Poor Phil.... only one line in the entire series and that was at the beginning of "Twilight." It would have been interesting to have seen more of Phil. I read on Myer's site that he's WAY younger than Bella's mom.... at least 10 years. In Myer's original version of Twilight, Phil was supposed to be Bella's high school principal. The reason that she moved to Forks is because she just found it too weird living at home with her new principal/stepfather. Anyway, Myer's editors told her she ought to change the Phil/principal/stepdad thing because it made one think that Phil had been abusive towards Bella. So, Myer's changed it to the version we know now.... Phil is a baseball player, who gets shifted around a lot.... so Bella decides to move in with her father in Forks.
