Thom Bierdz’s character Phillip Chancellor III comes out to his wife on today’s “Young and the Restless”

We’ve seen little bits of Thom Bierdz as the presumed dead Phillip Chancellor III on Young and the Restless but today is his first big scene and a very pivotal one: Phillip tells Nina, his wife and the mother of his son, that he’s gay and always has been which is why he faked his death.

This is so cool!
