'Homeland' and Claire Danes' fans had another reason to celebrate. Not just was it the day they would get to watch a scintillating episode of the political thriller, it was also Danes' birthday. The actor turned 41 on Sunday, April 12, and fans took to Twitter to wish their favorite star. 

While "Happy Birthday, Carrie!" was one of the most common tweets, here are a few that were a lot funnier and lovely. "We need Carrie to save the world," tweeted a fan.

"Happy, Happy Birthday!! Counting down the hours until the next Homeland episode tonight," wrote another. A fan put an image of an exhausted Carrie collapsing on the bed and captioned it: "Relax #ClaireDanes It's just another year. Happy Birthday!!!"

Here's one of the "awww" tweets: "Happy Birthday! #ClaireDanes You and your character have been a great inspiration to many young women and girls itching to make a difference and protect that which is most precious! Our #families, Our #collectivesecurity!"

The best birthday wish came with a request: "Happy birthday, and please, give us another season of #homeland."

"Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Claire! Can’t wait to see you tonight. I’ve got my hubby hooked on Homeland now too! Though we’re not sure whether to love or hate Yevgeny @CostaRonin," tweeted a fan.

"Where are all these passed years? She’s not so different at all for me. Thanks for your #Homeland amazing performance Miss Danes from  And #StayAtHome," said another. 

Danes' co-stars and directors wished her as well. "To the most amazing partner in crime ever @SHO_Homeland, Claire is the real deal on every level...she has made me a more fearless director. I simply adore you Claire! Happy Happy Birthday #clairedanes !!!!" tweeted director Lesli Linka Glatter.

"An absolutely inspiring person, onscreen and off. #HappyBirthday@SHO_Homeland #Homeland #ClaireDanes" wished Cliff Chamberlain, who plays Mike Dunne on the show.

'Homeland' is running on its final season and this week, fans will be eager to see the developments in Episode 10 titled 'The Designated Driver'.  The previous episode, 'In Full Flight' spelled bad news for Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes).

After all the hard work in retrieving the Black Box from the crashed chopper, Yevgeny Gromov (Costa Ronin) finally showed his true colors as he drugged Carrie and took away the information she obtained from the device. The question now is: What happens next? 

It has been an unpredictable season so far. How things end for Carrie is a question that only time can answer. What are your thoughts on 'The Designated Driver'?

'Homeland' airs on Sundays at 9 pm ET on Showtime.
