Hope it's Lady Muck, the prospect of her banging on about her racehorse is depressing.

I bet it'll be someone who isn't obvious again... or it might be and he'll finally get caught as this storyline is dragging on -_-

Emmerdale killer Cameron Murray is left in a panic next week as he realises that Alex Moss's body is in danger of being uncovered.

Alex's remains are currently buried at Sparrow Woods, but Cameron is petrified when he hears that some land there has been purchased and will soon be dug over.

It's clear to Cameron that his terrible secret is no longer safe and he'll have to move Alex's body somewhere else, but can he do so without arousing suspicion?

Here, Dominic Power - who plays Cameron - chats about the latest dark twist to the tale.

So Alex's body is coming close to being uncovered! Has Cameron always expected this day might come?
"I don't think so, as Cameron has been living on a day-to-day, moment-by-moment basis with this. I don't think he's ever planned this far ahead.

"Cameron thought that if anyone ever did find Alex, it'd be a long time in the future and they'd be such old remains by that point. Plus, Alex is in such a remote location, so Cameron has got no reason to think that there'll be a problem."

Has Cameron ever considered confessing to anyone?
"Yeah, I think every now and again, Cameron does get tempted to confess - because he's slowly getting madder and madder! He has some deep, psychological issues and he's eroding from the inside out."

Does Cameron assume that he'll carry on getting away with it, though?
"Well, he's been plate-spinning now for about eight months. When the plates have started to drop, he's been able to get them spinning again. It does feel like, 'Oh what a tangled web we weave', and it's not stopping! Cameron is so caught up in the thickness of his own lies and deceit that he can't see past the next hour, the next minute."

Does Cameron still love Chas?
"Absolutely. If Cameron could confess to anyone, it would be Chas. That's his biggest guilt - that he can't be truly happy with Chas until he's honest with her.

"Their whole relationship is a lie, because he's still in the woods - both literally and theoretically. At some point, Cameron would like to confess to Chas if he thinks that their relationship would survive that."

Is their relationship more fragile at the moment?
"Yeah, because Cameron's stresses start having an impact on the relationship. It's causing a strain."

Do you think Chas has any idea now of what Cameron is capable of?
"No! She has caught glimpses of it when he was about to attack Cain, so she knows that he's got quite a hefty temper. But I think Chas quite likes that!"

Is Cameron also concerned about Debbie's extreme behaviour?
"Yeah - Cameron may have had this war with Debbie, but he's still got an affection for her. He was absolutely devastated when they broke up, because he'd made the decision that he was going to be with Debbie rather than Chas at that point.

"Cameron also still cares about Sarah a great deal, and he feels responsible for Debbie's stresses and mental health."

What is Cameron's initial reaction when he finds out that the land where Alex is buried has been bought?
"He has to go and change his underwear - he's absolutely bricking it! It comes out of the blue and Cameron is not expecting it. Eventually I think Cameron will start expecting these things to happen - if you put comedy music to it, it could be a farce as it's so ridiculous!

"Initially Cameron wants to get out there and find out what's going on straight away, but he keeps being delayed by Chas, who wants to spend time with him. The more the stress builds up for Cameron, the more things stand in his way."

Cameron buys some tools to dig up the body, doesn't he?
"Yeah, Cameron is getting pretty good at knowing his way round a hardware shop! It probably won't be long until he's banned from every hardware shop in the country, to be honest!"

Where is Cameron planning to move Alex's body to?
"Just out of the way for now! He's planning to move it off that land and probably to another location somewhere else. Although maybe he'll think twice before making the same mistake! Cameron will have to figure all of this out, but currently he's just thinking from moment to moment. His main panic is to get the body out."

What would Cameron do if someone caught him behaving suspiciously?
"He'd tell more lies, because he's getting really, really good at lying!"

Is Cameron capable of killing again?
"Definitely! I can't see that this spree has ended just yet, just because it's Emmerdale for goodness sake! Of course there's going to be another murder, and of course Cameron's going to do it…"

What is the storyline like to be part of?
"Well, generally people are giving good feedback on the character and they seem to be enjoying it. You never know what Cameron is going to do next, and he's also not a black and white villain. He didn't start bad, but he's found himself in this terrible situation.

