Dominic Power: Cameron is torn between Dingles

Emmerdale actor Dominic Power has said that it is not up to his soap alter ego Cameron Murray to choose between his two loves Debbie and Chastity Dingle. Cameron, who left his wife for Debbie, is now cheating on her with her aunt Chastity - but is in an even trickier situation after being blackmailed by her ex Carl King, and trying to support Debbie whose daughter Sarah is in hospital. And Dominic said he has no idea who Cameron would choose if forced, adding, "It's not up to him. It's what happens in the fall out. Because if Debbie found out about Chas, what would make him think that she'd want him after that?" However he admitted that he could see Chastity choosing Cameron over her two exes. "I think Cameron's a bit cocky like that. I think he just knows that they both finished it because of the fact that Cameron is already part of a family unit. But the feelings hadn't finished," he said. The drama unfolds this week as Debbie's daughter Sarah is rushed to hospital - but she begins to become suspicious of Cameron after he appears distracted by the other goings on in his life. "It's playing on her mind, and I do think his behaviour adds to her stress. But she needs to focus on Sarah and the baby, and that's what she's doing," Dominic revealed.
