Overall Personality: When sober, Ellie Cameron is a successful business person. She is an incredible producer who has won awards and given several actors their big start. While she is a good mother, Ellie does tend to travel a lot for her work. Despite some past quarrels on sets, Ellie definitely knows how to separate work from personal life. She would do anything for a friend, especially Marco. Of course, that was when she was sober.

Recently, though, Ellie has been far from sober. In fact, the past three months have been spent abusing alcohol. And when Ellie is drunk, she is a completely different person altogether. She is a desperate woman, willing to do anything for another drink. Not having any regard for anything else, Ellie has been known to make drunken appearances, none of which ever turned out good. Especially when she was at her daughter’s school, where she ended up slapping her daughter Renesmee in front of her friends.

Background: Ellie’s family moved to Toronto when she was in grade 9. Being a goth chick, she stood out in Degrassi. From the start, she was an outcast, making quick enemies with Paige Michalchuck, when she refused to move seats so Paige could sit next to Hazel. While she didn’t make it in with the popular clique, she quickly made friends with Ashley Kerwin, and later on Marco Del Rossi, after an attempt at a romance turned into a close-knit friendship when Marco confided in her that he was gay. To this day, Ellie considers Marco to be family.

After pretending to be his girlfriend came to a halt, Ellie found herself wanting to be around Sean Cameron more. At first, their romance sparked because he was the one everyone was scared of, and she was the one everyone was freaked out by. Though, it turned into so much more. Both Sean and Ellie were good for each other. She helped him go to Mr. Simpson and make things right when he stole his computer, and he helped her when her mom’s alcoholism got to a point where it was dangerous. That is, until Rick Murray ended up taking a gun to school. Sean had gotten in the way of the gun and Emma Nelson, and when he refused to talk about it, the pressures mounted to the point where he ended up leaving. It broke Ellie’s heart, though he didn’t stay gone. When Ellie was about to start University, Sean returned. And while the two reconciled, it was not the same. In fact, the two launched into an on-again off-again relationship.

In between relationships with Sean, Ellie ended up with short stints with other guys. Over the year, there was Lucas Valieri, Jay Hogart, a drunken moment of stupidity with Toby Isaacs, and during one particularly heated summer, a fling with three different guys. Consequently, Ellie ended up with children from each stint. In the end, though, she married Sean, being madly in love, and ended up having two children with him.

Ellie found herself launched head-first into a career when she was casted in a tv show while she was in grade 12. Despite having a passion for writing, journalism ended up taking the back seat as she managed to climb the ladder. Over the course of seventeen years, the redhead ended up a producer with her own studio. She has won several awards, travelled all over the world making her movies, and it would seem that she was on top of the world. An incident this past fall proved that wasn’t the case, however.

After having some new equipment brought into the studio, including a cherry-picker, Ellie climbed on top of it to test it out. Before it got too high, though, the machine faltered and the woman fell. She was fine, but the director she was working with insisted that she go to the hospital and make sure she didn’t have a concussion. While the doctor confirmed that she did not, she did find a lesion. After further tests, including a bone marrow test, it was discovered that she had cancer.

At first, Ellie kept it hidden from everyone, including Sean and Marco. But, when Darcy confronted her over her lack of participation in helping out with Hannah’s party, she couldn’t take it anymore and removed the wig she had been wearing, forgetting that her husband and best friend were present, and informing her bluntly “I have cancer.” With the news out, everything started snowballing out of control. Every treatment made her sicker and sicker, and when she was at her worst, she found out that Sean and Emma had cheated with each other. Wanting so hard to be strong, Ellie threw her husband out, and brought Marco’s family in the house. Soon after, the cancer went into remission. Ellie’s reprieve was short-lived, however, when Marco caught Ben cheating and left him, leaving the house at the same time. When that happened, Ellie’s loneliness caught up to her. And she soon found a new friend, a bottle of vodka.

For a few months, Ellie spent her time abusing alcohol. Unaware of what was going on with her children, Ellie’s world soon turned into a drunken haze. She even took a cab ride to Marco’s new place, where she passed out in his driveway. With the help of her best friend, though, she has sobered up, and hopes to rekindle her relationship with her husband and children.