"From the moment that Andy and Debbie slept together, it's gone from one bad situation to another. For Cameron, it's constantly about trying to get to the next thing, so it hasn't come from a malicious place. It's come from a terrible temper, and killing Carl came from a desperate desire to keep the secret so that lives wouldn't be destroyed.

"I am enjoying it, but I must say, I am having some nightmares lately about this kind of grim stuff!

This has gone on for far too long now. We're nearly in May, so this has been 4-5 months! The storyline is getting seriously boring!

On the other hand however if Cameron does kill one more time, here is a list of the people I'd like him to off:


Rhona
Ali
Vanessa
Debbie
Sean
Bernice
Priya
Brenda
Katie
Kerry
Robbie
Rishi


I wouldn't miss any of these characters.....

Emmerdale star Dominic Power has promised that his character Cameron Murray will prove himself as the biggest villain in soap this summer.

The actor is up for the 'Villain of the Year' prize at the 2013 British Soap Awards for his portrayal of Cameron, who killed Carl King and Alex Moss last year.

Speaking on This Morning today (May 13), Power continued to tease that Cameron will strike again before too long.

He laughed: "If the 'Best Villain' award was in three months' time, Cameron would win hands down!

"It's going to be an amazing summer. The storyline just gets off the pace."

Power appeared on This Morning alongside co-stars Natalie Anderson (Alicia Metcalfe), Jeff Hordley (Cain Dingle), Steve Halliwell (Zak Dingle) and Fiona Wade (Priya Sharma) to help drum up viewer votes for the Soap Awards.

Anderson said: "On the back of our 40th anniversary last year with the huge live episode that we had, it's just been a brilliant year. Every time it seems to be getting better and better. The storylines are all interwoven as well, and everyone's putting in amazing performances."

Hordley added: "I kind of like the fact that we sit as the underdogs, but I do think that we pack a big bite and we deserve a win this year because it's been an amazing year."

The British Soap Awards air this Sunday (May 19) from 8pm on ITV.

Emmerdale killer Cameron Murray has more big episodes on the way next week as he finally moves Alex Moss's body.

Cameron is relieved when he carries out the gruesome task without incident. However, realising that he needs an explanation for his latest disappearing act, Cameron deliberately crashes his van into a tree on the way home.

Here, Dominic Power - who plays Cameron - teases the latest twists and turns for his villainous character.

Why has Cameron agreed to organise the fundraiser for Brenda's hospital fund?
"I don't think Cameron has thought this through, and I think he said it fairly spontaneously without much forethought or planning involved. Cameron has to get Gennie off his back, and I think volunteering to do a good deed for Brenda is his crazy plan to put Gennie off the scent. He wants to help change her negative and suspicious opinion of him."

How does Cameron feel when, after a brief respite, work starts on the building site at the woods where Alex is buried?
"Cameron is in a panic about Alex's body resurfacing, and it's all he can really think about at the moment. He is really worried that any minute now the police are going to come knocking having found the body.

"When Cameron first buried Alex, I don't think he covered his tracks too well as he never thought this remote bit of land would be disturbed, so he didn't remove any trace of his DNA or anything. So he is in a blind panic about this at the moment. I think he's probably having nightmares."

How does Cameron cope with the horror of moving Alex's decaying body?
"Cameron barely copes with the task of moving Alex's decayed remains. It is truly awful as it's terrifying. Not only is there a stench, but it's heavy and the thought of what he is doing is so terrifying and scary for him.

"Cameron is nervous about getting caught, he's covering his tracks, plus it's a wretched job as it's foul. I think he keeps getting flashbacks about this and could do for the foreseeable future. It is absolutely the most dreadful thing he has ever had to do. Bodies buried in shallow graves do not decompose too nicely!"

After re-burying the body, is Cameron confident that his troubles are over?
"I think for a split second Cameron is quite relieved, as he's dealt with the body and he's burnt the evidence."

Unfortunately, Cameron has missed Brenda's fundraising event and he now has a string of panicky messages on his phone from Chas. How does he react?
"The panic sets in again when Cameron listens to the messages and can tell that everyone is really angry with him. He knows that Chas is at the end of her tether with him anyway, and Gennie is currently corrupting her against him. So when Cameron listens to the angry messages, he knows he is going to walk into a wall of fury when he gets home and he might have blown his relationship with Chas forever."

What makes him deliberately crash into a tree - is he trying to kill himself?
"I think he thinks so briefly about what he is doing, it's really just a last ditch attempt to give himself an alibi. It's a story that explains it all. I don't think he wants to kill himself, but maybe he did - I hope not!"

