"(Producer) Frank Valentini made the character of Drew a reality for me, and now he has made Vanessa's dream come true as well," Cameron said on Instagram before her first episode aired in 2022. "Vanessa has been a 'GH' fan her whole life!"
The actor, who previously starred as Ryan Lavery on "All My Children," added, "When I met her I was Ryan on 'All My Children' and she had no idea who I was … she only watched 'GH.'"
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2022, Cameron said that his and Vanessa's marriage "hasn't all been smooth, for sure."
"We went through rocky times the first five years," he shared at the time. "Getting through those times, and getting to call Vanessa my best friend and fully enjoy every moment together, it's been better than I could have ever imagined marriage being for me."
