The Young & The Restless fans may be in for a shock, as Linden Ashby, known for his role as Cameron Kirsten, has teased the possibility of returning to Genoa City—but not as the same character. Although Cameron’s storyline came to a dramatic conclusion when Sharon Newman finally confronted the haunting illusion of her past tormentor, Ashby has hinted at stepping back into the world of Y&R in a completely new role.

Cameron’s exit was marked by a haunting series of events, where Sharon battled the trauma of her past, with Cameron appearing as a hallucination triggered by a dangerous drug in her system. Their twisted connection culminated in a final, emotional goodbye, leaving Cameron’s ghostly presence behind. Sharon’s farewell to him seemed to close the door on his character, making it seem unlikely for Ashby’s return. However, soap operas have a long history of bringing back actors in surprising ways.

In a recent interview, Ashby joked about returning to the show, even playfully suggesting he could be “his brother.” While he made this comment in good fun, long-time Y&R fans know that soap operas often introduce dramatic plot twists, including long-lost relatives or twins—so this could be a real possibility. Furthermore, Ashby returning as a completely new character is not out of the question either. Soap actors have frequently played multiple roles, sometimes with complete transformations, so it’s entirely possible that Ashby could portray a character who shares a resemblance to Cameron but brings a fresh personality and purpose to the story.

Though it’s just speculation for now, Ashby’s playful hints have sparked curiosity. Could a twin or entirely new character be on the horizon for Genoa City? Fans are eager to see what the writers will cook up next—because in the world of soap operas, anything can happen!