How does Cameron feel when he comes round and the police find him and take him to hospital?
"Initially Cameron wakes up from his accident feeling gutted as there are no police, there's no sign of anyone and he thinks the whole staged accident has been fruitless. However, when the police then arrive, he is very relieved that he's been found and he is on his way to hospital with the best alibi for his disappearance that he could have hoped for."

Chas has packed his belongings and taken off her engagement ring, convinced that he is cheating on her. Will his accident change her mind?
"Ha, you will have to watch to see her full reaction but Cameron seems to be quite lucky at the moment. However, whether Chas will keep continuing to believe his lies and fabrications, I am not sure. Keep watching!"

Whatever Chas's feelings, Gennie is still suspicious. Might she be Cameron's next victim?
"I think Gennie has always been on his case, as she's not keen on him. However, I don't think she's a massive priority for him. Gennie doesn't trust him and never has, but as to his next victim? I don't think Cameron is looking for another victim quite yet.

"I think Cameron is just grateful that he's bought more time by re-burying Alex's body at the moment and he wants to get back involved with Chas, if she will take him. Gennie's not that significant to him other than she is annoying to him.

"I am loving filming all these scenes - they are really great and there are still some great twists to come. Secrets never stay buried for long!"

Emmerdale actor Dominic Power has described playing Cameron Murray in the ITV soap as "gruelling".

In an interview with Radio Times, Power also spoke about the controversy surrounding his recent storyline airing before the TV watershed.

"I don't think I'll ever do a more gruelling acting gig in my life," he said. "If you do a one-off drama or a film, your shooting time is between three to six weeks. Here, I've had nine months of this constant outpouring of emotion. So it's been tiring."

Asked whether he thought the scenes in which he digs up the body of his murder victim Alex Moss in order to move it were too graphic to be broadcast in Emmerdale's timeslot, Power replied: "I'm surprised it can go out at seven o'clock, to be honest. But the kids seem to be desensitised nowadays, don't they?"

Describing filming on the scene, he recalled: "They'd filled this tarpaulin with cement and I'm dragging it and gagging and coughing up sick because of the smell of putrefaction."

When asked how long he could remain in the soap, Power said that Cameron would "obviously have to get what's due to him".

"But this is seaplane," he added. "And people can forget very easily. I mean, I had a lot of viewers saying, 'Oh, I hate Cameron', until the moment that he started to turn on Robbie. And then they were saying, 'Well, I don't like Cameron, but I really hate Robbie!' It's amazing what audiences are prepared to forgive."

Meanwhile, when asked who Cameron's next murder victim could be, Power simply replied: "I'm sworn to secrecy."

Emmerdale's Cameron Murray storyline takes a big new twist next week as he sleeps with his ex-partner Debbie Dingle.

Cameron betrays current girlfriend Chas (Lucy Pargeter) after slowly realising that Debbie (Charley Webb) really was 'the one' for him after all.

Here, Dominic Power - who plays Cameron - explains why his character is cheating again and how it's just the beginning of high drama ahead in the Dales…

Why does Cameron suddenly start standing up for Debbie when Andy takes the kids away from her?
"Cameron has never, ever stopped having feelings for Debbie. He obviously still loves her, but he also feels responsible because he started all this. Cameron feels like it's his fault that Debbie is having this little breakdown. She has ostracised herself from everyone in the village and has nobody to turn to, so Cameron feels that he's to blame for that. He thinks that he needs to step up and be there for her."

Cameron is struggling to get access to his own kids at the moment, so is that also playing a part?
"Yeah, Cameron knows what it's like to have his kids taken away from him. At the moment, his kids aren't even speaking to him so he really feels for Debbie in this situation."

Cameron even defends Debbie to Charity and Chas, doesn't he?
"Yes, he almost catches himself out in a way! He starts to protest a little bit too much and then has to back-pedal a little bit. But he's basically saying that he feels responsible and I think Chas will buy into that, because she also feels responsible for Debbie being the way she is. Chas has always felt guilty about it."

How does Cameron find out that Debbie is planning to flee the country with the kids?
"Robbie basically says that he's seen Debbie put suitcases in the back of her car, so Cameron knows something's up."

