One of the most-missed characters on the General Hospital canvas has been Cameron Webber and has portrayer, William Lipton.
However, fans of the ABC daytime drama series will get to see him again on the upcoming February 5th episode of the show. That’s when, according to Soap Opera Digest, Cameron returns to Port Charles for the funeral of his good friend and cousin. Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez).
Lipton took over the role of Cameron Lipton back in 2018 and was last seen on-screen in March 2023. At that time and in story, Cameron went off to California to attend Stanford University. Mirroring real-life, Lipton has been off the show furthering his own education in college at USC.
While it remains to be seen just if and when Lipton could come back full-time to the series, it will be nice to have him back on the show for such an emotional moment.
In addition, Lipton continues to write music (he received a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2023), and pursue his recording career.
William Lipton Not Exiting General Hospital Permanently, Will Return
General Hospital viewers concerned that after yesterday’s episode, they have seen the last of William Lipton as Cameron Webber, have no fear, the popular actor/musician will be back!
In story, Cameron said his goodbyes to his friends and family at a goodbye party in his honor so he can head off to college at Stanford.
However, in real-life, Lipton shared exclusively with Soap Opera Digest in their upcoming issue out Friday, that he will be, “rejoining the cast in the summer.”
Lipton is concentrating on his sophomore year of college and to finish out the school year, thus he is taking some time off from the ABC daytime drama series.
On social media, William was thankful to fans for their support, adding, “Working at General Hospital has been such an important part of my life.”

I didn’t watch today’s episode, but it has a lot of chatter on Twitter about the character of Cameron. Apparently the character is going to play soccer for Stanford.
This has fans reeling. Is William Lipton leaving GH? I’ve looked around, I haven’t seen anything about the actor leaving the show. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
It wouldn’t be a big surprise, we haven’t seen too much of poor Cam since he was unceremoniously dumped by ex-girlfriend Josslyn Jacks for sexy Dex Heller.
I said once before that it was hard for Cam to compete against Dex because he looked so much younger than Dex. Hard as it is to admit it, I think Cam should be recast, given that he still looks so much younger than both Dex and even Spencer, whom he is supposedly older than.
I love William Lipton, but I am getting the feeling the character will be replaced, if he does return (if he is leaving) for someone older.
