Leave it to Marlena to save the day - or at least have some answers to the mystery. I hope they can figure out how to save the show and prevent themselves from dying so that they can get back into their world.

Chapter 3
BOARDROOM, FOUR SEASONS HOTEL Philip, Shawn-D and Belle met up with J.J., Marlena and Brady. SHAWN-D: So...we're not real? MARLENA: That's correct. PHILIP: Not even me? MARLENA: No, Philip. Not even you. PHILIP: Damn. MARLENA: In a sense, though, a part of us is real, as we are all portrayed by actors. BELLE: This is too weird for words. J.J.: So, what's our next step? BRADY: Why don't we find these guys? BELLE: What do you mean, Brady? BRADY: I mean, we track down the actors who play us. I'm sure that they are just as upset about Days being canceled as we are. SHAWN-D: Not quite. I mean, Days ends, they get a new job. We no longer exist. BRADY: Yeah, but no Days means no job. It sounds to me like Days being canceled is kind of a last minute thing. I doubt that any of the actors who play us will have had enough time to get a job yet. And even if they have, it sounds like most of these actors got their big break on Days. Why not try to save the thing that got them started? J.J.: That's a good plan, actually. BELLE: Yeah, but how would we find them? I mean, do we even know what their names are? MARLENA: Well, mine is Diedre Hall. I know that because that's what I've been getting called the last few days. The rest of you, it's just a quick Google search away. Philip got out his phone and typed in something. PHILIP: Okay, here we go. Let's start with J.J. You're played by a dude named Casey Moss. J.J.: Nice name. PHILIP: Shawn, you're played by Jason Cook. Shawn-D looks at Philip's phone. SHAWN-D: Wow. That's uncanny. PHILIP: Belle, you're currently being portrayed by Martha Madison, but to be honest, you look more like a previous actress who played you named Kirsten Storms. Philip showed Belle a picture comparing the two actresses. BELLE: Yeah, I'm definitely more Kirsten Storms. PHILIP: Okay, Brady, you were once played by a guy named Kyle Lowder. Get this, in real life, he was married to the actress who plays Nicole. BRADY: Whoa. PHILIP: I know. But, you are currently portrayed by Eric Martsolf, the guy who played Ethan on Passions. BRADY: Cool! PHILIP: Theresa's played by a girl named Jen Lilley. Not bad. J.J.: What about you, Philip? PHILIP: Well, up until recently, I was played by some guy named John-Paul Lavoisier. I was also portrayed at one point by some dude named Kyle Brandt who looks nothing like me at all. BELLE: That was when you had to go under deep cover for the ISA and had your face redone. PHILIP: Oh, yeah. Then I had that “facial reconstruction surgery”, which was really just pulling off a mask. SHAWN-D: Good times. PHILIP: But the most popular portrayal of me was done by a dashingly handsome man by the name of Jay Kenneth Johnson. BELLE: That's really cool. Where are you getting all of this information from? PHILIP: Oh, I just created an account on a Days of Our Lives fan forum called MyHourglass. They get all of this up-to-date info on the show. Plus, they practically have a shrine devoted to me. Philip passed his phone around and showed them the world-famous Jayland. Marlena gasped and the others scrolled through the pictures in amazement. J.J.: How many angles of you are there here, Philip? PHILIP: Don't know. But, it seems that there's a lot of Jay fans on MyHourglass. SHAWN-D: So, now that we know who our actors are, how do we find them? MARLENA: We split up and search for them. Jason, Eric, Diedre, Jen and Casey are still on the show, so they'll be wherever the show's filmed, which is at NBC studios. As for Kirsten and Jay, we'll have to look for those. PHILIP: We'll have to look for NBC, as well. There's no direct address for the studio. PHILIP: It appears that Kirsten how plays a character named Maxie on a show called General Hospital. Wherever that's filmed, we'll find her there. MARLENA: Then, we'll split up. Check all the major cities. I suggest we form teams, although we can go on solo missions, if we choose. PHILIP: I'm searching for Jay and Kirsten. SHAWN-D: I'm coming with you. BELLE: Me too. MARLENA: I'll find NBC and try to convince the actors who still play us. J.J.: I'm gonna go searching for other Days actors. Maybe some of the retired actors, or ones who've moved on to other stuff will want to help us. BRADY: I'm gonna find Theresa, and then we'll join you, J.J. J.J.: Sounds good. How are you gonna find Theresa, though? Chicago's a huge place? BRADY: If I know Theresa like I think I do, I know where she'll be. MARLENA: So, it's all settled, then. I'll give you all a call once I've found NBC Studios. PHILIP: Sounds good. They all got in a circle and put their hands in. J.J.: Let's go. BRADY: We've got a lot of work to do.

