After Stuart's release, he became a well-loved advice-giver in Pine Valley and a popular character for fans of the show.

In celebration of Adam handing down his business to Scott, Stuart abandoned his trademark sweaters and slacks and donned a suit.

In a tragic twist of fate, a number of Pine Valley's residents, infuriated with Adam, arrived at the Chandler Mansion armed with handguns.

In honor of his memory, those who were in attendance sang "High Hopes", which was Stuart's favorite song and Scott shared a conversation he had with his father just following 9/11 about the power of love.

He appeared as an illusion to his twin brother, Adam, who, after collapsing from exhaustion at the dance competition, asked him if he had been shot too.

On October 22, 2009, Emma Lavery had a flashback and it is revealed that Adam shot Stuart (while he was in a drugged state, he was not aware of what had happened until much later).

On the November 28, 2012, episode of General Hospital, Skye Chandler, in Port Charles for Edward Quartermaine's funeral, mentions that she will be visiting Pine Valley for Stuart's art show.
