Adam Cameron is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Mat Stevenson.

[1] Home and Away's executive producer Andrew Howie told Brown that he had planned to make Adam a central character in the series.

[1] Stevenson had previously played a guest role on fellow soap opera Neighbours as petty criminal Skinner.

[2] Stevenson told Cindy Jones from The Sun-Herald that playing Adam was a role-reversal in comparison to Skinner, a part which helped him become more level-headed.

As his mother died some two years before, he inherited the estate which consisted of a modest house and a small amount of life insurance money.Stevenson told The Sun-Herald that his character only visits Summer Bay to "grab a hamburger" but ends up staying in the area.

Adam attempts to defuse the situation but finds himself in "deep water" and stranded in Summer Bay when they vandalise his yacht.

The actor said that Home and Away writing team were aware that he enjoyed playing "real horror" and decided to change Adam.

[12] Writers created a romance story between Adam and Carly Morris (Sharyn Hodgson), cut short when they decided he was better suited to Emma Jackson (Dannii Minogue).

[11] Stevenson later told Jason Herbison of Inside Soap that he enjoyed playing Adam again so much that he considered asking the producer for a full-time return.

[17] Adam's return storyline saw him moving into James Fraser's (Michael Piccirilli) house alongside Shauna Bradley (Kylie Watson).

[18] Adam is first seen when he rescues Carly, Roo Stewart (Justine Clarke) and Bobby Simpson (Nicolle Dickson) from being assaulted by Morris "Revhead" Gibson (Gavin Harrison) and several of his friends.

Adam manages to put the incident behind him and begins getting involved in many antics with local guys Matt, Martin Dibble (Craig Thomson) and Lance Smart (Peter Vroom).

Bobby's adopted son, Sam (Ryan Clark) is angry to find Adam is responsible and throws a stick at him.

Adam moves into Laura Brennan's (Kris McQuade) old shack near the back lot of the Caravan Park along with Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) and her son Nathan (David Dixon).

Five years later, Adam returns to Summer Bay as the new manager of The Bonza Burger Kiosk in the Surf Club and begins throwing his weight around by threatening to sack Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) and generally making her life difficult.

"[20] A columnist for Inside Soap said that "Adam sails pretty close to the wind when it comes to staying on the right side of the law, and some of his little business ventures are dodgy to say the least.

"[21] A writer from TV Guide opined that Adam and Grant splashed around the waters of Summer Bay in their "merrily macho way".
