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 When a deadly bomb exploded during a Gala, killing, Ethan Cambias, among others, Amanda became sullen and withdrawn, unable to deal with the guilt wrought by her mother's actions.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). Amanda lost all of her money in when it was found out that Bella was tainted; then, in the tornadoes, Babe was killed. Amanda floundered. She overheard JR say it was her fault that Babe was dead. Crushed, Amanda became easy prey for David Hayward.
They had a one night stand and then David convinced her to work with him against the Chandlers. He promised her a huge sum of money to con JR and Adam; Amanda went along with the plan.
Amanda was pregnant with David's baby and he had threatened to steal the child when it was born. With the help of Jake Martin she devised a plan to have the baby in the Bahamas and give it up for adoption. Unbeknownst to her, Jake planned to give the baby to Liza. Currently, Amanda and Jake are married, and Liza has received the baby - but Amanda is starting to ask questions!

Jake stops David in the hospital and tells him that Amanda hasn't returned his calls. David says she's just resting in case she's pregnant. Jake wonders how she could be pregnant when the doctor told him she didn't perform the insemination. David admits that he informed the doctor her services were no longer needed. Jake demands to know why. David says Dr. Hines didn't have a great track record. Jake is skeptical that David suddenly switched doctors, and is upset that he wasn't told. David says his paranoia is getting tiresome. Just then, Amanda appears. Jake takes her aside and she apologizes for not calling him back - she needed to sort things out. Jake says she can tell him anything - why did she hide that they blew off the fertility doctor? Amanda asks what the big deal is about switching doctors? Jake says it's the way they're both acting - and he's terrified of what the reason might be. He asks, "There was an insemination, right?" Amanda says of course, but Jake insists something is wrong. Amanda blurts, "I did what I needed to do!" Jake asks what that means. Amanda says he's making this harder for her and stalks off!
Amanda searches out David in the hospital and rants about Jake questioning her and what a mess it all is. David reaches out to comfort her, and she tells him not to touch her ever again! Jake appears and decks David!
In a bubble bath at Wildwind, Amanda flashes back to having sex with David in the car. She gets a text from Jake saying he's on his way over. She sobs, and gets out to go downstairs. When Jake arrives, she tells him she would like some time alone - she's just trying to put this whole thing behind her. Jake moves toward her, but she asks him not to touch her. Jake is puzzled. She admits that she's acting like she was raped, saying David used her body to fill with a baby. She assures him that he and Trevor are the light at the end of the tunnel. Jake still can't understand why he can't hug her - he asks if there's something she's not telling him.
David comes home to find Amanda crying to Jake. Jake lashes out, saying what David forcing her to conceive a baby has affected her. David says it was all mutual, but maybe he has gone too far with all of his rules. He says if the pregnancy is going to take hold, Amanda should relax and be happy - he tells Amanda to go to Jake's house for a few days. Jake is ready to pack her up, but Amanda says she can't go! She explains that she can't bounce back and forth. Jake tightly says he'll stand by her, but it seems funny that he has to do that by leaving. Once Jake leaves, Amanda smacks David across the face! David is shocked, and they argue. Amanda lets him know that she feels dirty. He says he never wanted that, but she says not only can she not live with Jake - she has to figure out how to live with herself!
