Emmerdale's Dominic: 'Fans like new me'

Emmerdale's Dominic Power has revealed viewers seem to like his bad boy side since his alter-ego Cameron Murray became a love rat. Cameron has been cheating on girlfriend Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) with her aunt Chastity (Lucy Pargeter). His affair was sparked by Debbie having a one-night stand with her ex Andy Sugden to conceive a baby with matching bone marrow to donate to their critically ill daughter Sarah. Dominic said: "I think some people see him as a heartless cheat, some people see his predicament and have that memory of what caused this - it's very easy to forget how the baby was conceived with Andy and all that he had been putting up with. "But even those who think he's a bit of a cheat aren't necessarily unhappy about that. There's been a lot of positive feed back about him being a cheat and a bit of a bad boy." Cameron originally left his wife for Debbie, but Dominic revealed Cameron really is in love with Chas now. He said: "He does still care about Debbie and it's that care that is keeping him there." Dominic added: "Cameron is also happy to move back to Jersey. I'm not sure Chas is..."
