What can you say about the return some twenty years later of Phillip Chancellor III? Did you love when Katherine Chancellor went down in flames again? One of these days I swear nobody will be around to catch her and she'll break a hip. Getting up there in years as I am, Genoa City is looking better and better as the place to live with its immediate ambulance service. Neil Winters, at the Chancellor Mausoleum kissing the old lady's ass, hadn't hung up the phone and what sirens could be heard in the background. Now that, is speedy service. The same cannot be said about the God Have Mercy Medical Center.

Katherine's extremely bad luck in high gear, she got stuck with witchdoctor Olivia Winters, who reported Katherine had suffered a stroke and not five minutes later left the patient so as to handle yet another emergency. Then again, when you've had a stoke, when you've been at the GHM less than an hour and say you feel "fine", and can scream at people outside to get inside, then why should your doctor feel compelled to keep an eye on you, or keep bickering family members out of the room as even Nina Webster confessed there they were again, at the hospital "filled with rage and guilt".

Are you understanding either what granddaughter Mac Browning returned to the mausoleum for? Katherine's "stuff"? What stuff would that be and wouldn't the maid be the best person to handle that task? Surely Ether Valentine knows the stuff Katherine needs and I'm thinking Depends, for one thing. And why did Jill Abbott have to tell Olivia that the real Phillip is back from the proverbial grave? Is this something you'd want getting around town? Any bets there will be days ahead when people seeing Phillip will ask if he isn't Phillip Chancellor like they did when Adam Wilson came back as Victor Newman JR., but everyone went along with calling him Adam anyway?

The big questions are how Phillip gained access to the mausoleum. Did Cane Ashby leave the backdoor unlocked? Isn't the place crawling with security? And now that Cane isn't Phillip will people make the distinction when running into him? And there they go again, inflicting their custom brands of pain and saying they never meant to cause anyone pain. What, exactly, did Phillip think would happen when his mother found out he isn't dead? Why on earth would Katherine slam Phillip for faking his death when she's done the same thing at least twice. Give him credit though, Phillip faked it for longer than anyone so far.

Mr. Chancellor isn't fooling me with his pretending to be wearing the pants in the family. That scene outside Katherine's room with Phillip was laughable. I'm the new Mrs. Chancellor. You got some 'splaining to do, boy. So don't be going anywhere. Or what? You'll hit me with your purse?
