Philip Kiriakis was the biological son of Victor Kiriakis and Kate Roberts. His journey in Days of Our Lives went through many turbulent relationships and a downfall in professional affairs. Back in the 1990s when Philip was shown as a teenager he fell in love with Chloe Lane but their relationship didn’t work because she falsely accused Philip of r*pe.
As Philip found out that Chloe’s private pictures had leaked and she had fallen for Brady Black, he ended things with her and left Salem to join the military. Philip also worked secretly for ISA and, in the meantime, developed a crush for Bella Black.
The couple married but soon after Philip had to leave for his posting in Iraq. As he returned, he found out that Bella was pregnant but with Shawn Douglas’ child. She gave birth to Claire and chose to live with Shawn, but when they couldn’t financially support the needs of the child as she had a liver transplant, Philip tried taking her custody but ultimately gave the child back.
In 2020, Philip returned to Salem on Days of Our Lives to take over Titan but Victor shared the power and position between Xander and Philip which led to another power struggle on Days of Our Lives.
Philip and Chloe gained closeness during this time but as he saw Chloe hugging Brady, he made a false perception that she cheated on him, and hence to take revenge on Brady, he planted a scenario to look like Brady killed him after which he left the town.
In 2023, Philip came back to see Chloe and told her that he was at a mental hospital for planting his own murder scene to frame Brady. He apologized for all he had done but till then it had already been late as Chloe told him that she was engaged to Xander after which he has not been seen since October 12, 2023.
