LARRY POINDEXTER, WHO PLAYED LARRY WELCH'S BROTHER, RETURNS TO "DAYS" LATER THIS MONTH

Larry Poindexter returns to "Days of Our Lives" later this month. No word yet on what character he will be playing this time around. For 8 episodes in 1984, Poindexter appeared as Ben Welch, the brother of Larry Welch, who stood up for Larry as his best man at Larry's wedding to Hope Williams. Poindexter appeared in a very comical scene, where Larry finds out that it's not Hope under the wedding veil, but instead Horton family friend Howie Hoffstedder posing as Hope (who had at the time had been "kidnapped" by Bo, who was trying to stop the wedding). Watch this clip (at the 7:52 mark) for a brief sighting of Poindexter as Ben (he's standing next to Larry)...and see when Larry, Ben and the rest of the gang find out it's Howie under the veil!

IMO, IF hes not a creep like Larry, and he becomes a love interest for Hope, as the same guy, I would find that a veeery interesting turn of events!

Interesting. I think I recall Eric Martsolf following him on Twitter. I think they're friends.

I remember him as Ben and loved him on Santa Barbara. He's so handsome. I'm intrigued by this and hope it's more than a few episodes.

The script that was shown in the Days rap video listed a Ben.

Color me intrigued. If he's back as Ben, this could play in to the start of Hope's big storyline. I wonder if Ben brings some news about Larry, like he left his fortune to Hope. There's got to be a reason they'd bring back such a minor character no less than 30 years after he last appeared. :shrug:

Intriguing....

The SoapCentral website lists Ben as Larry Welch's "adoptive brother." I wonder if Ben will connect to John's new backstory? Could Ben and John be related?

BTW, wasn't DAYS also casting a 20-something character named Ben? Was "Ben" just a code name for what the 20-something character would actually be named?

I would love if he were playing the same character again... I'm desperate to know something, anything about Hope's story.

I don't think he's going to be playing Ben again based on his reply in the first tweet. I think he chose to add suspense in his last tweet.

The timing of his return though makes me think his character may have something to do with Hope's story though. We'll see! Wish we knew more!

This seems to be the most appropriate place for this, as it answers the question of who Larry Poindexter will be playing:

Cool! Jason shout out!

Interesting. So we're still getting a Ben character by May? And he will be on contract too based on where he was listed in the rap video script, right?

I've been a long-time poster at SON, so it's nice that they remembered me in their scoopage. :)

In its Comings and Goings section this week, SOD said the 28th and 29th.
