I thought it would be fun to see if we still feel the same way as when we first voted on this several years ago.
I thought Tyler aka "Pocket" was Mimi and Philip's baby, carried by a surrogate who skipped town. Meanwhile Shawn-D & Belle's baby was miscarried. Or am I mixed up???
Jason, many of us think since EJ switched the eggs before they were fertilized, that the baby Belle lost belonged to Mimi and Philip and that Tyler belongs to Belle and Shawn.
Kathy Lu is correct. I had this all written out but lost it during a computer crash. When Belle & Mimi were being impregnated (realistically in the same room), the eggs were in a dish with their names on it, and the sperm vials along side, with the men's names on them. The black hand switched things around, so that Mimi's egg was fertilized by Philip, and Belle's by Shawn. But what happened was with the switching that was done, it was actually Belle & Shawn's baby carried by the surrogate, while Mimi & Phil's was carried by Belle, and she miscarried it.
It was a very convoluted switcheroo. At the time, I was able to tape the show, and I guarantee you I ran that tape scene several times, to note the progression of the switching, and how it all went down.
But though everyone thought the surrogate was carrying Philip & Mimi's baby....that was not the case.
The thing is, subsequent writers never took advantage of what really happened, preferring to just let it stay the way Salemites had accepted things.