Cameron then tries to stop Debbie from going. Why is he so eager over this?
"Because he's in love with her, essentially! The more he's tried to help Debbie recently, the more he's realised this. It's brought it to the surface and it's also because they've had moments alone. Because everyone else has ditched Debbie, it's meant that they've suddenly found themselves in situations where they're alone together. That intimacy has brought things back up again."

How does Cameron and Debbie's kiss come about?
"Debbie is threatening to leave for good, and kissing her is all Cameron can do! He absolutely loves her 100% and never stopped. In that moment last year before Carl gave away the secret, Cameron was committed to Debbie, not Chas. There was that moment where he left Chas stranded at a bus stop somewhere, because he'd decided he wanted to be with Debbie and her family."

Does Cameron still love Chas?
"Yes, of course Cameron still has deep affection for Chas. But in a future episode where Cameron is justifying his love for Debbie, he asks himself whether he could have put Debbie through what Chas went through and let her stand trial. The answer is no. I think Debbie has always been the one."

Does Cameron feel guilty about cheating on Chas?
"His moral compass is so skewed right now, so I'm not sure he does!"

After the kiss, Chas walks in on Cameron and Debbie. What happens?
"Chas senses an atmosphere, but Cameron is a professional at these sorts of moments, so he can kind of get out of them. He feels guilty, but in his eyes, he's potentially about to stop someone he truly loves from leaving and making the mistake of her life."

Debbie then rushes to the airport with the kids, and Cameron insists that he's going after her. Does he have any plans to leave with Debbie?
"No, I think it's mainly because he also feels for Andy. Again, he's in that situation where he can't see his kids and he wouldn't wish that onto Andy."

What happens at the airport?
"Debbie is checking in, but Cameron says that if she does this, he will kick off and make a big scene in front of the kids. He just manages to convince her that it isn't the right thing to do, and she ends up coming back."

How do they get to the point of sleeping together?
"Again, it's one of those moments where Debbie is quite confused and not particularly trusting of Cameron - and quite rightly so! But again, I don't think she's ever really lost her feelings for him. They both find themselves in a moment and they can't control themselves. The passion is back between them!"


How torn is Cameron between Chas and Debbie?
"I think he's just sick of all the mess now and he wants it to get straightened out. Yes he feels bad about Chas, but I think he feels that he could crack on, do this and be with Debbie. Maybe she's his salvation."

Doesn't Cameron have enough secrets without an affair to add to the mix?
"He definitely does, but he almost feels like this is going back to when times were simpler - before Carl King, his threats and his bullying!"

Are you enjoying the latest plot twist?
"I am enjoying it, especially because I know roughly where it's leading to! As I said at the Soap Awards when I was up for 'Best Villain', if the awards had taken place in four or five months' time, Cameron would have won hands down! It does get dark, a lot darker... it's going to be quite explosive!"

"No, I think it's mainly because he also feels for Andy. Again, he's in that situation where he can't see his kids and he wouldn't wish that onto Andy."

What happens at the airport?
"Debbie is checking in, but Cameron says that if she does this, he will kick off and make a big scene in front of the kids. He just manages to convince her that it isn't the right thing to do, and she ends up coming back."

How do they get to the point of sleeping together?
"Again, it's one of those moments where Debbie is quite confused and not particularly trusting of Cameron - and quite rightly so! But again, I don't think she's ever really lost her feelings for him. They both find themselves in a moment and they can't control themselves. The passion is back between them!"


How torn is Cameron between Chas and Debbie?
"I think he's just sick of all the mess now and he wants it to get straightened out. Yes he feels bad about Chas, but I think he feels that he could crack on, do this and be with Debbie. Maybe she's his salvation."

Doesn't Cameron have enough secrets without an affair to add to the mix?
"He definitely does, but he almost feels like this is going back to when times were simpler - before Carl King, his threats and his bullying!"

Are you enjoying the latest plot twist?
"I am enjoying it, especially because I know roughly where it's leading to! As I said at the Soap Awards when I was up for 'Best Villain', if the awards had taken place in four or five months' time, Cameron would have won hands down! It does get dark, a lot darker... it's going to be quite explosive!"

Emmerdale star Dominic Power has insisted that his character Cameron Murray never planned to commit murder.

Viewers will know that Cameron has killed Carl King and Alex Moss, and this week he will be responsible for Gennie's car crash after she uncovers his dark secret.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Power said: "It's got out of control. He's just trying to keep his head above water.

