Yes, Snake will bring up his feelings from when he found Claude. You’ll see the effects of this storyline throughout the season as it impacts the characters in various ways.
Why did I have to get attached to Cam!! He was an amazing actor, i loved him and Maya soo much!! I see why he died, but i'm gonna miss him being on Degrassi!
He's no J.T Yorke, that's why. Which is why you probably wouldn't see his name at the J.T Yorke memorial garden. Would that simply be a place where every student who dies during their tenure in Degrassi is commemorated?
Ilijana kalman Actually Cam plays a major part in Maya’s downfall in depression and he was mentioned in the remaining seasons of TNG....she says after she attempts suicide by overdose that her first boyfriend committed suicide and just shows how much t wrecked her.
I also love how the cast reacts to the scripts like we react to the episodes. It's like they're reading the book, while we wait for the movie. Especially their reactions is what caught me. I didn't expect for the cast to react the same way as the fans. I love it and hope to do it one day, but not too much hope because it's a one in a million chance(:
4:17 where Chloe hugs Dylan and say "I'm never letting you leave" not only is an accurate summary of my feelings but also has made me start crying again.
I have been crying and crying. I never really thought he'd commit suicide, at the most, I thought he would just self harm and Maya would find out & she'd get him the help he needed... But not the case, man, I just wish he would've at least lasted 2 seasons before it happened... It was way too short, but atleast Dylan said he enjoyed his time on Degrassi. ~ RIP Campbell "Puppy" Saunders
I know what you mean. Watching this made me realize "Girl, this is just a fictional character, get your damn self together!" lol. It made me feel closure, for some reason. And yes, Dylan did a fantastic job indeed. In fact, if he wasn't doing his job, everyone wouldn't be so sad/angered/disappointed that his character is gone.
"Yeah, especially pictures of you." and then Dylan's reaction lol xD He is adorable and so talented. I'm sad that we won't be seeing more of him on Degrassi, but this was definitely one of the best episodes in a long time.
This was such an important storyline. It really hit home for me, and I'm proud to see that Degrassi is getting back to its roots - tackling the tough issues. My gratitude goes to the writers, actors, etc. for handling this so maturely and responsibly. I hope everyone at Degrassi and Epitome knows that they've touched so many lives in tonight's episode. Hats off to you all.
I AM STILL SO MAD!!! And sad, and upset, and hurt...GRRR! I loved Cam, he was like one of the only reasons why I watched Degrassi. Now it's going to feel weird for me to watch all previous episodes with him.
So I guess the Bitter Sweet Symphony was the montage where Maya is playing her cello, Mrs. Tara made her speech about Cam, and all the students were sad/ worried? Wow what a great scene, and the writers are becoming so creative with these episode names! It literally was a Bitter Sweet Symphony. RIP Campbell Saunders. I'll always remember you.
All I can do is cry. Dylan is so talented and Cam was my favorite character on the show. I don't know how I'm going to watch the next few episodes. RIP Campbell you were very loved:)
I'm curious, do all shows do this with their main character deaths? By that I mean do they keep the deaths a secret from all of the cast except for whoever is dying. Degrassi definitely does as no one knew about JT's death either until the read through for "Rock This Town".
+10pandasrule10 I think you kinda have too if Dylan and Ryan were allowed to tell the cast who's to say someone else wouldn't accidently spill the secret...? Not saying they would but you never know for sure people make mistakes.
I knew it! Thanks so much! This is such an important issue and I appreciate how well it's being handled (showing the reverberations throughout the entire school, people who knew him vs those who didn't and everyone reacting differently to tragedy) I'm looking forward to the extended read through!
I have watched Degrassi since season 1, This was a very powerful episode. Dylans character will be missed but Cam's was absolutley neccessary. Love this episode and his character will be missed but he did an amazing job.
I've never cried so hard watching degrassi! As much as I loce how reall the episode was, it still breaks my heart that cam's gone. He was one of my favs
....so well done...I can't...I've been watching Degrassi since the beginning and I have not cried this much since JT died, and Jimmy got shot. obviously I've been watching for a very long time so I'm shocked that you guys can still shock your audience. RIP Cam.
