I agree Pekey, he is so creepy and nosy with anyone and everyone who enters the dump. Phillip is always lurking around the doors, in the background, has a habit of just “ popping “ in to a room or location where Stephanie is meeting or speaking with another person ( so he can find out what is being said or what is happening). Remember when Stephanie and her mother was speaking with the chapel restorer out in the chapel a couple years ago, and he suddenly had to show up in the chapel, with some type of an excuse so he could eavesdrop and figure out what was going on. He has deliberately popped in, is lurking outside the door, or just shows up to lurk when Stephanie is having a conversation with her mother and or Pottie. He set up his laptop and worked in a chair right outside the kitchen several times so he could eavesdrop on conversations and activities occurring in the kitchen.
He suddenly loved to visit the chapel with Stephanie after Sebastian turned up to work. When the other restoration people appeared, he seemed less threatened, and only visited the chapel when he was compiling another shopping list of things to look for on auction sites with Stephanie or spouting off on another staged fake “ discovery” about the chapel. I think it is creepy that guests cannot lock their bedroom doors.
When guests were eating breakfast downstairs, there has been video showing Philip lurking in the room by the windows, eating a croissant, listening to guest conversations. I can see him creeping around the halls at night, listening to conversations from outside the rooms of the guests, pretending to be looking after something in the Dump.
He, like Stephanie, has no boundaries. He is always searching through the rooms at the dump, nosily going thru the contents of furniture, closets, and rooms, reading anything he finds, and wants to be on top of any conversations, activities, or gossip concerning anyone affiliated with the Dump or Stephanie.I bet he was always spying on Amaury and Ñutty when they lived at the Dump.He would get uneasy when Stephanie had conversations with anyone without him being present.He knows the location and value of every item in the 40 room Dump and out buildings.
I have a feeling that he was really pissed when Stephanie went to South Africa without him several months ago, when she went on the sexcation with Pottie, was in Dubai with Gerry and Pottie, or was in London by herself with her mother or the co owners. He didn’t have control of the situation, and could not eavesdrop on their conversations or interject himself into their conversations.
