MONDAY 6/30 SNEAK PEEK CONFIRMS CHARACTER'S NAME...

In the sneak peek for 6/30 it states this: Kate is shocked to learn of Clyde and Jordan's connection.

Sometimes character names will be changed from what they are called in casting calls, but in this case, they stuck with Clyde.

As a reminder, here's the casting call for Clyde, the contract role that James Read will debut in next week: Clyde is a "Winter's Bone meets Duck Dynasty" type - a Kris Kristofferson...Nick Nolte Type. He's a serious man from the Ozarks who can charm almost anyone, particularly those who have no idea how lethal he can be. People who know him are scared of him. He is a man who may be without a conscience and who doesn't care about others and his affect on them. He takes what he wants. When cleaned up, he is very handsome.

JAMES READ JOINS CAST OF "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" NEXT WEEK...

Posted Image

James Read makes his daytime debut when he joins the cast of "Days of Our Lives" next week. Look for him to play a major role in the mystery surrounding Jordan and Ben's past. This will be Read's first appearance on a daytime soap during his 32-year acting career.

Read has been a series regular on three primetime shows: "Remington Steele" from 1982-1983, the short-lived "Shell Game" in 1987 and "Wildfire" from 2005-2008. He had a starring role as George Hazard on the three versions of the TV miniseries "North and South" and also played recurring roles on "Charmed", "American Dreams" and "Persons Unknown." He has been a guest star on countless numbers of shows, including "Cheers", "Fantasy Island", "Murder, She Wrote", "Home Improvement", "7th Heaven", "Touched by an Angel", "Cold Case", "Castle" and "CSI: NY." Read also played the father of Reese Witherspoon's character in the hit 2001 movie "Legally Blonde."

Read received a masters degree in psychology from Pepperdine University in 1998. James Christopher Read, 60, was born on July 31, 1953 in Buffalo, New York. He met his wife, actress-turned-lawyer Wendy Kilbourne, when they played husband and wife on "North and South." They have been married since 1988 and have two children: a son, Jackson Tavish (born 1990) and a daughter, Sydney Jacqueline (born 1995).

I used to love Remington Steele...having both Pierce Brosnan & James Read on the screen was college-crush fodder for me. He was also Barbara Hershey's philandering husband in "Beaches."

Charmed is what I remember him from most. Damn I miss the early to mid seasons of that show.

I'm sure I've probably seen this guy before, but I don't recognize his face or his name. Facially, he's not at all what I envisioned they would go with for this character -- this guy (Clyde?) and Jeremiah are going to look like a really odd pair on-screen -- but beyond that, I have no real opinion about this casting decision one way or another.

Please let Eric run into him. "You look familiar. Did I ever date your daughter?"

I loooove James Read. During the first season of Remington Steele, everybody loved "Remington" but I was all about Murphy and, although I loved Orry (Patrick Swayze) on North & South, George was always my favorite. He's one of those actors that I've always followed so I'm thrilled with this news! :cheer: :wub:

We were separated at birth, obviously. I had SUCH a crush on him back in the day.

Some gals have all the luck!

For some reason, I'm thinking this guy would be a great love interest for Kayla.

I'd love that. I've always liked James Read, and Kayla's personal life has been sorely neglected for a very long time. She was so appealing in those scenes with Aiden. I think it's time to have her start to move forward and try for love again.

Come on, Days! How long do I have to wait for Kayla to be happy?

She's clearly ready to focus more on her personal life.

That would be nice but he's more likely another conquest for Kate.

He and his wife have been married for about 26 years. I am impressed. Not many Hollywood marriages last like that.

Absolutely! When Kayla told Hope that she and her love life have been on the shelf, and that she is ready to move on, I thought for sure TPTB were finally gonna give her a SL and a new romance. (I just didn't want it to be with Hope's new man) Stupid me for even entertaining the idea that they had gotten the message at long last. :shame:

Why grant the Kayla fans what they want when Jenn, Abby and Kate's revolving door of men is just so much more exciting. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately you're right. Just another notch on her bedpost. Ugh.

Wendy Kilbourne is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. This reminds me, completely OT, why the hell isn't Midnight Caller out on DVD? And yes, sexy James Read would be perfect for the gorgeous Mary Beth Evans.
