Never mind - I'm sure Shirley will make room for him in her nice cosy gutter and let him share her bottle of voddy. After all, all the Shirley-shippers have been longing for them to get back together again.”
I disagree, I like Shirley so I don't want her to be ruined by this, I would only accept a reunion with Phil and Shirley if it was on equal terms, not as a rebound scenario and not just because Sharon jilts him. However with Ben's return, I can see that being unlikely.
I agree that Sharon and Shirley are the two women that could truly break his heart as said above. The way I see it is that Sharon is his 'ideal' and he wants to have that family unit and trophy wife but in reality his heart belongs to Shirley. He loves Sharon but is 'in' love with Shirley, though if this affair is just a plot device for Sharon's revenge and it shows that Phil has used her, then I will drastically change my opinion, we have had a lot of mixed signals this year imo, it's hard to keep up.
I am interested to see how this will play out in the aftermath, from her previous stints, it doesn't strike me as something Sharon would do, I could see her trying to gain control of the Albert but to try to take everything from him and jilt him - funnily enough, if it was the other way around, people would hate Phil for doing what Sharon is doing even if it had been Sharon who sent thugs to beat Phil up. (Just savour that imagine for a moment, gangsta Sharon haha). I can't see the TPTB would leave Phil with nothing, there is also Ben, Jay, Lexi, Lola, Ronnie, Roxy to take into account and as I said above, I can't see Phil willingly letting Sharon live in his house and run his business while he sits back and does nothing. I also would have thought Phil would have some protection on his assets after Sharon tried to take over the Albert a few months back.
