Richard Hatch : He will always be Philip Brent

From 'All My Children'. Always. May he rest in peace. (should have called him Philip as someone else did. (lol) Philip & Tara. She may have had that Saturday night fever with Tony but he was no Philip.

Yes to me too.

So true. He was so good in AMC; he made my teen-aged heart melt. I am shocked; he was way too young. The time has passed way too quickly.

I fell for Richard Hatch because his character Philip was the first guy (for me) who cried while telling his girlfriend how much he loved her. One single tear rolled down his cheek. I never forgot that scene. I also never accepted the Chuck & Tara storyline after the writers killed Philip off because Richard Hatch decided to leave the show.(lol)

I remember crying my eyes out the day he "died" in Viet Nam on All My Children. I didn't know then that soap opera characters never die. Except in real life. RIP Philip.

Pictures of Richard Hatch (Philip Brent), starts with some from 'All My Children' (1970).
