Amanda grew up as the daughter of Natalie and Trevor Hunter, but in reality, it was her crazy aunt, Janet Green, who actually gave birth to her. On the day that Natalie and Trevor were to be married, Janet threw her sister down a well, disguised herself as Nat and, without the groom's knowledge, stood in for the bride. The wedding night resulted in conception.
When the real Natalie was rescued, Janet was sent to prison, but escaped and kidnapped her sister. A pregnant Janet went into labor, and Natalie delivered the baby. Janet was captured and locked up again, and Natalie later died after she and Trevor took Amanda in to raise.
Amanda was kept in the dark about her parentage, but when Janet had surgery to reconstruct her looks, and returned to Pine Valley, the truth was eventually revealed. Despite Janet's mental deficiency, Amanda grew close to the woman who bore her, and eventually moved with her to Colorado to reunite with Trevor who had been cleared of false murder charges.
When Amanda returned, she enrolled in high school and reconnected with old friends. Some of her mother's old habits rubbed off, and Amanda was caught red-handed, trying to steal money from the Chandler safe. JR promised not to report the attempted theft if Amanda would help him break up Jamie Martin and Babe Carey. She lied to them, saying that JR had drugged her in an attempt to bed her, and Jamie insisted she move in with him and Babe. How convenient, being close to the very couple she needed to destroy. The whole plan backfired, and Amanda ended up being ousted and ignored by all three.
Amanda got a job a New Beginnings, working with Erica Cane and assistant, Josh, and subsequently started having blackouts. During lucid moments, she learned that residents of Pine Valley were being attacked and injured by an unknown assailant, and feared she might be the culprit. She soon discovered that it was her crazed mother, who had returned with a vendetta against the town. When a deadly bomb exploded during a Gala, killing, Ethan Cambias, among others, Amanda became sullen and withdrawn, unable to deal with the guilt wrought by her mother's actions.
Brooke English took Amanda in and helped her deal with her emotions. Before long, a stronger Amanda emerged, and she went to work at ConFusion, working with Jonathan Lavery, and helping to console him after his marriage with Lily ended. Now she's comforting him through the senseless death of his beloved sister, Erin.
All was calm for Amanda until Adam Chandler sprung Janet from jail and gave her baby Jenny. Amanda tried to believe the best in her mother but Adam used Janet's illness against Amanda and made her help him. Amanda finally figured everything out and saved Jenny. Then, she blackmailed Adam for $5 million to remain silent about his involvement in the kidnapping. Around this time, Amanda and JR began having an affair. One night, she made a sex tape - to get back at JR - and when the tape was the only thing that would clear his name in Zach's disappearance, she hid it. She eventually came clean; both JR and Babe were very angry.
Eventually Babe and Amanda became friends again. When Jake Martin returned to town, Amanda set her sights on him and began an affair. She also decided to use her own money to back Babe's product idea (Bella).

Phones are ringing off the hook at Fusion as Randi and Amanda try to do damage control. Kendall arrives. Amanda reports that Babe is on the way. Greenlee arrives and asks where Kendall was. She starts in about Ryan and him needing her; Aidan listens from the penthouse. Greenlee tells Kendall to stop because she isn't interested. Babe arrives so Kendall turns her anger toward her. Babe says she quits! She tells them to place the blame fully on her shoulders and admits she was plotting to take over Fusion. Kendall and Greenlee are shocked. Babe tells them not to blame Amanda, and encourages them to give Amanda a real shot. Kendall accepts Babe's resignation. "I'm going to miss all of you," she says and looks directly at Kendall. She drops another bomb - that she and JR are moving away. Amanda tells her not to go. Ryan calls and asks Greenlee if they can meet; she caves in. Aidan hears her but the phone starts cutting in and out so she takes off the earrings. Ryan says he is on the roof; she takes her other earring off and tells Kendall she has to do something and leaves. Babe and Kendall make peace and Kendall says Amanda is welcome to stay at Fusion as long as she learns her place! Kendall takes a call and says, "No! You can't do this!" She hangs up and calls for attention. The call was from the FDA and they are closing down the company until their investigation of Bella is over! The crew is shocked. "Go home," Kendall says and promises to keep everyone informed. She gathers her things. Amanda says they have to do something. Kendall says she is going for a drink. Jake arrives and Amanda tearfully says they shut the company down. "It's all gone. All my money, all my dreams," she says in tears. Jake hugs her and says she'll be okay because she is a smart woman. He kisses her. Aidan picks up his bug, hears the kissing noises and thinks it is Greenlee!
Greenlee comes back into the office and Amanda tells her about the shut down. She is stunned. Amanda and Jake leave. Greenlee puts her earrings back on as Ryan walks in. She tells him to go but he won't. Aidan listens in. "We need to talk - about us!" Ryan says.
Petey steps off the elevator to Fusion and is bombarded with questions from reporters. Amanda comes to his rescue but refuses to comment and tells the reporters to leave. Randi tells her she did the right thing. Petey sees the painting of the moon; Randi says it is for Emma. Amanda isn't sure what to do about the reporters and is desperate for Kendall or Greenlee to get there. Amanda shuts down the phones as Greenlee walks in. Petey pretends to be an answering machine when a call gets through. Greenlee tells Amanda about Kendall's suspicions and says they need a pre-emptive strike. Kendall walks in, stunned at the amount of media in the halls. She says she didn't make any progress with Adam and thinks they may be wrong because of the Colby connection. Petey listens closely. Kendall and Greenlee talk quietly; Kendall says she still thinks Adam is guilty but they have to be careful because of Petey. She says Erica is on the case. That doesn't make Greens feel better. Kendall asks what is really bugging her. Greenlee hears back from their lawyers who say there is nothing the company can do until the first lawsuit is filed. Kendall and Greenlee leave. Jake arrives and hugs Amanda. They turn on the television and watch Adam's press conference. Randi is shocked and so is Petey. Amanda grabs a bottle of Bella and tosses it at the wall. Jake tries to calm her. She says she has lost everything.
