Ashby Opens Up About The Challenges & Thrills Of Reviving Cameron
In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Linden Ashby sheds light on the incredible journey that led to his return to the show. When the opportunity arose, Ashby initially couldn’t commit due to scheduling conflicts. But after a year, everything fell perfectly into place, granting Ashby the chance to step back into Cameron’s shoes. The Young and the Restless star admitted feeling nervous about returning to the soap opera after such a long break. Challenges awaited him on set, as he discovered that “it’s not like it used to be.” Ashby said that the soap now tapes five shows in just four days, and the dialogue comes at a rapid-fire speed.
At first, Ashby’s role required him to exude a menacing presence without much dialogue. But as the storyline progressed, things escalated quickly. Ashby shared, “Then I started talking and killing things… It is pretty much go, go, go, go, go.” Apparently, his character, Cameron, isn’t seeking redemption or a fresh start. He has scores to settle and unfinished business that needs attention. Fans of The Young and the Restless are well aware that Cameron’s return spells trouble for Sharon and Nick’s lives. But according to Ashby’s revealing interview, his comeback is far from straightforward. Before signing the contract, he had a request to be made to the show’s head writer. But what was Ashby’s daring request? Let’s find out!
Ashby’s Bold Request Ignites A Deadly Game On The Young And The Restless
During discussions about Cameron with Griffith, Ashby did not hold back and made a bold request. The Young and the Restless star requested by saying, “Hey, man, let’s write him bad.” In character, Ashby emphasized, “I’m not looking for a redemptive story here. I’m not looking to turn over a new leaf. I’ve got a few scores to settle and business to take care of.”
But wait, there’s more! After 20 years in prison, Cameron emerges with an intense thirst for revenge. Ashby makes it clear that Cameron is nothing like the manipulative Jeremy Stark, who enjoyed mind games. Ashby boldly states, “No mind games here. It’s simple—I’m going to kill. No tricks, just a trail of bodies left behind.” Will Cameron succeed in his sinister mission, or will the residents of GC band together to thwart his deadly plans?
