Brief Character History
Amber arrived in Los Angeles in 1997. After having previously worked with Sheila at a café/restaurant in Death Valley, Amber convinced Sheila to help her apply for the position as babysitter to James Warick's daughter Mary/Margaret's. In over her head, Amber agreed to secretly allow Sheila visits with "Mary" at the Warwick house. Amber soon sided with James and Maggie agreeing that Sheila was unstable and obsessed. Sheila left Stephanie Forrester on the verge of death before leaving LA as a fugitive on the run. Despite gratitude from family members to Amber for helping save Stephanie's life, it was not enough to make headway with Eric and Brooke.
Amber began working for Brooke Logan as her children Rick and Bridget's babysitter. Amber was initially a little amused by Rick's childish crush on her, but soon began to develop feelings for him. When Rick ended up in the hospital after an accident in a drag race with C.J., Amber felt guilty because it was her idea and donated one of her own kidneys to save him. The two got closer, then one night, Amber went out with a high-school chum, Raymond. She woke up the next morning knowing only that she had passed out drunk the night before. It was weeks before Raymond told her that after she passed out, they had sex. Since she had slept with Rick around the same time, when she learned she was pregnant, she chose to believe it was Rick's child.
Amber left L.A. and went to see her mother Tawny in Death Valley, wanting to give birth away from L.A. just in case the child belonged to Raymond, who was black. Unfortunately, there was never any opportunity to test the baby, who was white and stillborn, to learn who the father was - although it's always been assuemd it was Rick's. Amber was devastated by the death of her child, but when Tawny learned that Amber's cousin Becky had given birth that same night to a child that she did not want, she convinced her heartbroken daughter to take Becky's baby back to L.A. as her own. It wasn't long before Amber loved that child as deeply as any mother loves her own. Brooke eventually learned about the night that Raymond and Amber were together, and put the spin on it that Amber's involvement was consensual. Rick agreed to stay with Amber regardless.
Becky visited Amber in L.A. voicing regret over giving up her baby. Amber was uncomfortable with Becky's attachment toward Little Eric and helped organize a job for Becky at Forrester International in Paris. Becky soon found out that Little Eric was the baby she had put up for adoption, but Amber convinced her to keep quiet, and Becky agreed. Kimberly and Rick continued to share unresolved feelings. In an effort to undermine Amber, Kimberly uncovered the truth about Little Eric's true identity. Rick and the rest of the Forresters were horrified at the news that the real Eric Forrester III was dead and buried in the middle of the desert.
CJ and Becky began dating. Amber discovered that Becky was dying, so everyone kept her illness a secret from her until their wedding day. Becky died peacefully bringing together the Forrester and Spectra family. CJ got temporary custody of Little Eric and moved in with Amber. Bringing home Ash who tried to pick her up while working at Café Russe, Sam, a jealous groupie, sets Amber and CJ up for possession of drugs. The Forresters were concerned for Little Eric's well-being. CJ and Amber soon developed feelings for one another and planned to marry. Rick stopped their wedding by tracking down Eric's biological father, Deacon Sharpe. Rick implored Amber to leave CJ so he could give her the life she has always dreamed of. Not having completely gotten over Rick, Amber broke CJ's heart and went to Rick.
The Spectras and Forresters started a bidding war for Little Eric. Using Little Eric as leverage, Deacon took the child to live with him and Carmen at his apartment above his club, The Lair. Deacon's attraction for Amber soon developed into much deeper feelings of affection. Carmen became suspicious of Deacon's motives of not accepting the $1million offer for Little Eric and Amber's constant visits. Carmen's jealousy intensified one night when she took baby Eric to the rooftop of Deacon's building. Amber confronted Carmen who hesitantly returned Eric to Deacon. The struggle resulted in Carmen accidentally falling to her death.
