Soap Hub Editors Face Off On Days of our Lives Chloe vs. Philip

 


On the Wednesday episode of Days of our Lives, Philip Kiriakis had a feeling Brady Black wanted to take advantage of his girlfriend, Chloe Lane, so he flew to where they were only to find the former marrieds sharing a bed! D’oh! Well, Philip lost it but then Chloe lost it on him!

Days of our Lives Face-Off Causes Soap Hub Face-Off

In discussing the blow-up, Soap Hub editors Amber Sinclair and Diane Brounstein realized they fell on opposing sides and decided to each state their case. Amber is Team Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) while Diane is Team Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin). Here are the arguments each has presented. At the bottom, you can vote in a poll which character has your support.

Team Philip Kiriakis

Was Philip wrong for flying all the way to the middle of nowhere to “check on” Chloe? Darn right he was. That over-the-top behavior shouldn’t sit right with anyone. However, his instincts weren’t wrong. Chloe WAS in bed with Brady when he walked into her room. Even in the most platonic fashion, I can see how what would make even the most secure person go into a jealous rage.

It’s one thing to be okay with her partner sharing a room with their ex. It happens. However, sharing a bed is a totally different story. That stops being about “well, don’t you trust me,” and crosses all sorts of boundaries. A pillow barrier isn’t enough for me to be calm and cool about my partner hopping into bed with a former lover. No sir, no ma’am, no way. Chloe was out of bounds on this one. Thankfully, our girl smartened up and slept on the floor. Even she knew bed-sharing wasn’t a good move.

Team Chloe Lane

Chloe can certainly handle herself and she did a great job of telling Brady (Eric Martsolf) how he went wrong and she’s moved on. So when Philip flew off the handle, after she’d proven herself more than capable of being loyal to him, she was understandably frustrated by Philip’s crossing the line into practical stalker behavior!

How many times does she have to tell him to trust her to handle things? Either he trusts her or he doesn’t? Brady can’t cast a spell and make Chloe do anything he wants her to and if he can, then what she has with Philip isn’t very special, is it? So she was right to say he either trusts her or he doesn’t. Was it a smart move to move to the floor? Absolutely! But I still stand by Chloe’s tirade.
