Amanda Vale is the ex-wife of Dan Baker. A professional actress, she arrived in the Bay with their son, Ryan, after a stint in Los Angeles.
Using her good looks and a sexy charm, Amanda is the ultimate attention-seeker and can coolly manipulate people to get what she wants. Amanda has a certain ability to size people up and then zero in on their weaknesses, telling them what they want to hear in order to exploit them.
Amanda's deep-seated desire for attention was the motivation for her becoming an actress. She met Dan when they were students and they soon married and fell pregnant with Ryan, just at the time her acting career was taking off. Amanda ultimately decided she wanted to go to Hollywood and took Ryan with her.
Amanda arrived in Summer Bay under the guise of creating the perfect life for her and Ryan, but it wasn’t not long before she started to cause trouble. She upset everyone in Summer Bay when she married Beth’s father, Graham. When her new husband died from a heart attack, Amanda couldn't wait to get her hands on his money.