"I don't think he's naturally bad, it's a case of him making one bad decision after another.

"But he never set out to do it, so I don't think he's an out-and-out soap villain."

Power also reveals that some viewers of the soap view him as responsible for Sian Reese-Williams's (Gennie)'s departure.

"It's weird because there's this blurry line between fact and fiction," the actor added. "Everyone was blaming me for Sian's exit!

"I'm flattered to be part of it, and such amazing episodes. He will have more blood on his hands this week when Gennie dies.

"The weird thing about that week was that we knew she was filming her exit, so we made the most of it when we got back to the hotel bar!"

Emmerdale continues tonight (Tuesday, July 23) at 7.30pm on ITV.

Emmerdale stars Lucy Pargeter and Dominic Power have given Digital Spy new details of the soap's plans for an explosive October storyline.

Show bosses have decided to air huge episodes for the show's 41st birthday in order to match last year's dramatic live 40th anniversary episode, which featured the murder of Carl King.

Speaking to DS, Power confirmed that his character Cameron Murray will be involved in the new storyline - hinting that the killer's comeuppance could still be a while away.

Meanwhile, Pargeter (Chas Dingle) teased that the "huge" episodes will involve the cast filming out on location.

The Emmerdale stars were speaking at a special press event which was held to promote this week's spectacular stunt episodes.

Tomorrow night's double bill (July 25) sees Gennie Sharma have a terrifying car crash after being chased by Cameron and Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb).

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.

Emmerdale star Dominic Power has told Digital Spy that he feels "guilty" over his character Cameron Murray's latest murder.

Cameron claimed his third victim in tonight's double bill (July 25), killing Gennie Sharma (Sian Reese-Williams) to prevent her from spilling the beans over his dark side.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Power admitted: "When I found out that I was going to be part of that exit, there was a kind of feeling of guilt, obviously! There was mixed emotions.

"[I'm] really proud to be part of such a big episode in the year, but I also felt bad that I was the one doing it, really!"

In our video, Power also discusses whether Cameron will strike for a fourth time before the year is over, and ponders how the ruthless villain might get his comeuppance in the long term.

Additionally, he reveals what has been going through Cameron's mind as he shifts his romantic attentions back from Chas to Debbie.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.

I think Gennie's car will end up to the garage and Cain will find the recorder and find out the secret. He will then use it to bring down Cameron. I'm not sure if post mortem can prove anything that Gennie was suffocated. They will put it on the accident as she was badly injured and stopped breathing. There's no signs of struggle on her body, she was so weak.
I think Cameron has been a good addition to the cast-I didn't like him first but he's made Emmerdale interesting with his vile character. I never understand people by the way who cannot separate the fiction from the real life and go attacking actors/actresses on the streets because of their characters on the soap!
But I do hope, that this storyline will be brought to an end soon, and I really do hope that they will find out that he also killed Alex.

Emmerdale producer Kate Oates has revealed that viewers won't have to wait much longer to see killer Cameron Murray get found out.

A special week of episodes featuring Cameron (Dominic Power), Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and Chas Spencer (Lucy Pargeter) will form the climax of the storyline in the autumn.

Chas ends up with Gennie's Dictaphone which contained Cameron's confession that he killed Carl King, leaving viewers wondering whether this is how she discovers his true colours.

"The viewers will not have much longer to wait. We've already scheduled the weeks filming it on location but it will look like they're in the village," Oates told the Daily Star Sunday.

"It's going to be exhausting for Charley and Lucy as emotions will be running high. We usually film in nine-day shoots but we're doing double that and some. There's a big stunt.

"When Chas finds out the truth it makes her relationship with Debbie even more complex.

"Chas will find out that Debbie knew about Cameron killing Carl and of course her part in running Gennie off the road. It's big and it's going to happen this autumn."

She added: "There's been a lot of talk about when Cameron will get found out. I think there are a lot of viewers who are impatient for it. It's interesting to see how viewers take to different villains.

"When you look at Carl King for instance, he killed his own dad and did some terrible things but people were quite content to see him carry on in the village. Yet with Cameron they seem to be chomping at the bit."

Cameron killed Gennie Sharma (Sian Reese-Williams) in shock scenes aired last week.

Emmerdale star Dominic Power has admitted that he wants his character Cameron Murray to be killed off.