Amber asked Deacon to sign papers releasing her from the four month agreement but instead allowing visitation to Little Eric. He signs. Amber and Rick's wedding day arrives. As the ceremony begins and the two are about to exchange vows, Eric stands up and asks the minister to stop as he approaches Deacon and demands he leave immediately. Eric and Brooke are mortified when Bridget announces that Deacon is her date! The guests are asked to leave. Deacon and Amber go to the den to talk while the rest of the Forresters try to make Bridget see Deacon's true intentions. When Rick, Eric and Brooke enter the den, Deacon forces them to choose between Amber and Bridget stating he WILL be leaving with one of them. Rick and Amber get married.
To get revenge Deacon started dating Rick's sister Bridget and eventually married her in a quick Las Vegas ceremony! Deacon tried to make a deal with the Forresters that he would give Bridget back, if Amber and Little Eric were given back to him. The Forrester's refused and Bridget and Deacon stayed married. Deacon continued to flirt with Amber, until Bridget found out the real reason Deacon married her and got into a car crash. Deacon vowed to stand by his wife and Amber stayed with Rick. Soon after, Amber became pregnant with her and Rick's second child. There were problems early in the pregnancy, but they faded away. Amber later started designing for Forrester Creations and became a fashion success, but she passed out in pain at her first fashion show. Amber was rushed to the hospital, but lost the baby due to complications.
Amber could not stand the pain of losing another child and turned to pills to ease the pain. She became addicted to them and after her doctor refused to prescribe anymore of them to her, she went to a drug dealer named Ziggy to get them. When Amber realized how low she had sunk, she went to her sister in law, Taylor for help. Taylor got Amber into a rehab center and Rick supported her the whole time. After coming home, the Forresters through a beach party. At the beach party, a guy named Lance drugged Amber and took her back to his place (Lance was paid by Sheila Carter to do so). The next morning, Lance told Amber that she had gotten drunk, but they had only fooled around, not slept together. Amber went home and told Rick that she woke up in bed with a guy and could not remember anything else. Rick was furious to hear what Amber had done and Amber then moved in with Taylor. Amber and Taylor believed that she had been drugged by Lance but could not figure out why. Amber questioned Lance many times, but Sheila had him killed before he could tell her what really happened that night.
It wasn't long before Amber figured out what was going on, and her former friend Sheila kidnapped her, determined to install her own daughter as Rick's love interest and Little Eric's mother. In a final battle, Taylor was left dead, and Amber and everyone else grieved for her. Rick and Amber were able to get past what happened and reunite, but Deacon's presence continued to cause problems in their life, especially when it was proven that Rick and Amber had no legal right to Little Eric. Deacon eventually won custody of Little Eric. Amber kidnapped him and went on the run, which was the final straw for Rick...he walked out on her. After Macy nearly died at Oscar Marone's club, Amber offered to look after Little Eric for Deacon, and knowing how much his son loved her, she agreed.
Once Deacon was able to look after his son again, Amber was again out of their lives, and with Rick having turned his back on her, she began working on Oscar Marone to get a job with him, but it never went anywhere. When she nearly died in a housefire, she temporarily moved in with firefighter Hector Ramirez, his daughter Caitlin, and adopted son Jimmy, but it wasn't long before she was back on her feet again and living in Taylor's old beach house. She tried once again to patch things up with Rick, but he was in love with Caitlin. When Thomas found Caitlin, whom he had been seeing, kissing Rick, he ended up at the beach house, where Amber extended an olive branch of friendship. Amber tried to fight her attraction to Thomas, but once the Forresters turned their backs on her and she was rendered homeless, she stopped fighting and she and Thomas became lovers. She reluctantly left town after Ridge filed a restraining order against her, returning after Thorne offered her a job at Spectra. She moved into the Forrester guesthouse and tried to have a genuine relationship with Thomas, but when that crashed and burned, she blamed Ridge.
