Chancellor Family

The history of the Chancellor family is deeply rooted in the history of Genoa City, which was founded by Civil War hero Garfield Dandridge Chancellor. In 1973 Garfield's great-great-grandson, Phillip Chancellor II, was running Chancellor Industries. He resided in the Chancellor mansion with his alcoholic and promiscuous wife Katherine (Kay). The two barely communicated with each other as husband and wife, and the lonely Phillip, driven to distraction by Katherine's obsessive behavior, sought refuge in the company of Katherine's young and beautiful paid companion, Jill Foster.[1] Phillip and Jill fell in love, Jill was a virgin but became pregnant the one and only time they made love. Phillip obtained a divorce from Katherine in the Dominican Republic, but Katherine got her revenge by picking Phillip up from the airport on his return, and drove him off a cliff when he refused to give her another chance. Phillip married Jill on his deathbed in order to provide for her and their unborn child. However, Katherine later had Phillip's divorce from her invalidated, on the basis she was drunk when she signed the divorce papers, which automatically annulled Phillip and Jill's marriage. So Katherine was reinstated as Phillip's legal widow. Phillip's affair with Jill Foster produced a son, Phillip III. The stage was set for a long and bitter feud between the two women that would continue for decades.
