An observant GH fan tweeted that Lipton’s name was not on the credit scroll indicating he is no longer on contract. Now rumors are spreading like wildfire about a possible departure as well as a possible reason for a departure.
Keep in mind that at this time all of this is speculation and neither the show nor the actor have made an official comment.
General Hospital spoilers – Is William Lipton Off Contract?
Tweets flew fast and furious speculating as to what is going on. Perhaps the actor is leaving to go to college, as is his character Cam Webber?
In that case fans would expect to see him every now and then under normal circumstances, maybe for the holidays, on birthdays, etc.

GH spoilers – Why Is William Lipton’s Name Missing From The Credits?
Then again the character could be recast, for whatever reason. Sometimes TPTB use the line that they want to take the character in a “different direction” thus justifying a sudden casting change.
Then again, it’s not like Cam is not in danger—he is. He is in danger from his stepfather Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth). Ironically, Howarth’s status with the show is also trending.

Franco’s tumor seems to have now transformed him back into a psycho killer as fans saw him take a crow bar to Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) head on a spectacular Friday Cliffhanger. There are rumblings that Franco is about to meet his maker, and in fact he prearranged a deal with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to whack him if he starts to show signs of going over the edge. Conking Peter in a stairwell probably qualifies.

But earlier Franco nearly attacked Cam at home. It was a close call, and just a blip, but could Cam’s life truly be in danger at this time?
We shudder to think of Cam meeting an unfortunate end. It seems even harder to fathom that somehow Franco would harm Cam. But until we get official word on what is going on all we can do is speculate.
We want to know what you think of this latest development regarding William Lipton. Tell us GH fans, is he leaving the show for good?
Be sure to catch up on everything happening with GH right now. Come back here often for General Hospital spoilers, news, and updates.
They are taking away al of our favorites, very few of them left. Soon there will be no reason to watch. They never did dwell on Franco's art therapy. There were so many stories they could have done about how Franco helped those in need with his therapy. Guess the writers don't have much imagination. Just the same old, same old. Kill off the favorites to what save money? How much money are they going to make when fans stop watching?
GH i told you to stop this bullshit always pick on the happy people leave them be for a while writers suck and told you I’m not going to let that happen not now I knew these writers would do some shit like this mess with people who are happy together you destroy one family why you want to destroy another who are happy make no damn sense these need to stop I don’t care what fans want I want my story my story it need to be done with it stop messing with the happy people fans didn’t want go there in the first leave my people the hell alone writers just bc you destroy family doesn’t mean you have to destroy my stop I will not let you they better not go there I want my story and damn it I’m going to get it if I have to get every single one these writers fired o I going to believe I’m keeping rooting for my story and ppl
It’s such BS if you take another great young actor off the show!!! Please don’t!
Best actor who has ever been on the show. Just think how his talent will grow over the years! I would stop watching, I hate the stupid jail story, and they broke up Anna and Finn. I love Cameron Mathison, though, and he has been cast on GH. Will give him a chance to save the show. Whatever William Lipton chooses to do, I will always be a fan. His musical talent is phenomenal!
He overacts.