Desperate to prove that Ridge wasn't such a great guy in an attempt to get Thomas back, Amber set Ridge and Bridget up to end up in an abandoned mine together on a skiing trip to Big Bear. Her plan backfired big time when the two of them almost died, and Thomas wanted nothing more to do with her. She left Los Angeles for Italy to try to put her life back together, and caught Ridge in what she believed was a delicate position with another woman, but in fact, an amnesiac Ridge had been more or less kidnapped by a mentally unstable Morgan DeWitt. She helped get him home, but it didn't improve her standing with the Forrester family. After swearing to Stephanie that she would make herself a better person, Amber supposely left town.
But it was revealed on the CBS website L.A. Diaries, that Amber and Alison Stewart worked together as waitresses in a skeevy bar still in LA. Ali had just broken up with a scumbag boyfriend with a drug addiction and was broke. The "girls" hit it off and became room mates in Amber's apt. Amber was a habitual shoplifter - brought home wine and chips under her jacket for them to eat. Amber was into cyber sex, describing her turn on's and whatnot to men via IM-ing. One night she got a brilliant idea: she and Ali should get a webcam and get their own porn site going. Amber's body but not her face was frequently seen in front of the webcam. Ali was too shy to join in, but eventually did and accidentally showed her face. Some fan of hers started stalking her. After much histrionics, both girls decided they must leave LA. Ali went to Nevada and Amber to GC.
Amber arrived in Genoa City, just in time for the opening of Indigo, the new Jazz Club owned by Neil Winters. The booked band did not show up due to the murdered body of Carmen Mesta recently being found behind the club, so Amber filled in and impressed everyone with her singing. The Club was fully booked, but Neil said he would keep her number as a fill-in when needed. Running into Lauren Fenmore, whom she knew from LA, Amber wrangled a job as a salesclerk at the Jabot Boutique. Amber spends a lot of time hanging out at Crimson Lights Coffee House, keeping her ear to the ground for a hot man or a good opportunity. Spotting Professor Adrian Korbel, she decided to audit his class and ended up in his bed. It was all the better that she got to needle Colleen Carlton who had a crush on her professor.
Amber got involved in the life of the richest woman in Genoa City, Katherine Chancellor, when she got stuck at her mansion after delivering a gown during an ice storm. While there she was witness to a psychic reading which turned into a séance when Katherine's dead grandson Phillip spoke to them. Amber deciphered the clues he gave them by searching on the Internet for a missing child. Unknown to Amber he was the real Phillip Chancellor, victim of a baby switch by Kay and a woman named Violet Montgomery. Amber found Cane whose adopted mother was named Violet. He was searching for his mother and came to Genoa City from Australia on her lead. A DNA test later proved him to be the real Phillip Chancellor, son of Jill. Violet died while he was still a baby. Her brother Langley took the baby home to Australia and raised him as his own, naming him Ethan "Cane" Ashby. Phillips's body was exhumed and found not to be Jill's biological son. It is unknown who Phillip really belonged to. Amber and Cane got cozy, and after she discovered the possible link to the Chancellor millions, she took him to Vegas to get married supposedly to keep him from being deported back to Australia. At the last minute Cane decided against the marriage, so Amber drugged him and got her friend Ali to take his place in disguise, telling him he was too drunk to remember being married the next morning.
Amber continued to trick her way into Cane's heart and impending fortune. She staged power outages in their apartment and a burglary at the Chancellor Estate which eventually led Katherine to ask Amber and Cane to move into the estate. Kay asked Cane to take a position with Chancellor Industries as Clear Springs Property Manager, but he refused, saying that he was not qualified and not wanting a hand-out. But he was talked into taking it temporarily until Kay could get a permanent person. Just as we began to trust Cane that his claim was legitimate, we overheard a phone conversation between him and his uncle Langley in Australia inferring that he is conning them.
Amber made friends with Daniel and they spend a lot of time together helping each other with their various deceptions. Amber showed him the Website where her online porn clips were featured, Daniel then joined the site and got hooked on Internet porn. Porn is taking over his life resulting in bad grades, getting caught looking at porn at work, getting phished which cleaned out his bank account, being arrested as underage and solicitation at a strip club, and the erosion of his marriage to Lily due to his continual lying about it all. Lily made him see a therapist but he is lying about his progress as well. Chats with Neil, Jack, Devon, Phyllis, his therapist and even Kevin do not seem to be getting through to him as he denies and lies. Lily has tossed him out and Devon punched him out. Lily and Daniel's marriage has since been annulled due to the fact that they were underage when they married, using a falsified letter of consent from Malcolm.
