Amanda Dillon is a fictional character from the American daytime television soap opera All My Children.

Stause's version of Amanda started out a scheming, seductive troublemaker, but later matured into a warmer, kinder person due to her relationship with Jake Martin.

Amanda decides to move back in May 2005 to attend school at Pine Valley University.

Janet comes to town when Amanda is hospitalized after being hit by JR, though Babe claims she was behind the wheel.

Janet kidnaps Babe and her son, Little Adam, while Amanda does her best to help JR, Jamie, Tad Martin, and Aidan Devane find them.

Later, Brooke English, Jamie's mother, opens her house to her in order to help her recover.

However, he is still in love with his ex-wife, Lily Montgomery, and Amanda realizes that she cannot be a casual partner anymore, breaking things off with him.

When Babe's life is threatened by the Satin Slayer, Amanda goes to her mother for help in figuring out who the killer is.

Amanda once again gets caught in Janet's insanity and tries to convince her mother to give Jenny back to her parents, Tad and Krystal Carey.

Babe dies in the tornado disaster that hits Pine Valley, which hurts Amanda further.

Jake is there for her to help fend off David, and the two of them eventually fall in love; they get married on June 11, 2009.

For months afterward, David makes her life miserable, forcing her to move in with him and Trevor, or he will take sole custody of him.

When it comes back negative, Amanda has a paternity test done and discovers Jake is Trevor's biological father.

Amanda kicks David out, and she, Jake, and Trevor get their lives back together, finally becoming the family they always dreamed of.

The stalker later turns out to be Janet, who breaks out of the mental institution, determined to be a part of her daughter and grandson's lives.

Horrified and guilt-ridden, Amanda calls INS back in an attempt to cancel her passport concern, but the damage is already done; a group of Homeland security agents arrive at the hospital to arrest Cara for passport fraud.

Several issues arise with Jake and Cara, when Griffin is arrested for murder, attacked in his cell, then disappears from the hospital during a false fire alarm.

Amanda finds out Jake lied about Griffin's condition to keep him in the hospital and out of jail, and is upset he is risking his job for his ex-wife.

Amanda becomes suspicious of Jake when he starts to pull away from her, then shows up late to Lucy Hubbard's christening.

She goes in for a test, which comes back negative, but Cara later tells her there's a chance she might have an STD, worrying Amanda.
