Cam Lawson
Camilla "Cam" Lawson
is a struggling turned successful author, and Tracy's eventual adoptive mother.
Camilla makes her début appearance when she visits Stowey House in series 1. Also an aspiring author, Tracy tries to get her attention by unsuccessfully using Adele's makeup. When Camilla reads her stories, she is impressed makes a number of return visits. Having formed a bond with Camilla, Tracy asked her to use her investigative skills to find her birth mother. Camilla initially agrees. However, she abandons her mission having learned from Jenny that her mother has deliberately severed ties with her daughter. Initially upset with Camilla, Tracy forgives her. Having been asked by Tracy on numerous occasions to be her foster mother, Camilla eventually agrees at the end of series 1.
Unfortunately, the foster placement is short lived when Tracy accidentally sets fire to Camilla's kitchen (series 2). With the damages being so severe that Camilla can no longer look after her properly, Tracy returns to the Dumping Ground. Whilst Tracy initially blocks Camilla from her life they eventually make up and rekindle their relationship as friends. Whilst they see each other regularly, Camilla is hesitant to foster her again. When she learns that Tracy is being fostered by Ben's aunt and uncle, she is deeply upset. However, Tracy eventually decides not to be fostered and remains at the Dumping Ground.
In the third season, Camilla leaves for New York for a writing course, but returns after she hears that Tracy is hospitalised for appendicitis. Camilla writes a novel about a girl in care whose character is based upon Tracy. Camillla falls out with Tracy again after the latter reads the ending and discovers that her inspiring character does not get fostered. They eventually reconcile.
In 'The Movie of Me' (between series 3 and 4), Camilla decides to foster Tracy again. However, Tracy's birth mother turns up and initially seems willing to take Tracy back into her care. Tracy goes to find her mum after she leaves, having fallen out with careworkers. Camilla is distraught and as soon as she finds out where she is, she pursues her with Justine in tow. When they find her, Camilla realises that Tracy's mum does not care for her and eventually fosters Tracy.
In series 4, Camilla and Tracy are happily living together again. Tracy often returns to the Dumping Ground to visit her friends.
In series 5, Camilla and Tracy are on holiday in Egypt, where Camilla develops a relationship with Gary. When they return to England, Tracy angrily returns to the Dumping Ground when Gary moves in. Having shunned Camilla once again, they reconcile in and Tracy starts to bond with Gary. This is short lived Camilla reveals that she and Gary are getting married. On the day of their wedding, Tracy, having eventually been convinced that Camilla and Gary will not neglect her as a married couple, turns up at the wedding to hear them say "I do". Afterwards, Camilla and Gary tell Tracy that they are adopting her, before they leave on their honeymoon.
Sometime between the end of the original series and the start of Tracy Beaker Returns, Camilla and Gary divorce under unknown circumstances.
At the beginning of the first series ('Tracy Beaker Returns'), Tracy uses Camilla's credit card to publish her autobiography, and is arrested. When Camilla agrees that she will drop the charges on the condition that Tracy pays her back. To save money, Tracy finds employment as a trainee careworker at the Dumping Ground. In her first week, Tracy discovers that Camilla and Mike had kept a letter from her birth mother a secret for years. At this point, there is a continuity error when Tracy exclaims that she has "never seen" her birth mother, in contradiction to flashbacks in series 1 of the original series, and the feature-length movie.
Tracy and Camilla fall out, but as usual, they reconcile. In the series 1 finale, when Tracy announces that she has been offered a job in London and will be leaving, Mike asks Camilla to foster another child. Camilla disagrees, but Johnny overhears a later phone call saying that there is no point fostering again if Tracy is not going to move out, prompting him to decide to be interviewed by Tracy in another scheme to get himself and Tee fostered. When Camilla learns of this, she goes to the Dumping Ground to see Johnny and Tee to tell them that it is not definitive that she will foster again.
In the second season, Camilla fosters Lily Kettle after she falls off the roof of the Dumping Ground during a protest. In the final episode, Camilla travels to New York. Whilst she was initially supposed to go for a few weeks, she announces that she has been given an opportunity to stay for six months, and that she has accepted it.
