I love the fact that he actually said those
three little words...I already thought that he did just based on things he's said, admitting
first that he was 'falling in love’ with her, said numerous times how much he really cares for her and doesn't want to hurt her, the way he looks at her, etc, etc.

I do think that he probably thought by telling her he loved her that she would possibly reconsider. I’m so glad that she didn’t! I also loved the look on his face when Steph made her final comment and walked out...he looked so sad and like he knew he blew it!! I just wonder how long Stephanie will hold her ground?? I read a spoiler saying,
‘Stephanie kisses Philip”….I do think they’ll get back together and I’m looking forward to it…just hope it doesn’t happen overnight! Love the angst!!!