When you see Chloe "Katie" pick her hand up, I thought she was gonna playfully hit Dylan for keeping it a secret. I've been watching this show for 12 years and this by far has to be my favorite episode! The way they expressed everyone's feelings was very realistic.
seeing the episode truly broke my heart... this was totally a shock to me. this week on 2 of my favorite shows 2 of my favortive characters were killed.. back to back and i literally cried everytime, wished they both had a longer story line. hope to see them in another series soon R.I.P Cam Saunders, and Jeremy Gilbert :(
i felt like we shoulda seen him one last time---i mean he was a new character! and he was already my fav! i felt so in the dark & didnt feel much of a connection since they never showed him :O
I don't like that he died, I never thought death was necessary to bring degrassi's old qualities back. BUT the fact that they focused on how everyone deals with his suicide does. It makes this show relatable and realistic again.
I agree, Dylan didn't have enough time on degrassi!! It'll never be the same. Camaya fans, Rest in peace forever! Cam was the sweetest guy ever! I hated Maya for not seeing how depressed Cam was. As for kissing Zig, Zig caused some of cams depression!! RIP Campbell Saunders
Thank you degrassi writers for portraying that real life isn't always unicorns and rainbows. People like campbell saunders actually exist in real life. Dylan Everett is an amazing actor. Cam is my favorite character and will be missed. RIP Campbell Saunders.
I love this! Degrassi stil goes there in a responsible/ conscientious way! Let's not forget our degrassi history (they never do) is Snake gonna have a sit down with Eli and bring up Claude?
That might be a bit of a stretch, having a guy come to Degrassi that happens to look like Campbell and have the same voice. I think they need to have him in some mini-episodes as a ghost like they did with JT and Rick (hint hint writers).
DaiKSmith what bothers me about this episode is not only that Cam died, but they didn't show what happened to him and they didn't tell what happened to him
I kinda feel the same way about him being one of my favs - I only watch this show every couple of seasons when they get a new chraracter I just love and Cam made me start watching it again :) On the other hand, it kinda was the natural progression for his character - if you seriously think that the events from last episode (with Dallas and Zig) were the only reasons he committed suicide, then you really haven't been paying attention to the other episodes...
Actually I was thinking it would be perfect if Maya (as suggested) deals badly with Cam's suicide and we see her handle it badly, and she runs into someone who could be Cam's dopple ganger and tries projecting the love she had towards Cam to that new person. maybe a little cliche, but i enjoy the idea
Yeah, they're reactions are just like ours...only magnified times like a million! lol. When someone dies on a TV show, not only do the actors have to deal with actually acting out the emotions that fans are likely feeling as well, but in real life, they also lose working with someone they've gotten to know. It must be weird to be an actor in a TV series and deal with on-screen deaths and departures of people you know.
I think they should have given him more time.. I was just starting to really connect and fall unloved with his character. If he was on longer I think it would have been even better. But great storyline. Also :( I was also starting to love Dylan :( darn
I actually really had to appluad when they said "Dylan Everett ladies and gentlemen". He. is. PHENOMENAL! I'm going to miss Dylan and I'm still trying to process Cam's death. I love and will miss them both
On Twitter Stefan Brogren replied to someone asking "Are we going to know how Cam killed himself?" by saying "Didn't want to show how. It shouldn't be the important part of the loss of Cam."
It really stinks because Cam was so loved and Dylan is my favorite actor but it's real life this actually happens. We'll miss you, Dylan!!): It'd be really cool to see Snake talk to Eli and tell him his experience with Claude and stuff ya know?
Hopefully they bring him back as a different character. Dylan is such a good actor and he didn't leave because he wanted to unlike JT. They had intentions of killing off JT but then the actor decided to leave Degrassi and they had to kill him off. I love Dylan he's so cute!
