It is with the utmost respect that we petition you Ms. Phelps to bring Phillip Chancellor III, Thom Bierdz back to "The Young & The Restless." We have been enjoying Phillip since 1986, and love his work. "Days of Our Lives" is doing a gay storyline and the actor won a Daytime Emmy, but this is about Thom, who is an asset to the show.

Daytime Confidential, Soap Opera Digest, SoapZone's Carol Banks Weber, and many many more soap opera media are behind him. All of us cannot be wrong. Won't you please consider at least speaking to Thom? Look at his adorable face in this sincere You Tube video, filmed at his home in Lake Arrowhead, and decide for yourself:

People should sign in order to shed some more light on the plight of gays in America, and how difficult it is for them to get great roles in Hollywood.

There are so very few gay story lines on daytime tv. This is shocking due to the high profile of the battle for gay rights, and in particular, many states voting on gay marriage. One does not to be gay to have an appreciation of a gay story line and the insights it could offer viewers.

Also they should sign because Thom is not just an actor, but he is also a humanitarian, an author, and an artist as well as my friend. So far,Thom has donated over $100,000 of his proceeds from paintings and prints at www.thombierdz.com to many charities. As such a well rounded inddividual, Thom can be an asset to the show if any of his talents are used.

I have wanted to see Thom back on Y&R for a long time now.I think it would make a great storyline for the show.I did not like the way he came and gone so quickly the last time he was on.Y&R could have done so much more with his character.Please bring Thom Bierdz back on.

Cece Marie Payne they could have him play a gay love interest for Rafe. Or they could have him as an emerging artist, since he paints in real life, like they have Devaughn as an emerging record producer. There are many possibilities with raw talent such as Thom's. He could be re doing those ancient portraits of Victor Neuman and other famous families there, and having art exhibits.

Rita E. Henderson

We shall unite and change that Phyllis because maybe they did not understand his popularity. Now is the perfect time to bring Thom Bierdz II back to Y&R!

I had the pleasure of meeting Thom in the late 80's at a mall signing. I was in awe of him and still believe he is a man of great integrity and honor. His story is one of bravery and I believe that his role as Philip Chancellor has given Y&R even more integrity. The pouring of support in this cause should prove this. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Roary Ridein you are funny! Thom thinks he can have the best of both worlds, by living out in lake arrowhead and acting. I happen to think that he can multi-task, and do them both as well. After all, he is our Thom!

Rita E. Henderson

Such a great story Stephen!You are most welcome. Helping Thom is very easy because he is a wonderful friend. Here's hoping Thom gets back as Phillip!

Dear Mrs. Phelps. I've been of fan of Young and the Restless for many years, most of all, a #1 fan of Mr. Thom Bierdz II since he first appeared on the soap opera. He has been a huge inspiration to me and others!

Rita E. Henderson

So sweet and to the point my friend! Thanks for your support and keep spreading the news!

Michael Reinsissel

No need to thank me Rita. That's what friends are for.

Thom has my support! Thank you Rita.

Rita E. Henderson

Thank you Phil for being tere for Thom. We hope to see him on tv very soon!

Bring Thom back, plain and simple he's good TV, and there's sooo much more story to be told with him. You've already outed him, so you know he's gay. Just think of the ratings....You need him.

Rita E. Henderson

I am in total agreement with you my new friend El! Your comment was straight to the point and we appreciate it. Thank you for your support of Thom!