They have a plan and it sounds like the characters have actually thought this through! I am curious where Brady is going to find Theresa ... a bar, maybe? I can't wait to see what's next!

Chapter 4
CAR Philip, Shawn-D and Belle were driving down the road. SHAWN-D: So, where are we going to, anyway? PHILIP: We're going to find Jay. BELLE: How are we gonna find him? I mean, do we even know where he is? PHILIP: Not exactly, but I can make a guess. While I was looking us all up, I found that Jay grew up in Springfield, Missouri. Since his IMDB page doesn't list him as doing anything, and nobody on MyHourglass seems to know if he's doing anything or not, I'm wondering if he might have gone back home to Springfield. SHAWN-D: So, we're going there to look for him? PHILIP: Precisely. BELLE: And if we don't find him there? PHILIP: We keep looking.
AIRPLANE J.J. was now sitting in an airplane. He was on his way to New York to see if he could find any of the other actors from Days. J.J. (thinking): I just hope I find somebody. Somebody who can help. MAN: Excuse me? J.J. looked over and saw a young man sitting next to him. He had blonde hair, glasses, and wore a t-shirt with a radio station logo on it. MAN: You look really familiar to me. Aren't you Casey Moss, the dude who plays J.J. on Days of Our Lives? J.J.: Well, not exactly. I mean, kind of. What I mean to say is, I'm not Casey. I'm J.J. MAN: But, Casey plays J.J. on TV. J.J.: Yes. MAN: So, you are Casey. J.J.: No, I'm J.J. MAN: Oh, I get it. Is this some kind of acting exercise? J.J.: No, it's not an acting exercise. I'm a musician, not an actor. MAN: I'm confused. My name's Tony, by the way. J.J. and Tony shook hands. J.J.: Well, Tony, don't be alarmed, but I've got a very strange tale to tell.
BERNICE'S TAVERN – CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Brady walked in. He had checked a few of the other bars in town, but had thus far had no luck. That was about to change. He saw Theresa sat at the bar, head in her shoulders, with a bunch of empty glasses in front of her. Brady walked over and sat next to her. BRADY: Hey. Theresa brought her head up. Her eyes were glassy. THERESA: Hey. BRADY: How you doin'? Theresa picked up a glass that had some pink liquid in it, and downed the drink in one gulp. THERESA: Not great. Theresa hiccuped and set the glass down. BRADY: I can see that. Another drink was set down in front of Theresa. Brady motioned to the bartender that it was time to cut her off. He picked up the drink and set it out of her reach. THERESA: Heeey! That's mine! BRADY; I think you've had enough. Theresa tried to reach for it, but only succeeded in laying her head on Brady's shoulder. BRADY: Come on. Let's get you out of here. THERESA: I'd rather walk. BRADY: No. You're coming with me. THERESA: I'll *hic* be fine. Don't worry about me. I'm a...big girl. BRADY: I know. But, you're still coming with me. You're sad, and you're very drunk, and I'm not going to let you go anywhere by yourself in this condition. THERESA: Whatever. Brady stood and helped Theresa up. She almost fell, but Brady had her lean against him, and he helped her out to his car.
And the journeys begin! Wonder if Belle, Shawn, & Phillip will be able to locate Jay. Love that they are using MyHourglass to try and track down the actors!

Poor Theresa. I feel so bad for her. I was kind of afraid some creepy dudes were going to try to take advantage of her and Brady had to step in. Speaking of Brady, I loved how he offered to take her home because she was so drunk. I wonder what will happen next.