I have to say I am curious about how Cam chose to end his life and why he chose the garden but I think it probably isn't important to let us know how he did it. It's like one of the actresses said it's not about the person that died so much as it's about the people left behind and the affects death has on them.
I bet it is because the pace is super fast. Behind the scenes it looks as if a group of people were working with each other their whole lives and then they find out one of them is leaving and after shooting, they're gone the next day and you can't really do anything about it other than wish their career luck. That must be hard.
4:35 LOL! He was laughing and said oh good one pity a squeaky voice ,LOL TOO FUNNY! MISS CAM! But people , he isn't really dead. I mean with all of those videos that say RIP Cam, just calm down. It's a show
this still hurts me to this day and it's been two years
same. omfg i can't believe it's been two years already wtf.
same. omfg i can't believe it's been two years already wtf.
same. omfg i can't believe it's been two years already wtf.

He's a really like able person. So sweet funny and great sense of humor.
I don't like how after the character dies, they don't say a thing after that episode, or 2 episodes.
Ilijana kalman but they did. his character was still mentioned last year
He's no J.T Yorke, that's why. Which is why you probably wouldn't see his name at the J.T Yorke memorial garden. Would that simply be a place where every student who dies during their tenure in Degrassi is commemorated?
Ilijana kalman Actually Cam plays a major part in Maya’s downfall in depression and he was mentioned in the remaining seasons of TNG....she says after she attempts suicide by overdose that her first boyfriend committed suicide and just shows how much t wrecked her.
I'm pretty sure I saw that they didn't say how he committed suicide was cause they didn't want anyone to get ideas or any copy suicides
I also love how the cast reacts to the scripts like we react to the episodes. It's like they're reading the book, while we wait for the movie. Especially their reactions is what caught me. I didn't expect for the cast to react the same way as the fans. I love it and hope to do it one day, but not too much hope because it's a one in a million chance(:
"I couldn't have asked for a better degrassi experience" tears everywhere.
4:17 where Chloe hugs Dylan and say "I'm never letting you leave" not only is an accurate summary of my feelings but also has made me start crying again.
I have been crying and crying. I never really thought he'd commit suicide, at the most, I thought he would just self harm and Maya would find out & she'd get him the help he needed...

"I'm never letting you go!"
~The Entire Degrassi Fandom
We'll be posting an extended behind the scenes of the readthrough tomorrow
Adam crying during the reading ❤️😭
Dylan rocks.....He seems like such a nice guy, cam will be missed. GOD bless
"Yeah, especially pictures of you." and then Dylan's reaction lol xD He is adorable and so talented. I'm sad that we won't be seeing more of him on Degrassi, but this was definitely one of the best episodes in a long time.
"Especially pictures of you" LOL
Such a strong episode! So well written and real! Dylan's acting will be greatly missed on the show!!
This was such an important storyline. It really hit home for me, and I'm proud to see that Degrassi is getting back to its roots - tackling the tough issues. My gratitude goes to the writers, actors, etc. for handling this so maturely and responsibly. I hope everyone at Degrassi and Epitome knows that they've touched so many lives in tonight's episode.

Especially pictures of you 😂😂
No Dylan is a cutie
So I guess the Bitter Sweet Symphony was the montage where Maya is playing her cello, Mrs. Tara made her speech about Cam, and all the students were sad/ worried?

Katy C Good point. I guess it also makes it more emotional for the cast when they first read the script
Luciana Ducceschi
I miss Jt 😪
I knew it! Thanks so much! This is such an important issue and I appreciate how well it's being handled (showing the reverberations throughout the entire school, people who knew him vs those who didn't and everyone reacting differently to tragedy) I'm looking forward to the extended read through!
*crying in the library watching this and I have my Physiology final in 3 hours...* 😭
I love how Luke lukes at Dylan at 2:02 and someone says suicide and he just stares at Dylan
I have watched Degrassi since season 1, This was a very powerful episode. Dylans character will be missed but Cam's was absolutley neccessary. Love this episode and his character will be missed but he did an amazing job.
