Issue with Voice of the Commonwealth, 2nd Edition

I ran into this issue immediately after receiving the Voice of the Commonwealth, 2nd Edition quest. Alyssa will not continue the conversation, instead continuing to just say "Oh hey!". Additionally, if I kill her and take the copy of Voice of the Commonwealth, 1st Edition off of her body, I crash whenever reading it.
 
Forgive me for being seriously dumb, but I can't get the quest ID from the console. I've used

help SS2C2_ConcordQuest_JournalisticEthics_Alyssa

and help <SS2C2_ConcordQuest_JournalisticEthics_Alyssa>

and not getting the numbers turn up. What am I doing wrong?
 
Just ran into the same bug - the conversation starts, and the the pan to the PC, and it all stops. I already had built indoor resident plots where Phil is.

Reading the above, I went ahead and scrapped the plots in the vacinity of Phil just before getting so close that Phil starts talking. I also waited until Jeff was in the room. Eh presto, dialoge runs through, quest progresses.
Note: I did not experience CTD when reading the first issue of the Voice.
Yeah that was it for me too. I had a couple beds in that room. I would get to the same point of waiting for something to happen and nothing would.
So I reloaded and this time, scrapped the beds before getting near enough to Phil.. Suddenly Jeff had the free space to actually walk into the room and Phil had the free space to turn towards him and the dialogue finally went through.
 
I am having the issue where Jeff will not talk to Phil. Phil outside of main building sweep in the front deck and Phil will not approach him.
I got this today too, and had to use console commands to skip his portion of the quest. Interesting, wasn't sure if it was unique to me or not. I have never seen him there before either - usually he is in the bathroom fixing stuff. I wonder if the change in his position is related.
 
Phil's change in location was part of the last release, as an effort to fix the issue almost everyone was having with plots being placed at The Slog that prevented Jeff from pathing correctly to talk to Phil. I haven't play tested the update, but I'll add it to my list and check it out.

I just tried this quest again, Phil was out sweeping the front area instead of working on the fixture in the inside room area (which gave me problems before), finally got Jeff close to Phil several times because he still insists on running around, and it would not trigger for me. I have the Slog as a settlement but have done nothing there yet.

Edit: Second try, still no go. Jeff was just a few feet from Phil. Tried using the console command to complete this portion of the quest and it's not working. I'm not sure if I'm typing in the command correctly, but I tried six different combos, two of which didn't get the "not found" but neither of which completed Jeff's talking to Phil.

To complete this portion successfully, I used " setstage SS2C2_ConcordQuest_VoiceOfTheCommonwealth2ndEd_Alyssa 25 " if that helps
 
Interesting ..... SS2C2_ConcordQuest_VoiceOfTheCommonwealth2ndEd_Alyssa doesn't have a stage 60 according to the Creation Kit.
I'll put this quest back on my list of things to test again, see if I can replicate the issue reported.
