James Read Returns to 'Days of our Lives' as Clyde in September

Batty Ben may be gone, but don’t count the Weston family out on Days of our Lives just yet. The Weston patriarch and original Weston family villain, Clyde, will be back on the daytime drama month.

Clyde’s portrayer, James Read, tweeted, “Clyde rides again in early September.” The actor didn’t say what Clyde would be up to, but judging by his past, it’s not likely to be charity work!

Lookout, Salem! One of the most fearsome Salem baddies in recent memory will likely be stirring up some trouble in just a few weeks.

Given that Kate is in hot water with Deimos, Clyde could be just the partner she needs to give Deimos as good as he plans to give her. Kate did, after all, push Deimos off a cliff and have a relationship with Clyde in the past.

James Read Leaves 'Days of our Lives' as Clyde, Says He Had A "Fabulous Time In Salem"

James Read

On Tuesday's episode of NBC soap opera Days of our Lives, Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) confessed to his father Clyde (James Read) that he was the Necktie Killer. A stunned Clyde, who was being extradited to Florida, vowed to keep his secret, and then was taken away. It was Read's final appearance as Clyde on Days.

The actor took to Twitter to thank fans for their support. "Clyde's Last Ride," he wrote. "Had a fabulous time in Salem - thank you for watching and for all your kind words and support! Rock on, Days!"

While I was never a huge Clyde fan, there's no doubt Read is a terrific actor and did good work in the role.
