I'd have to go back and watch it but didn't Milton say he was an only child (in the Mr. Coleman scene)?
He sure did. He also said his parents died when he was young
The belief that they were brothers was fleeting for me. Too many establilshed facts said otherwise. But it's been a very STRONG sense that the two have had a very STRONG bond since before the ZA.
Personally, I'll be very disappointed if we don't learn what it was. There have been hints toward this connection and a few clues. I don't want to be left with WTF? I have my own suspicions and I'm dying to see if I'm right. If they drop this with no explanation, I don't think I'll take it well. lol.
No, Milton is not Phil's brother. The actors have no resemblance in common, other than being caucasian. The actors express no mannerisms in common.
If they were related, wouldn't Milton have interacted with Penny?
In "Prey" (S3E14), Phil asks Milton if he thought the biters had some semblence of their pre-dead selves. Milton said, "I think so." Milton seemed sincere, so he would have been shown engaging with his niece at some point or at least enquiring as to her well being.
And, Phil has been shown sleeping with at least two different women since his wife died - Karen & Andrea - yet he showed neither any affection except when they were one-to-one. As a brother, wouldn't you have a serious talk with your bro regarding depression, communicable diseases, or at least to use some contraceptives?
Do you think Milton knew about walker Penny and started all of his experiments just as a way to help the Guv cope with his loss?
Anyone care to speculate what their pre-ZA relationship was? Was Phillip the boss who took all the credit for Milton's telecommuting work? I still think Phillip saved his life by prying this agoraphobic out of his apartment or house.
I've already given my two cents worth, but whatever the relationship is, it's unique. The G has henchmen who are are aware of his ruthlessness and fear him for it. The townspeople see him as a messiah. Neither group presents a voice of concern or descent about anything TG says or does (except Tyreese who is still a newbie).I think EVERYONE is in agreement that they are not brothers. No need for any further arguments to the prove the point.
But...