I've never cried so hard watching degrassi! As much as I loce how reall the episode was, it still breaks my heart that cam's gone. He was one of my favs
Normally with shows that are on as long as degrassi has been on they normally get worse with the more seasons they do but degrassi is amazing!!
I miss Dylan 💔😪
I literally started sobbing when Simpson told Maya and Katie that Cam committed suicide ;( Cam was definitely my favorite character
I cried when I watched the episode. I absolutely loved it.
I literally was bawling the whole time and its still hard to believe cam is gone!! :'( Im in shock and it won't be the same the next few episodes...
DYLAN EVERETT=MY LIFE
Thank you for sharing this video, and so quickly after the episode aired. Dylan will be missed.
....so well done...I can't...I've been watching Degrassi since the beginning and I have not cried this much since JT died, and Jimmy got shot. obviously I've been watching for a very long time so I'm shocked that you guys can still shock your audience.
RIP Cam.
When you see Chloe "Katie" pick her hand up, I thought she was gonna playfully hit Dylan for keeping it a secret. I've been watching this show for 12 years and this by far has to be my favorite episode! The way they expressed everyone's feelings was very realistic.
This video was done awesomely! definetly hit every level of questions and thoughts of Cam and the cast as a whole..
When you're watching this video because of Degrassi, but then you see a Cage the Elephant poster in the background.😍💖
I'm still crying :'( thank you for this episode it means a lot.
I'm still in tears
seeing the episode truly broke my heart... this was totally a shock to me. this week on 2 of my favorite shows 2 of my favortive characters were killed.. back to back and i literally cried everytime, wished they both had a longer story line. hope to see them in another series soon R.I.P Cam Saunders, and Jeremy Gilbert :(
NO ! Why did he have to go. He was such a great character in Degrassi, you didn't need to let him go
i felt like we shoulda seen him one last time---i mean he was a new character! and he was already my fav! i felt so in the dark & didnt feel much of a connection since they never showed him :O
I'll miss Cam! Dylan's such a great actor!!
Well done. I'm still quite shaken by this.
I don't like that he died, I never thought death was necessary to bring degrassi's old qualities back. BUT the fact that they focused on how everyone deals with his suicide does. It makes this show relatable and realistic again.
I agree, Dylan didn't have enough time on degrassi!! It'll never be the same. Camaya fans, Rest in peace forever! Cam was the sweetest guy ever! I hated Maya for not seeing how depressed Cam was. As for kissing Zig, Zig caused some of cams depression!! RIP Campbell Saunders
the end made me stop crying for a little bit...
ill miss u dylan, luv u!
Just watched the episode and it seriously broke my heart.
PLZ PLZ PLZ, HE HAS TO MAGICALLY COME BACK TO LIFE!
They didn't fire him...He knew it would only be one season when he signed up.
Sing this episode reminds me of my best friends' son only he was sick and passed in his sleep.
seeing this behind the scenes defiantly made me feel a little calmer wish we could see the whole discussion the cast has though
I'm so sad that.was the last episode he was in as soon as I heard "cams dead" I couldn't stop crying I still cant
Thank you degrassi writers for portraying that real life isn't always unicorns and rainbows. People like campbell saunders actually exist in real life. Dylan Everett is an amazing actor. Cam is my favorite character and will be missed. RIP Campbell Saunders.
I love this! Degrassi stil goes there in a responsible/ conscientious way! Let's not forget our degrassi history (they never do) is Snake gonna have a sit down with Eli and bring up Claude?
I know this was a really good story line but I will miss Dylan so much. He was my favourite character out of all 12 seasons.
I cried so much Degrassi is amazing but i'm really gonna miss Cam
Thanks for uploading this. :)
That might be a bit of a stretch, having a guy come to Degrassi that happens to look like Campbell and have the same voice. I think they need to have him in some mini-episodes as a ghost like they did with JT and Rick (hint hint writers).
painfully sobbing
R.I.P Campbell Saunders :( you will be deeply missed
DaiKSmith what bothers me about this episode is not only that Cam died, but they didn't show what happened to him and they didn't tell what happened to him
i love the ending lol
I kinda feel the same way about him being one of my favs - I only watch this show every couple of seasons when they get a new chraracter I just love and Cam made me start watching it again :) On the other hand, it kinda was the natural progression for his character - if you seriously think that the events from last episode (with Dallas and Zig) were the only reasons he committed suicide, then you really haven't been paying attention to the other episodes...