Cameron has claimed three victims of his own in the past year, murdering Carl King, Alex Moss and Gennie Walker in a long-running storyline.

Speaking to All About Soap about Cameron's ultimate fate, Power commented: "A comedy death would be great. Maybe just him getting away with it, stepping out of The Woolie with a really smug look on his face, and getting run over by a truck! Or Sandy could shoot Cameron. That would be awesome!"

He continued: "[The story] has been brilliant, and hugely flattering for me to play a big part in the show. And there's still plenty more twists and turns to come in Cameron's story."

The next big problem for Cameron comes when Alex's remains are dug up by the police, which prompts the return of the late mechanic's grandmother Beattie. To make matters worse, Cameron is even asked to organise Alex's memorial.

Power said: "Adam and Victoria have suggested giving Alex a memorial, and Alex's grandmother Beattie asks Cameron to organise it. Her request makes Cameron feel physically sick, and he tries to pass the responsibility away."

Emmerdale killer Cameron Murray fears the worst this fortnight as the police launch an investigation into the murder of Alex Moss.

The authorities spring into action after the body which was hidden on Declan's festival site is identified as Alex, but will Cameron be able to stop them from uncovering his guilt?

Here, Dominic Power - who plays Cameron - reveals what's in store as his character tries to stay out of trouble.

How does Cameron cope as the police start to investigate Alex's murder?
"Once again Cameron is spinning plates, thinking up ways to try and keep the police at bay. He is determined to send them off on the wrong track, but the pressure is really kicking in. Seeing the police making door-to-door enquiries sends his stress levels sky-high.

"Cameron is close to cracking as the pressure is enormous, and it's exacerbated even further when Beattie - Alex's granny - turns up."

Does Debbie pick up on Cameron's strange behaviour?
"Debbie comments on how Cameron looks rough and how he seems distracted. However, as she knows he isn't sleeping, she can sort of understand it. Plus, she thinks it's because he is still shocked and grieving to hear about Alex, who was his mate. Debbie loves Cameron and wants to help - she wants to stand up to the world for him."

What can you tell us about Alex's gran arriving in the village?
"Cameron is in the café and Beattie walks in, as she wants to feel close to Alex. She comes straight over to Cameron as he was so kind to her before - or so she thought.

"It's not long before Adam and Victoria suggest they could have a memorial of some sorts for Alex, so Beattie suggests Cameron could organise it. I think he feels physically sick at this point, so he quickly tries to pass the responsibility away. Beattie has noticed how cut up Cameron is. She comments when he leaves the room, 'That poor man is in bits'."

What happens when the police come to talk to Cameron?
"Cameron takes the route to tell as much truth as he can, so he tells them about Alex needing money and how he had a bit of a barney with him over it. He explains that Alex had been trying to live the dream by seeing Moira up at the farm, but he makes it clear that Alex was living beyond his means and scarpered when it got too much."

It's been revealed that Adam gets the blame for the murder. What gives Cam the idea to frame him?
"Victoria pipes up that Alex's body was found on Home Farm land and Declan hated him. I think an idea forms at that point."

Does Cameron feel guilty about setting someone else up for the murder?
"I think Cameron is not thinking about anything other than saving himself at this point. Yes, deep down if he thought about it perhaps, but he's just saving his own skin first."

How do you feel about Cameron's leap to serial killer status now that he's killed three times?
"People were calling him a serial killer when it was just two, but I'm not sure that is technically correct. You have to have killed three to be a serial killer. It's been an exciting few months of filming!"

Did you know as far back as when Cameron killed Carl that all this was going to happen?
"No, I didn't. I did know about Alex fairly quickly after Carl as it wasn't that far apart. I then got wind of the fact that I would be killing again but they didn't say which character.

"There were a few funny moments when I could tease other actors as I would say, 'Oh I've heard our characters will be friends and will have quite a few scenes together'. They were all quite panicked! It was quite funny. When I found out it was going to be Gennie but with the car crash, we had to of course keep it a secret. People knew about the crash but not what followed."

Is there a chance Cameron will kill again in the coming months?
"You will have to wait and see. But there is exciting stuff ahead."

What reaction have you had from the fans since Gennie's murder?
"We have had an amazing reaction. We as a team were sad Sian [Reese-Williams] left, but I think we gave her a good exit. The fans hadn't seen it coming - they knew about the crash but not what Cameron did."

