A Beloved Bones Character Was Meant
To Die After Just A Few Episodes
By SANDY SCHAEFER
"Bones," the Fox series, almost lost the beloved character Camille "Cam" Saroyan, a self-described "wisecracking pathologist with a dark sense of humor," after a mere six episodes.
Played by Tamara Taylor, Cam before settling into her groove clashed with Bones and the team, hooked back up with her former paramour Booth, and even threatened to fire Bones.
Cam nearly met her maker at the hands of the show’s first major serial killer, Howard Epps, in Season 2, but the cast and crew fell in love with both the actor and the character.
David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel were on board with Taylor from the start, but the series’ creatives needed a bit more convincing to keep Cam around for an additional 10 seasons.
