Poor EJ, he’s been set up to take the fall for a crime he didn’t commit. But at least it has given him novel meet and mingle opportunities. That’s because while he is wrongly incarcerated he’ll be bunking with none other than Kate Roberts’ (Lauren Koslow) ex, Clyde Weston.

Say what you will about the shady character, he has appeared to be remorseful for being a heinous dad and menacing criminal. He will get another chance to show his unique brand of remorse when he is seen in a storyline with his son Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson). We last saw Clyde in 2021.

James Read has also been seen on ABC soap General Hospital in the role of Gregory, but perhaps the New York native is best known for his work in the miniseries, North and South.

Clyde and EJ are old pals, sort of. At one point in the past, Clyde did EJ’s dirty work, running drugs from the hills and hollers of Poplar Bluff to Salem. Unfortunately, Clyde’s bodyguard shot and “killed” EJ. All was made right again by fabulous mask designer and mad scientist, Dr. Rolf (William Utay).

Long story short, Clyde reappeared in 2020 upon hearing his son was marrying Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal). That was a prison break and alas Clyde was captured and put back where he belonged. Fans saw Clyde again in 2021 and now as a new year dawns he’s back like a bad turnip.

  1. […] Days of Our Lives Read says that he thought it would be strange with a new actor but Dan reminds him of James Scott, the last E.J. However, Read says that after a few minutes they fell into sync and things worked out great. Read is also very excited to work with his onscreen son as well. Robert Scott Wilson, who plays Clyde’s son Ben Weston, started about the same time as Read originally.

Read just became a grandfather and plans to use that to enhance Clyde’s reaction to finding out he is going to be a grandfather. […]

  2. […] There has been some real change in Clyde since this last prison stint, and he means to keep it that way; he’s working hard on his redemption! Clyde has found it’s a lot easier to be straight than to be a criminal – not so much running and hiding and trying to think up the next scheme! Clyde acknowledges he did his son and stepdaughter wrong when they were younger and he wishes he could take it back, but he knows it’s too late. He’s making it his mission to be a much better grandfather to Bo than he was a father to Ben, and he means to prove it! Clyde even doesn’t mind dealing with dirty diapers and he loves to see the innocence in his grandson. […]