How do you switch off from dark scenes such as Cameron suffocating Gennie?
"I do leave those dark scenes at work, so I tend to finish filming and get changed into my own clothes. Some evenings I head to the gym. I do try and not to take Cameron home with me - it would be way too dark."

What teasers can you give us for what's coming up?
"It's big! It's full-on and it could have an impact on a few others."

Do your friends and family watch the show? What do they make of the killer plot?
"My mum watches but she doesn't like me killing people. She didn't like it when he had affairs, but killing is even worse!"

Oates said to Inside Soap: "Who says things are ever completely over? I loved the storyline and Dominic Power's portrayal of Cameron. He's parallel with Carl King, who also killed a lot of people and yet lived this normal life.

"While there might be might be more mileage for Cameron, you have to think of the best story you can tell.

"It hasn't been easy to think about the end because I've been enjoying the plot so much."

Speaking about what viewers can expect from the anniversary of last year's live show in October, Oates said: "I am frequently asked about this, and whether it is going to top the live episode.

"Chas and Debbie are highly involved and it should be exciting. There has been a lot of bad blood between their characters for a very long time because of what has happened with Cameron.

"It will take a big event to sort that out, and I promise you it's going to be big."

Oates also hinted at what viewers can look forward to over Christmas, saying: "Turkey, presents, snow and all the festive classics!

"We've got a really exciting Christmas in store, with a fun story and a much darker one with some strong drama.

"There could also be a face returning to the village, but I can't tell you if it will be a welcome one or not..."

Emmerdale serial killer Cameron Murray is at the centre of another dramatic storyline next week, as he holds a number of the village's residents hostage at The Woolpack after managing to escape from a prison van.

Cameron is armed with a gun as the tense scenes play out amid the worst weather that the village has seen for a long time. As the situation escalates, the pub begins to flood and a much-loved character will be shot...

Here, Dominic Power - who plays Cameron - previews the explosive drama ahead.

What is Cameron's plan when he returns to the village?
"His plan is to get Debbie back."

Has Cameron forgiven Debbie for the part she played in his arrest?
"He has forgiven her. He is still in love with her, and forgives her because he would forgive her anything. He understands her. He is desperate. Everything has been about getting Debbie and her family back. Every murder, every wrong move and every bad decision, have misguidedly been about getting Debbie back."

Does he want to take Debbie, Sarah and Jack away with him?
"Cameron's plan is for him to take them all away. He truly believes he can make another go of it with Debbie."

Does he believe that he and Debbie still have a chance?
"Absolutely 100%. He refuses to admit defeat when it comes to Debbie. He truly believes he and Debbie still have a chance despite everything he has done. Cameron gives the police the slip by pretending to board a ferry, but his one mission is getting back to Debbie in the village."

Sarah is shocked to see a disheveled Cameron


What is the first thing he does when he arrives in the village?
"He goes to find Sarah. When Sarah first sees Cameron she is a little scared, as she knows something is not right and obviously she's heard all the chat about Cameron. She is a little scared, but Cameron does his best to convince her. He charms Sarah and soon he becomes the Cameron she knows and remembers. He gains her trust again. But then he vanishes, leaving Sarah alone."

What happens next?
"He heads to the village via Zak's van. He knows what he is looking for and finds Zak's gun."

What is Cameron's behaviour like at this point?
"He is two different characters - the family guy and then this crazy killer. He will switch between the two characters and as things are getting more manic and heated up, it is like the metronome is swinging forwards and backwards a lot faster.

"Cameron is more erratic and is at his most crazed when he's holding the hostages in The Woolpack. You will start seeing [him] going a bit crazy as if he is about to explode. He will go from one character to the other in the space of a sentence. He is definitely erratic."

Cameron is then seen in the cellar. What is he like at this point?
"When Cameron first gets into The Woolpack he is measured and unruffled, because he has to keep it calm. Cameron can remain calm under very stressful situations. He has managed to get himself out of so many scrapes. He always manages to find a way out if he thinks his way through a situation. When he was arrested and making excuses to Debbie and when he was holding her hostage in Tug Ghyl, he just needed to think.

"Cameron knows if he thinks things through hard enough, he will come up with a good lie or a plan. In prison he must have burrowed himself into the corner of his cell and thought, 'I need to think of a plan to get myself out of this'. And he does! He manages to get out of prison.

