Days of our Lives spoilers – Who is Philip Kiriakis?

Philip is the son of Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) and Kate Roberts and the surrogate son of Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel). After joining the military he lost part of his left leg and now wears a prosthetic. Philip married Belle Brady (Martha Madison) but they separated when he discovered he is not the father of Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan).

Philip became involved in running Titan Industries with his father Victor, but Victor is disappointed in his ability, leading him to go to work for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). In a tragic accident, Tony dies and Philip is blamed. Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) saw what happened but is pressured to lie and Philip is cleared of any wrongdoing.

Victor looks out for Philip when Tony’s father threatens revenge against Phillip. When Philip is later shot and nearly dies, Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) is the main suspect.
