Previously, Scott was portrayed, most notably by Daniel Cosgrove from November 27, 1996 to July 28, 1998, and Forbes March from April 19, 1999 to September 14, 2000.

Fred was an intravenous drug user, and through the sharing of needles he contracted HIV, which resulted in his death from AIDS.

Scott becomes best friends with Jesse and Angie's son Frankie, and the Hubbards are Cindy's closest supporters when she develops AIDS herself.

Cindy was ostracized by many Pine Valley residents, including Skye Chandler (Robin Christopher), Enid Nelson (Natalie Ross), and a hate group that sets fire to the Hubbard home.

Cindy later died, but not before falling in love with and marrying Skye's uncle Stuart Chandler (David Canary), who adopts Scott.

Scott enrolled in Pine Valley High School in 1995 and developed a crush on his best friend Anita Santos, but she was madly in love with Bobby Warner.

Scott's smarts helped him to skip his senior year of high school and go straight to college.

That same year the Chandler family was being attacked by Lee Hawkins, who blamed Adam, Scott's uncle, for the death of his wife, Joy.

Adam had refused earlier to finance Scott's film production company as he had promised Stuart he would.

On December 27, Marissa visited Scott in prison to wish him a Merry Christmas and to help him get an early parole.

Greenlee got Scott a job as a data entry clerk at Pine Valley Hospital (as part of their agreement).