"Whatever is thrown at him, he deals with. He has this scary stealth-like control. He can become very measured and introverted, but he also has the capacity to be the polar extreme, which is wild, frightening and scary. It is also terribly arrogant to think he can get his own way after killing someone or even three people."

Cameron arrives in The Woolpack.


A lot of your cast members have commented on how scary your portrayal is in the hostage scenes.
"It is really lovely to hear they think that. I must say it really helped me because we were bouncing off each other, and their fear was really good for me to react against too. We filmed all the hostage scenes in chronological order, which also really helped me as we were going on this journey together.

"You of course learn your lines the week before you come to shoot and you almost forget what is coming next. It is like you are living it in real time and it is coming at you. You forget what is around the corner. All the scenes are really different by the time you've got them off the page and onto the studio floor.

"When you have these scenes and they are so well written, you find you can't go half measure at it. If you are holding someone hostage and everything is at stake, you can't give a restrained performance - you have to, excuse the pun, give it both barrels."

What was it like filming the hostage scenes?
"It was very strange as the days were long. We were in The Woolpack set for nearly five days. The week we recorded the hostage scenes was the first week we noticed when you finished work it had started to get dark outside. We left the darkness of the studio pub set to leave the building in darkness. It was quite eerie actually."

Did you enjoy recording the scenes?
"It was the best week ever. I would honestly say I had the best week I've had at Emmerdale so far and that is down to everyone. We had a brilliant crew, amazing cast and an inspirational director. We all want this week to be so good and we were afforded a little bit more time than normal when filming. It meant we could play and find the scene. Everyone was being really creative. It was a true ensemble making these scenes a great example of teamwork."

We know that in the hostage scenes, a much-loved character will be shot. Was it a shock when you saw who in the script?
"I wasn't shocked as I think it's perfect, because it is someone you are immediately going to worry about and feel sorry for. It's a great choice as that spins off and has its own complete storyline. The repercussions are felt not just for them, but others around them.

"That is what is so great about the show and what people are really buzzing about, as there are so many really strong storylines. It's not just the Debbie/Cameron storyline, but there are others that are interwoven. All these stories are interlinked. The fact that Alex's body was found was not just about Cameron being discovered, but we saw the effect it had on the Maceys and the effect it had on the Bartons.

"All these characters and stories are interlinked with one ongoing thread, it is genius. It's such a good show and I'm so proud of it."

Everyone panics as a gun shot is fired.


In the story, the cellar below The Woolpack has flooded and a set was built to film this at Pinewood Studios. How was it being there?
"It was great. Pinewood is a very exciting place to be. It is a real hive of activity, lots of things going on. Lots of big major movies being shot there with massive sets being built.

"The whole flooding thing is brilliant, as obviously you try and keep up to date in the soaps and a flood storyline is completely topical, because last year we had more flooding than ever in the UK. It has become a huge serious issue, particularly because of the amount of floods and the damage they have caused in the last year.

"So this almost biblical flood that hits the Emmerdale village is perfect. It is the perfect backdrop for everything that happens and filming at Pinewood was just great. I don't want to give too much away, but I don't get into the water until the flood is quite bad. So I was literally straight in at the deep end up and up to my neck in it. That was quite intense. It was absolutely brilliant fun."

Was the replica Woolpack cellar built at Pinewood Studios impressive?
"The set they constructed for the flood was massively impressive. When you walked on to [the] set, we appreciated they weren't just going to fill it up with water. There was a set with four walls, which they lowered into a big water tank. So as the water rises in the story, that is the set sinking. By the time I got into the water there was only a couple of feet between the water and the ceiling, just room for my head. It was very exciting!"

Does this storyline compare with the big live episode Emmerdale transmitted last year?
"This is also huge. People are asking how it compares to the live episode but it is completely different. The live was amazing, and I still think it was a miracle it went as brilliantly and as flawlessly as it did.

"This story we are telling is a very different beast and I think it is trying to do something else. There was obviously a lot of tension in the live episode, with all the different storylines. These episodes are focused on the one storyline and it's a different kind of intensity. It is the kind of drama I think the audience will become completely immersed in. It is more of a thriller. This week of Emmerdale will easily compete with the live in terms of audience enjoyment.

"I am really lucky to work with actors who really care. I am privileged at Emmerdale to work with actors who don't stop striving for perfection. The level of commitment to giving our best is outstanding, and I am sure this will be the work I will be most proud of."
