Brief Character History
Amanda was conceived on what was thought to be Trevor and Natalie Hunter's wedding night. Instead, Janet Green, who was insanely jealous of her sister Natalie's relationship, posed as her sister. Janet made herself to look and sound like Natalie, threw her sister down a well, and took her place at Trevor's side. A non-suspecting Trevor made love with "Natalie" and Amanda was result. Later, the real Natalie was rescued and Janet was sent to prison for various crimes. It was there that she told Trevor the truth and that he was to be a father. Janet did make one more attempt to get Natalie and Trevor back. She broke out of prison, kidnapped Natalie, and proceeded to beat her sister up. Not before long, Janet's contractions began and Natalie helped Janet deliver Amanda. Then, Natalie and Trevor took the child in.
After Natalie's death, Janet was released from prison because she agreed to have an experimental reconstructive surgery. Janet wanted to be reunited with her daughter and Trevor, so she returned to Pine Valley as "Jane Cox" and almost got Trevor to marry her. Then she would be Amanda's stepmother. But Harold the dog, who never liked Janet Green, could tell that "Jane Cox" wasn't who she claimed to be. After this incident, Trevor and Janet went to court to decide custody of Amanda, which was eventually awarded to Trevor. Gradually, Amanda and Janet became friends and Amanda trusted and liked Janet. She became very close to Janet. Later, Amanda found a video tape which had Janet on it explaining the happenings of her past. Amanda saw this tape and she wanted to check out the scene of Janet's crime: the well at Wildwind. When Amanda was snooping around the well, she accidentally fell in, and like Natalie, she was trapped. When Amanda was noticed missing, Jaime Martin, Amanda's good friend, told Janet where Amanda was and what had happened and Janet rescued her daughter.
Trevor eventually told Amanda the truth about her mother. After the initial shock of the news, Trevor and Janet grew closer and Trevor wouldn't let Janet walk away from her daughter. Later, after a little help from Amanda, Trevor and Janet got married. Amanda feels she is very lucky to finally have her two loving parents living with her. What she doesn't realize is how far her mother would go to keep her safe. In 1997, Trevor finally, gently informed Amanda that her mother is Janet. Amanda's tears made Janet think that she had made a mistake, pushing so hard to be a part of her daughter's life. But Trevor wouldn't let her walk away. For better or worse, Janet is Amanda's mother, and now more than ever, the girl is going to need her. In May 2000, Amanda and Janet relocated to Colorado to be reunited with Trevor, who had been on the run after being falsely accused of murder.
In 2005, Amanda returned to town to attend school and reconnect with childhood friends JR Chandler and Jamie Martin. JR caught her stealing from his safe, and threatened to turn her into the authorities. Amanda offered to have sex with JR in exchange for him forgiving her, but JR bested her: He'd not pursue charges against her if she broke up Jamie and his fiancée Babe Carey. Amanda agreed, and befriended Babe in an effort to split her and Jamie. Amanda lied to Jamie and Babe that JR drugged her in an effort to get her into bed, prompting a gallant Jamie to demand that Amanda move in with them. Amanda agreed, secretly thrilled that she'd be in closer proximity to the couple she's sworn to destroy.
J.R., Jamie and Babe all eventually turned on Amanda, although it took Jamie longer than the others. Unfortunately for Amanda, Babe informed Jamie that she had planned to drug him and marry him to get her hands on the Wallingford money. Jamie washed his hands of her, but it didn't last long. He was soon back in her life, although she had no idea that Jamie was trying to get the goods on her. She got a new job working for Josh and Erica at New Beginnings, but then she began experiencing blackouts. When horrible things started happening to the residents of Pine Valley during her blackouts, Amanda began to worry that she was the one hurting people.
It wasn't long before the truth came out that it was Amanda's mother, Janet, back in town and off her medication that had been doing all the horrible things to the citizens of Pine Valley. Learning that her mother was responsible for the explosion at the Mardi Gras ball that had killed a number of people (including Zach Slater's son, Ethan Cambias) and then finding out that she had also been responsible for the death of her father, Trevor, was the last straw. Amanda was inconsolable for a time, staying with Brooke English, who was helping her handle what her mother had done. Before long, Amanda was slowly returning to her old self, and began to spend time hanging out with Jonathan and Lily, whom she helped to hide their relationship from her father, Jack, and Del Henry.
Amanda was impressed with Jonathan's ability to love selflessly, and started to have feelings for Jonathan. After Lily proved unable to forgive Jonathan for his deception, Amanda seduced Jonathan, assuring him that all she wanted was a "friends with benefits" relationship. Amanda revealed to Del that she'd fallen for Jonathan, and Jon, who'd overheard, ended their no-strings relationship for fear of hurting Amanda. Amanda and Jonathan remained friends and Amanda was the one who helped Jonathan through the weeks following Erin's death.
Adam Chandler enlisted Janet's help in his scheme to get revenge on Krystal. Janet was the one who cared for baby Jenny after Adam kidnapped the infant. When Amanda found the toy warehouse where her mother was holed away with the baby, Janet knocked Amanda out. Amanda awoke to find herself alone with an ill baby Jenny, but fortunately help soon arrived.
Amanda was outraged when it became apparent that Adam Chandler was going to get away with his role in the kidnapping, while a mentally ill Janet was being held accountable. Amanda was soon duped by JR, who she'd seduced after initially rejecting him. JR asked her out for a night on the town only so that she could be kidnapped along with him as part of JR's revenge against Adam. Amanda was terrified at first, but soon realized that JR was behind the kidnapping. Furious at first, Amanda soon realized that she could use JR as he'd used her - and demanded payment for her silence.
