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

Okay so this is totally the opposite of the type of person that I was expecting, but he should be a nice addition to the cast!

I agree that he's probably a new partner for Kate, but maybe he will stick around and mix it up with the canvas. This has potential.

I hope he's NOT for Kate. Kate's personal life already gets attention.

Kayla's personal life is always overlooked. She's one of the most neglected characters on the show, and her scenes with Aiden were charming. It's time for Days to give HER some attention.

Kate should be with Stefano.

I hope he's not for Kate. I actually want to see more Kayla than Kate, but that's not very likely unfortunately...

Oh, I know this guy. He's a good actor!

So. This is going to be "Clyde", and since he's going to be on contract, I'd say he's going to be their father.

For some reason, I'm thinking this guy would be a great love interest for Kayla.
Since he's going to be on contract, he really should be getting a love interest.

That would be nice but he's more likely another conquest for Kate.
See, I actually thought that too at first, but I don't think so anymore really. Since I think Kate is going to be very busy with Stefano and Rafe.

Didn't they say "short-term contract" in the casting call?

This has me excited. I was a big fan of Charmed and James is quite a decent actor. Should be fun seeing what he'll bring to the mysterious past of Jordan and Ben.

This would be the one time that I would SO :cheer: TPTB if they were to pull an EJabby and hook him up with Kayla, instead of the predictable route - Kate :sleep: .

Kayla/MBE is a beloved veteran character and actress with TONS of potential left to explore.

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'm know good with actors names, so this is the guy that played the Charmed ones father, exluding Paige and he played Elle's father, you know that champagne scene is often cut when the movie has been edited for TV, I don't know why.

Ooooh, I remember him. Nice choice!

And how I wish he would be a love interest for Kayla. MBE is too talented and beautiful to be sidelined. She should be in a sexy storyline with a handsome and talented actor like this one.

It would probably be best to wait until we know more about this character before rooting for him to be paired with anyone, let alone Kayla. I get the feeling he's not going to be a very nice man at all. Fans of Kayla might end up wanting him to stay far away from her.

Oh, I don't think he's going to be a good guy, but Days has had characters that have done horrendous things but they've been able to make them rootable and even redeem them. Jack raped Kayla and went onto be one half of a supercouple. Look at how many people wanted Vargas to stay and be paired with Hope. Just because James' character might be introduced as the villain in Jordan & Ben's story doesn't mean he has to stay that way. :shrug:

Of course I was speaking for the actor since we have no idea what the character will be like.

I wish the actor (based on what I've seen of his previous portrayals) could play a character on Days that would be a suitable for a love interest for MBE's character, Kayla.
