Simon Camden

Simon Camden (b. 1986) is a fictional character from the hit WB/CW drama 7th Heaven. He is portrayed by David Gallagher. He is originally from the fictional town of Glen Oak, California.

Early Life

Simon is the fourth child of Rev. Eric Camden and Annie Camden. While not in college, he attends Glen Oak Community Church, of which his father is the pastor. In the early part of his childhood, he was well known to his siblings as "The Bank of Simon" because he always seemed to have money. He used to also be very fascinated with The Tick.

He was the one who had originally wanted to get the family dog, Happy; however, in a later episode, a child saw Happy on TV and wanted her back. At the resolution of that show, the Camdens still got to keep her.

Simon had 3 serious girlfriends, Deena, Cecilia, and Rose. He has slept with Sandy and many other women. He did not sleep with Rose initially, because he made a promise with God (when he was afraid that he might have gotten himself an STD) not to sleep with anyone else until marriage. However, Rose and Simon lived together after their engagement and Rose later gave a hint that she might be pregnant, so they probably had a sexual relationship by then. It was a rough transition for Simon into high school even though his older sister Lucy helped him meet new people. At the beginning of the summer before his senior year, Simon kills Paul Smith, a young Glen Oak boy, in an automobile accident. The death is ruled accidental and Simon is not brought up on criminal charges. He goes on a trip to the beach with his family during the same summer, but he cannot escape the pain that he feels and he blames himself for Paul's death. Fearing that the boy's brother would retaliate, Simon left school early and started college a year early.

While there, he broke the family tradition of not having sex before marriage. After a scare involving the impregnation of a girl (it was later revealed that she only made the claim so Simon would stay with her) he met Rose. Rose loved Simon very much, though Simon was unsure whether or not he loved her the same. They got engaged and planned a wedding. After a long engagement, they decided to not get married during the wedding because neither was ready for marriage yet and Rose still had feelings for an ex-boyfriend.
