Bold and the Beautiful
Introduction, Sheila Carter, and Rick Forrester
After Sheila hands her baby, Mary, over to the Warwicks, she relocates to Death Valley, where she meets Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz). Anxious to see her daughter, Sheila suggests that Amber babysit for James and Maggie, so that she can secretly visit Mary in LA. Amber is hired and keeps her alliance with Sheila secret for some time, but when Sheila threatens her, she exposes herself to James and Maggie. Sheila eventually takes matters into her own hands and takes Mary back.
Amber arrived in Los Angeles in 1997 as a babysitter and older influence for teenagers Rick Forrester and his sister Bridget Forrester, the children of Brooke Logan and Eric Forrester. Amber dreamed about getting away from Furnace Creek a town that mainly housed trailer parks and she felt the gig she got to look after two rich snotty teenagers was a god send. Amber watched over Rick who at the time was sixteen years of age compared to Amber's twenty years of age and Bridget who was fifteen years of age. Amber spoke to Clarke Garrison after meeting him at a shop joking that she needed money in her life and he jokes and says well you know the best way to get that is to marry a rich guy. Amber thought to herself and then started to slowly flirt with Rick and show a little skin to pique his interest. So then in the Fall of 1997, Amber led an infatuated Rick upstairs and had sex with him while she was supposed to be babysitting him unknown to Brooke as she returned home. They kept it a secret and grinned at each other and snickered as she sat at the table to have dinner with Brooke and Eric on one occasion. During her time in Los Angeles, Amber encountered bad dealings with Sheila Carter. After Amber became pregnant, she and Rick decided to keep the baby.
Who's the Daddy? and Rivalry with Kimberly Fairchild
It was unclear as to whether the father was Rick or Raymond King, a black singer and musician (played by Usher Raymond) she had dated and had sex with while working as a waitress and singer at a club. Amber married Rick even though she didn't know if he was the father. She feared the Forresters' reaction if she gave birth to a biracial baby. She secretly delivered Rick's stillborn son at her mother's home and buried him in the desert. When the midwife stopped by with the unwanted newborn son of Amber's cousin, Becky, Tawny convinced her and Amber that Amber should raise him as her own.
Kimberly a chemistry major like Brooke and very beautiful like Rick's mother. She was also a virgin. She developed a crush on Rick and he developed one on her, after Brooke kicked Amber out of her son's life. However, Amber started to come around to bait Brooke that she was pregnant with Rick's baby which Brooke didn't believe. She told her it's probably another guy's child and she refused to let her ruin her teenage son's life and she should be arrested for rape. Amber therefore, decided to go to Rick and tell him that the baby was his. Rick was devastated and fearful telling his mom he didn't know what to do. Should he marry her? Brooke tells him no. She just wanted a meal ticket. Rick listens to his mother but relays to her he didn't want to be like Ridge going from woman to woman and not taking care of his responsibility like he did to Brooke time and time again and he was going to be a man and marry her. Brooke tried to get him to see that the situation wasn't the same. Amber plotted to get with him from the beginning because of his name Forrester. He tells her regardless of whether it's true or not he's going to be a father to his child. She demands that he gets a paternity test after the child is born and he says okay. He will. She cries and hugs him as he tells Amber he'll marry her for the sake of their child to Amber's delight.
Kimberly, tells Rick that Amber is lying. And if she isn't lying about the pregnancy it's some other guy's child. Rick tells her his mind is made up. Kimberly, goes to confront Amber and Kimberly pushes her telling her to admit it's another man's child. Amber lies and tells her, "No, it's Rick. And you're just angry because he wants me not you." And Kimberly, shook her head and said, "He's only marrying you for the baby and you know it." And that's because that's the kind of man Rick is, he's an honourable man. You don't deserve him." Amber is offended and says, "Oh, and you do!"
Kimberly, demands to know what she really did with the dead child after talking to Becky, Amber's cousin. And she bullies her to tell her and Amber's mother pulls a gun on her and tells her to leave her daughter alone or she'll shoot her. On other occasions Amber and Kimberly got into several fist fights over Rick.
