or has anyone else noticed that Belle has yet to tell Phillip that she loves him? Maybe I just missed that day, but every time he tells her, she doesn't say anything back. Has anyone else heard her tell him?

I have noticed the same thing.

Nope, I dont think she's said it one time yet back to him. Odd, huh?

One time. The only time I can recall her telling Phillip was right after she slept with Shawn in the barn. She thought she was dreaming of making love to Phillip. She said something like.... After tonight I know your the man I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Something like that.

this is the only time she has ever said that. This is from Early Edition....

Mimi has talked to Lexie about Belle & Shawn recovering, and been assured they will be fine when their lungs get back to normal. Philip sits at Belle’s side while Hope sits by Shawn. Both Belle & Shawn are having constant flashbacks of making love, but Belle thinks it was a dream about her & Philip. She tells him she loves him & wants to marry him as soon as possible. Shawn has left his bed, as he HAS to talk to Belle, but sees them kissing, so leaves without a word. He returns, tells his mom about the lovemaking dream which was just too real. Hope tries to encourage Shawn to fight for Belle, just as she fought for Bo when she returned after being gone for so long. Shawn mentions Bo & Billie maybe finding Georgia, and what if Bo leaves her, but Hope knows Bo loves her, and his family. She is confident of their love being strong, and tells Shawn that Great-gran (Alice) always said Shawn & Belle reminded her of Bo & Hope…..so don’t give up on Belle. Meanwhile, Mimi has come in to visit Belle, asking Philip to leave them alone. He does so. She tells Belle that it was not a dream, that the lovemaking really happened, but was not Philip, it was Shawn. She tells her what the paramedic said about finding the two naked. (Gee, were they inside, or outside that burning bldg.?) Both Shawn & Belle again flashback to their lovemaking, with Belle realizing that Philip’s face has now morphed into Shawn’s. She says she has to talk to him. Mimi goes out & talks to Philip, telling him that she has to SHOW everyone what she found at Jan’s house, otherwise no one will believe it. (WHY to I have the feeling that Jan will have the entire thing dismantled by the time everyone shows up?) Shawn is lying on his bed, pondering, when Belle pulls back the curtain. She asks him if he remembers what happened between them in the barn. He replies, yes, he does. ………

That's bad when you've only told your husband that you love him maybe once or twice!

I TOTALLY noticed that too!!! I am so happy someone else noticed besides me!!!
