According to Young and the Restless (Y&R) teasers, viewers were given a nice surprise at the end of the Thursday, August 1 episode when Linden Ashby made a comeback to play Cameron Kirsten, the villain.
The good news is that Cameron is still very much dead despite his return as a hallucination. The bad news is that the hallucination is mocking poor Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) as her mental health continues to plummet. The news that’s even better? Fans will get to admire him for a lot longer than they might have anticipated.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Linden Ashby Is Happy To Be Back
Y&R spoilers note that Sharon admitted to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster), and Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) this week that she’s no longer taking her bipolar medication, which is causing this (as well as other) hallucinations.
Linden recently told TV Insider that it’s great to be back, especially since Cameron is not back from the dead or a ghost. Rather he’s a “person who is living in Sharon’s head”.
This means Y&R fans will get to see a different dynamic between Sharon and Cameron, and Ashby states in his TV Insider interview that Cameron is a manifestation in Sharon’s internal world, helping to give her a voice to things she’s afraid to say out loud or do. He adds, “He’s that person who’s encouraging her to do things that maybe she shouldn’t be doing.”
The actor also told TV Insider how great it was to reunite with Sharon Case, stating that, “She’s a friend, she welcomes me back with open arms, and I welcome her with an open heart.”

According to Soap Opera Digest (SOD), Ashby returned to the Y&R studio in June and is currently still filming with the daytime drama. This places Cameron Kirsten’s run well into September, or early October (at the very least, if not longer).
This is great news for Y&R viewers, as well as Ashby’s wife, Susan Walters (who plays Diane Jenkins-Abbott on the soap), who now gets to spend a little more time with her hubby as they work on the same show!
