In an attempt to make things right by Phillip he is resorting into his old ways. I really hope that Victor's quest to bring some justice to his family will eventually deal with the hypocrisy in hurting Bo and Shawn just to help Phillip. If there was ever a time when Brady would be a good fit for the show it would be this story.

It is obvious that Victor care NOTHING for Bo. Because if he did, then out of respect for Bo/Shawn he would never try to take Claire away from Shawn. Belle had no intention of denying Phillip a relationship with Claire. One year with Claire does not compare to 18, that arguement is soooo weak.

What would Victor give to have spent time with Bo during his years as a child? But yet, he is willing to do the same thing to Bo's son.

I'm not lovin' Victor for this action as most posters are. I would rather see him as Evil and go against EJ and the DiMera's; and make EJ pay for hurting Bo!!

Victor is back, better watch out shawn and belle, he's not going to take any of your crap. More Kate/Victor!

I'm just loving that Hogan is using Victor so much...Victor is an important character that has been neglected for the past few years...And he's so delicious when he shows his dark side...

It is messed up to Bo...but remember shawn crashed the car into Victor's mansion..and Belle was in love with another man the whole time she was married to phillip..Victor has reason to go up against them now...Also he is protecting his son, who he has almost lost twice now..

I'm actually really excited to see Victor go against Bonnie, when he finds out about the surragate...and that Bonnie has control of the kiriakis heir....John and Judi will rock...

I don't think that position in ratings matters as much as the rating, itself.

Not when the ratings are so close for the middle of the pack, to my way of thinking.

I just had to comment on one thing but omg at Victor & Kate dancing at the end. It was so sweet. I really hope Hogan brings Victor & Kate back together. They were awesome together.

I agree!!

I saw those scenes and they were SO good!!

John Aniston and Lauren Koslow were the MVP of this episode.

I have ALWAYS liked Victor and Kate together and have wanted them back together for almost the entire length of their break-up.

They just have this different kind of chemistry that I love....I hope this is a sign that they will be reuniting and once again become Salem's most powerful couple!

Oh Marlena speaking italian ... too adorable for words. Rough amore and passionata! Loving it!

I love how quickly Marlena's catching on how to use spy!tricks. Marlena's not used to having to trick people, so it's fun watching her follow in John's footsteps and learning more. And speaking of John - they are so damn cute it's almost nuts. Cuddly, sexy, adorable, angry, determind... so many emotions... Loved how Deidre portrayed Marlena's desperation to keep John safe, and of course "I'd walk through the gates of hell just to spend one more day with you!" THUD! Who writes this stuff? Give them a promotion!

IMO Philip has always been Victor's #1 son and would go up and beyond for him...but would not do the same for Bo.

Considering the history between Victor and Bo, it makes sense that Victor would do something like this to Bo, despite the fact that he is his biological father.

In Victor's mind, his actions are only to benefit Philip and I think in Victor's mind AND heart, Philip is #1 and always will be and he wants him to be happy, NO MATTER WHAT the costs (and in this case it is hurting Bo).

"I'd walk through the gates of hell just to spend one more day with you!" THUD! Who writes this stuff? Give them a promotion!

Bruce Neckels does, interesting enough. haha. I've always disliked the dialogue for the most part when he writes, but I LOVED today's. And ironically, he's one of the writers being fired, right? At least he's going out strong, lol.

I like today's show even more than yesterday's personally. Yesterday's was good, but a little too much romance for me. Today's was great balance. So much is happening!! I can't remember the last time that I actually enjoyed every single storyline featured in an episode. I was shocked that Kate found Phillip!! I hadn't read that spoiler, and it made it so much better! Victor really laid down the law today w/ Shawn and Belle. Beemer I felt stood toe to toe with Aniston with no problem....could Jason Cook have done that? Pretty doubtful.

My favorite today was John and Marlena. They conveyed so much emotion, and I havent liked Dee so much in an episode for years. Especially that scene where she screamed "I love my life! I love my family!" and so on. That was amazing.

I haven't seen this episode but what I saw today, Victor is hurting Shawn, not Bo. Actually, I applaud Victor as I don't believe Shawn is capable of taking over the protection and rearing of Claire. He practically raped Belle (in my judgement, he did) and neither of them knew what happened. It's not like they were in love and planning to be married when Claire was conceived, so this saying they are family and all that is just squat. Absolutely meaningless to a non-SHELLE fan and an insult to intelligence. I love what Victor is planning, however it will most likely backfire.

I cheered the dominant Victor today. It's about time he made his wishes felt. He is the senior of the group and even when he is wrong, he is right. Shawn has no business being involved in Claire's life other than the token of his sperm created her. It does not make him a father to her or a lover to Belle. He doesn't remember how he made that baby and thankfully because I believe he raped her. It's also a good thing she doesn't remember. I'm thrilled Victor is trying to take Claire away from them. Of course, it probably will backfire, but at least it will give the two young ones time to consider all the aspects of their lives and grow up some.

John and Marlena are a show in themselves. At one time I think Days would have a spin-off with John and Marlena.

Am I enjoying Steve and Kayla. This brings back the wonderful days of days. Now, I'm looking forward to them telling Stephanie.

Being a mother and one who well knows facing a severely injured son, I broke down when Kate saw Philip. What a heartbreak for a mother to see her baby so badly hurt. That was very well presented today.

Jean your statement about shawn practically raping belle is the most absurd thing you have ever said on here...Sorry that just my oppinon...how can an unconscious person rape another unconscious person? Also shawn and belle were very much in love at the time they conceived claire, even if they didn't remember it happening....

your anti shelle-ness is amusing at times...i'm guessing your going to be unhappy when they are back together..

I disagree. Shawn certainly does have business being involved in Claire's life. Yep, his sperm created her. But, he ALSO loves Belle. And he loves Claire. And Phillip is gone...they have no way of knowing he will be back or when that even could be. So I put myself in Shawn's situation...I love the baby that my sperm produced, i love the mother of that baby, I have no idea when the other father she knew will be back, or if he even will be....I'd do the exact same thing they're doing. And I'd be damn suspicious of why Victor got so upset over just a cut back in time. It's not like they wanted to completely take Claire away from seeing him...just to cut back. That's totally understandable to me.

Ah, I hate to admit that I liked Max and Mimi today (you better still leave the show Farah )

I love the way Victor layed into Shawn, he was great and I loved it, oh and Beemer too.

Kate finding Philip. I was really touched. I love to see real emotion from Kate, not this keep away from my child bs.

Hear hear on all points, Nix!

That is a RIDICULOUS statement. It makes no sense!! Even if you are not a fan of the couple, he did not rape her. And they have been in love before, during and after Phillip. What program are you watching????
