Well, I have to say as much as I've hated the embryo/sperm switch storyline I loved it today. I guess I just hate Mimi and Phillip so much that watching them squirm as Belle and Shawn looked at each other and smiled was priceless. Also, did anyone get the impression that maybe Hope wasn't telling the truth today? I am feeling sorry for Frankie though. Pretty obvious that Austin loves Carrie and Sami still loves Lucas today.

Decent episode from what little I watched.

This episode was marvellous compared to last week's episodes. Keep it up, DAYS!

Something is definitely up with Hope. I just can't decide what is going on.

Frankie...... he's such a selfless man. I bet he walks away to let Jen and Jack be happy when Jack is healed.

The quad..... Martha continues to shine. She is great with her facial expressions. I have to give props to Kyle Brandt today too. He was excellent as the slightly rabid Philip.

I saw the last 10 minutes, and I think I am going to love this new Phillip.

His energy is just so different, and KB is doing a great job. Angry, PO'ed Phillip defentiely works for KB. Him and Martha work well off each other. Too bad it took me 2 years, to finally warm up to Phelle, cause I think I could like them as a couple.

I've always loved Philip. Kyle had so much to give to this role but JER just made him a filler and I hated that. It's great to get to see him come alive. Martha is really doing a wonderful job. JER nearly ruined Belle but I think she is going to be OK now.

EJ seemed to be saying the right words and doing the right things, but his facial expressions surely made me wonder what is going on in his head. Finially they became aware of the fire and what a mess. Tomorrow should be good when we see the fallout.

Hope thinks she has made a terrible mess of her life. She broke down but she is strong and has the resolve to deal with her fate. Thankfully. It's really weird that Patrick is written as this fine, gentle person, when he is Bonnie Lockhart's son raised in her care as an example, and then he became a criminal doing harm to people, worked for the DiMera's etc. while all the while he has this tender heart and gentle nature. Doesn't compute.

I'm happy to see Jack getting another chance but just wish it were so he could stay after Jen and Frankie leave instead.

The hour went by really fast and so it must have moved along well. Mimi makes me laugh.

I liked this episode. Some of it anyway. I love that Patrick's the daddy! I just hope it's true.

Martha Madison owns. Period. That girl is such a find for the show. MM just enhanced how bad FF and JC were in those scenes.

Well, today's episode didn't completely make me want to spork my eyes out.

The IVF story is still ludicrous but Brandt and MM put in great performances, totally left JC and FF in their dust. It's a shame Brandt is leaving. He'd be an awesome grey character if he really got into channeling his inner Kiriakis.

Loved Sami's emotion with Lucas. I buy her feelings for him in ways that I never do with Austin. Couldn't Carrie have inhaled a little more smoke and just died already? Austin too, while we're at it?

And who stops to perform CPR inside the burning building??

Still not sure what I make of EJ. I can't shake the feeling he's setting Sami up for a fall. How hot did Sami look today, btw?

The Hope/Bo/Patrick sl is a steaming pile right now, just a complete debacle. I hope it's fixed soon. I don't even know who these people are.

I'm going to miss Billy Warlock.

Couldn't Carrie have inhaled a little more smoke and just died already? Austin too, while we're at it?

YES!! I don't like Carrie. And speaking of Austin, how RUDE was he today. First Lucas his BROTHER, collapse, and all Ausitn is worrying about is poor Carrie. He didn't even notice that Lucas wasn't there. And then he doesn't even cared that Sami went in to get Lucas(of course, he doesn't love Sami). He then sent EJ in after Sami, while he watched over Carrie.

But I did LOVE the expression from both EJ and Austin, when Sami told Lucas she doesn't know what she would do if she ever lost him.

Well, today's episode didn't completely make me want to spork my eyes out.

Me either, from what I saw (the last twenty minutes, vaguely.)

The IVF story is still ludicrous but Brandt and MM put in great performances, totally left JC and FF in their dust. It's a shame Brandt is leaving. He'd be an awesome grey character if he really got into channeling his inner Kiriakis.

I never thought in a million years I'd say this, but I foresee (even if he's killed off) Brandt coming back into the fold a few years down the road, presuming Days is still airing. He loves Days and his cast mates seem to love him, and he's obviously talented with, y'know, material.

Loved Sami's emotion with Lucas. I buy her feelings for him in ways that I never do with Austin. Couldn't Carrie have inhaled a little more smoke and just died already? Austin too, while we're at it?

And who stops to perform CPR inside the burning building??

So much word, to all of it. I was scratching my head when EJ put Lucas down by Austin and Carrie with all that smoke.

I'm going to miss Billy Warlock.

Me too. He plays Frankie well as a tortured soul. Talented and beautiful and so full of potential. Oh well.

It's really weird that Patrick is written as this fine, gentle person, when he is Bonnie Lockhart's son raised in her care as an example, and then he became a criminal doing harm to people, worked for the DiMera's etc. while all the while he has this tender heart and gentle nature. Doesn't compute.

This is why we all can't stand this character. He doesn't compute on any level and, though I thought Brody was a decent actor in days past, he truly is jus thorrendous, always trying too hard to make us believe his non-computable writing.

I'm happy to see Jack getting another chance but just wish it were so he could stay after Jen and Frankie leave instead.

I think the majority of viewers feel that way, but alas...

the only person I feel sorry for is Phillip. the rest of the baby quad sucks.

FANTASTIC SHOW TODAY!!!

Warlock is doing a superb job-I really feel so bad for him. I know he is just going to walk away from Jen-you can just see that coming a mile away. I am going to msis Jack and Frankie.

The only thing good about the Hope/Patrick/Bo story was some good acting by Reckell and Alfonso and Hope and Jen's scenes. I love their friendship and will miss it. Great seeing Billie again too-great Bollie scenes. Patrick needs to go-they are pushing way too hard for people to like him. I used to hate when Bo told him off but now I just want Bo to rip his head off .

The fire stuff was good. Austin was so selfish. Lucas is still in there (reminds me of the Kiriakis mansion fire in 2001 with Kate saying "Lucas is in there!!!") and he is falling over Carrie. I liked the Carrie and Austin scenes but it wad so selfish. At least Sami asked how Carrie was and then she ran into too get Lucas and Austin still didn't care. Loved the Sami/EJ scenes (I think he is trying to make himself look good because he knows she will go down by way of Kate or the hand so this way he can get on her good side and have her when she loses Austin). Sami saving Lucas was great too and that end scene with sami all over Lucas and showing how much she cared for him with EJ and Austin watching was excellent.

Brandt impressed me-ALOT. He has come alive with this material-I don't want him to leave now. Phelle are actually a realistic couple now and I love seeing the Kiriakis in him. Martha was great as usual and Fath and Cook are horrible. I am so happy Brandt and Martha were there to save the scenes. The ending with Philip wanting them to abort the babies was sick but something extreme-something the old, villainous Victor would do.

Loved the show today-already much better then most of last week .

The ONLY thing i Loved was Shawn and Belle Scenes and with them looking at each other. The rest Sucked especially Phillip and Belle scenes. *Vomit*
