ABOUT:
 When
Phillip arrived in Springfield, he was a spoiled rich kid, always
getting into trouble. It was his friendship with
the "Four Musketeers" that saved him from being worse.
He was the "Golden Boy" of the Spaulding family, even though they had
adopted him. Phillip didn't find that out until the night of his high school
prom.
Through the years, Phillip tried to develop a sense of himself away
from the Spaulding name and image. He even wrote some novels and short
stories.
After a short stay in a psychiatric
hospital, Phillip decided that he was sick of fighting who he was. He
decided to follow his father's lead and try and control Springfield. He
even went so far as to kidnap his own children. He remained cold,
calculating and unapologetic up until the time of his death, claiming
that everything he was doing was for the future.
It was later
found out that he was not dead. Alan helped him fake his death so he
could get rid of him without his having to face charges. He
came back to town, sane again, and took back control of his family
from his father. Alan was not happy at first that he came back.
Although Phillip was sane again, he did push Grady over a cliff for
kidnapping his daughter, but no one found that out. Phillip
was reunited with Beth, the love of his life, and with his children
and friends.
Phillip found
out from Dr. Ed Bauer that he was dying. Phillip made amends to
everyone, and they all forgave his former misdeeds. Alan saved
his life by donating bone marrow, and then he passed away not too
much later. Phillip forgave Alan for his evil behavior over the
years before he died. Phillip and Beth planned to get
re-married as the show ended.
