Cameron Clark is a fictional character from Hollyoaks, played by Ben Gerrard. The character made his first on-screen appearance on 10 October 2002. Cameron remained in the show for four years.

Gerrard originally auditioned for the role of Jake Dean but was unsuccessful and was later recalled to play Cameron instead. Cameron was Gerrard's first professional acting role.[2] He remained in the show for four years.[3]

Cameron is characterised as a "polite and affectionate" student.[2] The official Hollyoaks website described the character as being "blessed with a rather dull reputation", he also suffers from depression which became apparent following his completion of school, which culminates in a suicide attempt.[2]

Writers developed a relationship story between Cameron and Lisa Hunter (Gemma Atkinson). Soon after the begin dating, Lisa begins to receive abusive text messages.[4] Atkinson told a reporter from Inside Soap that the abusive messages begin because she is with Cameron and receives abuse calling her a "slag". She explained that "lots of kids at school have been jealous of her and Cameron".[4] Atkinson believed Lisa is most effected by a text questioning whether or not Cameron is aware that she self-harms. In addition, Lisa realises the mystery harasser must be someone close to her. Cameron tries to expose the culprit by telephoning the number and Zara Morgan (Kelly Greenwood) answers. Atkinson said "Cameron immediately assumes it must be Zara, so Lisa confronts her about it."[4] In a plot twist, Zara reveals that the phone belongs to their ex-boyfriend Brian Drake's (Jonathan Le Billon) phone. He reveals that he wanted revenge for Lisa ending their previous relationship. Atkinson hoped that Lisa and Cameron would be able to move on from their ordeal and build a successful relationship.[4]

Cameron makes his first appearance at Hollyoaks Comprehensive as something of a heartthrob; Abby Davies (Helen Noble), Steph Dean (Carley Stenson), and Zara are just a few who instantly fall for Cameron. Lisa is the only one who succeeds in capturing his attention, however. The pair begin to date, but it ends when Lisa becomes obsessed with Kristian Hargreaves. Lisa dumps Cameron for Kristian and labels Cameron as ‘dull’ and soon Cameron has a reputation for being boring.

Cameron goes on to join a band with Lee Hunter (Alex Carter), David "Bombhead" Burke (Lee Otway) and Norman Sankofa (Jamie Luke), called 'The X Factor', which never quite recover after Lee uses explicit lyrics during the performance for a christening at The Dog in The Pond. Cameron's ambition had always been to be a musician, but his parents pressure him to become a doctor, especially after he is offered a place to study medicine at a London university. Deeply confused and depressed, Cameron attempts suicide, but Bombhead and Sam Owen (Louis Tamone) arrive in time to save him. Both his friends and parents understand and support Cameron while he decides to take a music course at Hollyoaks Community College.

At college, he falls for new tenant Bella Manning (Kim Bourelle); the pair get along, but nothing becomes of it, as she had left HCC. By some bizarre turn of circumstance, Cameron catches the eye of Steph. Eventually the pair become an unlikely couple, and Cameron is seemingly happy.

After the few months, however, he begins to act strangely; he avoids his friends, isolates himself from the outside world, and becomes fixated on cleanliness and order. Cameron faces the prospect of losing Steph rather than admitting he needs help. Eventually he goes to a doctor to discover he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Steph supports him through his ordeal. As he gets better, Steph arranges for Cameron to join a band, which he is delighted to do—until he learns that it is going to be across Europe. He tells Steph he is prepared to stay, but she knows how much music means to him, and persuades him to join the band. Cameron says his goodbyes to her, and makes his exit away from The Dog in The Pond to Europe in a bid to make it as a musician.

A reporter from the Sunday Mail compared Cameron to the reclusive American businessman Howard Hughes because of his OCD. They added that "his obsession with germs takes over his life."[5] Sam Soap from Inside Soap praised the character for his realism. They stated "I'm gripped by the tale of Cameron Clark slowly sinking under the weight of his parents' expectations and his inability to relate to his friends. And now he's hit rock-bottom with his suicide attempt. Looks like there may be (real) life in Chester after all."[6] Megan, a representative from OCD Action analysed Cameron's OCD story. She assessed that Cameron could be treated with their help but noted Steph's behaviour needed to alter around Cameron. She added that Steph needed to make Cameron "accept less than 100% certainty."[7]
