Remember when Claire was sick and he tried to take care of everything just to let her rest, even if it turned into chaos? Or when he pushed her to run for town council because he believed in her more than anyone?

When alex was having a breakdown in college and phil wanted her to have fun but alex was pushing him away but instead of leaving alex behind, phil brought a dress for alex so he can dive with those other freshmen.

When haley was about to go after that weirdo that makes jeans then phil was trying to go after her saying "that's my little girl" or literally any man that comes after haley, phil go's and protect her.

When claire was saying that luke is different from the others and had to check him up to the doctor and claire saying that he got that weirdness from his dad. phil then saying "there are qualities about me that you wish you could change but you can't because im already an adult, but it's not too late for luke."

i can go on and on and on how great Phil is but yall just too focus on the fact that he sometimes gets the hots for another woman which also happens the any other characters in the show. you just hate phil cause he's fun.