That episode made me cry...
I cried soooo much
Actually I was thinking it would be perfect if Maya (as suggested) deals badly with Cam's suicide and we see her handle it badly, and she runs into someone who could be Cam's dopple ganger and tries projecting the love she had towards Cam to that new person. maybe a little cliche, but i enjoy the idea
I FELT THOSE THINGS. I FELT ALL THOSE THINGS WITHIN A SECOND IT HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN. I'm gonna throw up.
rest in peace Cam JT and Julia they will be missed
Yeah, they're reactions are just like ours...only magnified times like a million! lol. When someone dies on a TV show, not only do the actors have to deal with actually acting out the emotions that fans are likely feeling as well, but in real life, they also lose working with someone they've gotten to know. It must be weird to be an actor in a TV series and deal with on-screen deaths and departures of people you know.
i basically watched this season for campbell...this is just great -__-
aw i'm gonna miss him :(
I agree with this! That would be amazing!
omg but if he returned like as a twin i would cry for the rest of my days can the writers do this or
Omg. Your audience will miss you Dylan. D;
I want him to come backkkkk.
Elizabeth Degagne not just him by JT too.
where does it say that in the video? or was it in the episode?
What if they hired Dylan as a new character and he ended up with Maya?
I think they should have given him more time.. I was just starting to really connect and fall unloved with his character. If he was on longer I think it would have been even better. But great storyline. Also :( I was also starting to love Dylan :( darn
What nooo why campbell of all the goddamn people they had to pick campell this makes me so sad i am about to cry this is not good
lakisha s to me if they should kill any Degrassi people it should be the people that deserve it not the hot ones or the best looking people.
I actually really had to appluad when they said "Dylan Everett ladies and gentlemen". He. is. PHENOMENAL! I'm going to miss Dylan and I'm still trying to process Cam's death. I love and will miss them both
HIS LAUGH AT THE END
On Twitter Stefan Brogren replied to someone asking "Are we going to know how Cam killed himself?" by saying "Didn't want to show how. It shouldn't be the important part of the loss of Cam."
You wrote that before they killed Adam :(
OMG NOO SPOILER ALARM 😭😭😭😭 WHYYYYY
Holy shit. You're right!
It really stinks because Cam was so loved and Dylan is my favorite actor but it's real life this actually happens. We'll miss you, Dylan!!): It'd be really cool to see Snake talk to Eli and tell him his experience with Claude and stuff ya know?
O.M.G, that would be so cool!
Hopefully they bring him back as a different character. Dylan is such a good actor and he didn't leave because he wanted to unlike JT. They had intentions of killing off JT but then the actor decided to leave Degrassi and they had to kill him off. I love Dylan he's so cute!
Still in shock.
Aww his laugh at the end. Why'd they have to end Cam's role?
CAM WAS THE BEST ACTOR ON THE SHOW WHY DID THEY LET HIM GO!! AND TO EVERYONE WHO THINKS DYLAN IS HOT YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!!
i don't know if i'm jumping to conclusions, but i immediately thought that Cam hung himself using the hose from the green house.
I have to say I am curious about how Cam chose to end his life and why he chose the garden but I think it probably isn't important to let us know how he did it. It's like one of the actresses said it's not about the person that died so much as it's about the people left behind and the affects death has on them.

That must be hard.
I cried when i saw this
@epitomedegrassi thank u
Bless.
4:35 LOL! He was laughing and said oh good one pity a squeaky voice ,LOL TOO FUNNY! MISS CAM! But people , he isn't really dead. I mean with all of those videos that say RIP Cam, just calm down. It's a show
Did dave and maracol switch tags?