An old boyfriend from Amber's shady past named "Plum" came to town trying to blackmail her with some of her porn tapes. He was staying at Kevin's with him and Daniel until he was found dead of a broken neck in his locked room with a bag filled with money. Although it appeared that he may have fallen from a chair while getting the bag from above, Amber, Daniel and Kevin decided to dump the body and bury the money at the Chancellor estate. Although they swore each other to secrecy and that they would not touch the money, when Amber needed money for a new demo tape for her singing career, she dug up the bag and took some of it, but was seen by an unknown person re-burying the rest. A Treasury Agent named Bonachek traced the money to the trio, and someone named Carson, claiming to be an old Army buddy of Plum's, was asking around GC for him. Cane got suspicious and began looking into Amber's background. Carson was happy to help and exposed Amber's past. Then Cane discovered that he and Amber were not legally married, confronted her and made her sign an acknowledgement that she tricked him into marriage to make it void. Cane threw her out, and she went to live in Kevin's spare bedroom. Then Amber got kidnapped and locked in a closet. She escaped into the arms of Carson, Bonachek arrived, followed by Daniel and the cops. The trio was arrested, but were to get off with probation if each paid back the stolen money. Phyllis was to cover Daniel's share, and Gloria Kevin and Amber's.
Amber decided to dig up the money again and arranged an elaborate ruse to be able to keep it following Ji Min's death. She rented his former room at the Athletic Club and set fire to smolder some of the money and shredded bills from the mint in the air shaft to make everyone think it had burned up. Michael got them a deal on the other charges for two years probation and 90 hours of community service. Time passed and Amber began spending more of the stolen money. Daniel and Amber got drunk together one night and ended up turning their friendship into an affair. Things were very uncomfortable between them afterward, plus Amber looked very suspicious spending more of the stolen money to rent Phyllis's luxury penthouse for herself. Daniel helped her move in, and they christened her new apartment by making love. Afterward he found her satchel containing the money, Amber confessed and Daniel forgave her. Daniel told Kevin, who made them burn the money, but Daniel video taped it to prove to Kevin it was done. Don't you know that will haunt them later! Amber begged her way into a job as receptionist at Restless Style Online/Magazine, where Daniel is a photographer's assistant.
Due to a mini-stroke, Katherine decided was time to put her house in order. She took a liking to Amber, seeing a lot of herself in her, and hired her to assist in writing her memoires, and also investing in Amber's designer fashion line. .
Amber and Daniel officially became "boyfriend & girlfriend", and Daniel moved in with her. Just as Daniel and Amber declared their love, and he appeared to be discovering a hidden talent for drawing and caricature, possibly leading to a new career, Danny made a surprise visit and asked him to go on the road as tour photographer for 6 months. Both Amber and Phyllis are mourning his departure, but he promised to remain true and return.
The first edition of the magazine/webzine did not do as well as expected, so the second had a hipper cover featuring hot singer Katy Perry. And Adrian Korbel was hired by Restless Style to do an article on Sabrina and the Newman Gallery for the 3rd one, to which Victor and she approved. But Adrian stumbled upon a rumor that Sabrina had wrangled an exhibition for her lover when she was Art Curator at the Pompidou Museum in Paris which could shed new light on the latest Mrs. Victor Newman. Sharon came up with another idea for the 3rd webzine edition which would feature an animated avatar guide in the form of "Restless Amber" character based on Amber Moore. Phyllis was skeptical about the idea, the budget, and the flakiness of Amber, but Jack and Nick supported it. Meanwhile Amber got a chance to go to Europe to see Daniel, but has to stay to work on creating "Restless Amber".
