shirl at his engagement party for Sharon says it all

For her son and that was last year, things have changed since, hes realized the type of woman sharon has become

He knew shirl was leaving!

I can't say I've seen anyone calling your opinion ridiculous. Perhaps they are a tiny bit annoyed that there can't be a constructive debate without having one member try and hammer their point home to the detriment of anyone else who "aren't watching it properly." The Twitter insults got the last thread locked so I won't bring that into it again.

Steve McFaddens opinion is no more valid than yours or mine as he obviously has a view on the character.

So? Would Phil have done the same for Deano?

Sharon is a saint compared to Shirley

He knows his character inside out, so what if dtc came out and said it - wouldnt that be valid? Whos opinion would be valid?

Those poeple made me upset last night for possibly ruining my closure, they knew full well what they were doing.

Have you actually been watching? He chucked sharon out for taking pills!!

So would you rather he brushed her off and ignored her

If he didnt wake from sleeping id know he wasnt bothered yes, but cos he woke and held her hand(the way he did) it proved he loved her.

I think Tina could be good for Phil. They suit each other more than Shirley.

Isn't Tina supposed to be an exaggeration of Shirley though? She's prettier, I'll give her that but I don't see it otherwise

So, if the poor bugger didn't wake up and didn't even know she was there it means he doesn't love her?

Harsh terms Mona, what if he was knackered?

Tina is like the perfect mate for Phil, I can see it already.

That's not proof, he woke up to Peggy, doesn't mean he is in love with his mum. He cares for Shirley and pities her- but love? Nah

I think I can see a ONS, if only to annoy Shirley

She might lend Tina the boots.

Yes I have thank you very much! As mentioned many times before, Phil has loved and almost idolised Sharon- his perfect woman- and to see her do something so bad scared him. Made her seem more 'normal' and certainly not on the pedestal that he had her on. But he still spoke to her after

I was one of those people Mona, and I was just trying to point out certain things you may have missed or not understood, I read the Twitter comments and I'm not going into that, but I was pretty upset myself after reading them!

Personally I don't give a,shite about your closure, you are 25, not a kid, I was commenting on a soap storyline that's all, sorry I pissed on your parade, I never said anything to deliberately upset you, if you chose to take my comments that way that is your problem.

Slightly OT but did you see the boots Tina wore in the promotional images Think Shirley's got competition there!

Even if Shirley was a pill addict and left pills near Lexi, he would have thrown Shirley out and treated her badly. Although Phil had treated Shirley much badly than he ever did to Sharon. Anyway, Sharon and Phil won't get back together.

Shirley should be back in November

Sharon's return has been a complete and utter mess. Anything that has happened needs to be discarded and she needs to start with a fresh slate.
