“And now I’ll be, you know, his brother,” he joked about the common trope used in soap operas. “We’ll see,” he teased and added, “Usually you’re dead and you don’t come back.” But he revealed that playing Cameron as a figment of imagination was “more fleshed-out” than when he was alive.
Talking about the role, he expressed, “I love that it was this pretty complex relationship with a lot of levels and colors.” On being asked if he saw the figment of imagination Cameron as a separate entity from thim being alive, he agreed. “I think that he was Cameron Kirsten filtered through Sharon.” He explained the character “had a lot more levels as a human being.”

While the figment “had a lot of levels that weren’t necessarily Cameron’s.” He further explained that it wasn’t Cameron or his personality, and instead “was Sharon’s idea of Cameron Kirsten.” Linden opened up about how he wasn’t bound by anything while portraying the figment and nobody gave him any notes about it, making the whole part very organic and impromptu.
Talking about his co-star Sharon Case, who plays Sharon Newman on the show, he said, “I don’t know if people realize how serious she is about the work she does, how serious she is about being an actor and the craft of being an actor. It’s just so much fun to work with her.” He also joked about working with Joshua Morrow, who portrays the role of Nick Newman.
“It was hard for me to keep a straight face around Josh, because Josh is such a fun person,” Linden shared. He concluded by talking about how the hardest job in Hollywood is being a soap opera actor. The 64-year-old said, “The amount of pages that you do every day, and then you finish and you go home and you get ready for tomorrow,” calling it fast and intense.