The truth is revealed and Deacon Sharpe
Becky decides to reclaim the baby she gave up for adoption and discovers the truth. She keeps quiet in exchange for a job with Forrester and photos of the baby. Kimberly outs Amber and Rick leaves her briefly. After Becky's death from cancer, Rick and Amber reconcile to raise little Eric. Rick tells Kimberly who tells he wants him to have the stable family that Rick didn't. Amber loses custody and found the biological father of Little Eric Jr. Deacon Sharpe to help. Deacon became infatuated with Amber and told her no. Not unless she divorces Rick and becomes his wife. Amber had just met him and called him crazy telling him she loved her husband and just wanted Little Eric Jr. Deacon attempted to seduce Amber to no avail by massaging her without her knowing it and kissing on her neck on occasion. However, the two never slept together.
Amber took the child away from Deacon after he decided to reclaim the child after she rejected his advances and met Bridgett Forrester a rebellious yet sweet daughter of Brooke Logan's. He knew her brother was Rick Forrester after he had a detective to do a background check on the family and joked with her and seduced her and within two to three days he married her. He tells Brooke and Eric that if they want him to divorce their daughter then they need to convince Amber to divorce Rick and marry him. Brooke tells him, she'd gladly do so but her son is the one who chose Amber. And she can't make him do something he isn't willing to do. Amber refuses to leave Rick and Deacon becomes enmeshed instead in a triangle that develops between Bridget Forrester and her mother Brooke Logan.
Sheila's daughter, Erica Lovejoy
Sheila returns to L.A. four years later to find her now-teenage daughter Mary (whom she had renamed Erica Lovejoy). Erica (Courtnee Draper), who is completely unaware of her mother's past or her own real name, has traveled to L.A. to meet her idol - Amber Forrester. She soon develops a crush on Amber's husband, Rick (then played by Justin Torkildsen), although she never intends to act on her feelings. Sheila convinces Erica to seduce Rick, saying that a Forrester man would never abandon the woman carrying his child. She then pays off a man named Lance to drug Amber and take her to bed. Amber tracks Lance down and begins to question him. When a nervous Lance threatens to tell Amber everything, Sheila kills him by releasing a tank of bees into his apartment.
Amber becomes increasingly suspicious and confronts Erica in Rick's office. During a struggle, Erica falls and hits her head on a desk, making Amber look guilty of pushing her. At the hospital, a disguised Sheila confronts Amber, angrily warning her to stay away from her daughter. Amber then decides to look for clues at Erica's apartment, but is impeded when Sheila throws a pot at the window and the police arrive, arresting Amber and causing the Forresters to distrust her further. Meanwhile, while browsing through a photo album of Eric's, Erica is startled to find a picture of her mother. She then learns that Sheila was formerly married to Eric, and that her mother wants her to live the life she had always dreamed of with Rick. Sheila pushes Erica to have sex with Rick, so that she can live vicariously as a Forrester through her daughter.
As a reluctant Erica is about to carry out her mother's plan, Rick's brother Ridge bursts in and exposes Erica's true identity. Rick kicks Erica out, but not before Sheila kidnaps Amber, who is stunned to learn that Erica is really Mary Warwick. Sheila litters the crime scene with drugs and tequila, then drags Amber off to her apartment. Massimo Marone (Joseph Mascolo) - who had been romantically involved with Sheila for a short time - gets a call from Sheila, and Stephanie recognizes her voice. The two track Sheila and Amber down. Sheila then flees and holds Eric and Taylor Hayes Forrester (Hunter Tylo) hostage at the mansion. But when Brooke walks into the room, a struggle ensues in which Taylor and Brooke are shot. Brooke survives her wounds, whereas Taylor succumbs. Sheila is arrested and subsequently confronted by her daughter, who condemns Sheila's actions and wants nothing to do with her. Sheila is jailed for her crimes but soon escapes with the help of a sympathetic warden named Sugar (Robin Mattson).
Breakup with Rick and Relationship with Thomas Forrester
The courts question Amber's sanity and her ability to care for little Eric and she looses it when they take the baby away from her at a wedding. She fights and hits the social worker and Rick tells her "I'm done." And he leaves her. They're marriage is dissolved after he looses little Eric and Amber and Deacon decide to share custody but not a bed.
Amber becomes depressed and starts dating another sixteen year old kid. Thomas Forrester. Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan who are married now are outraged. Ridge tries to talk some sense into his son to no avail telling him that's her pattern to seduce sixteen year old kids. Brooke doesn't go along with it but tells Ridge he's his own person. You can't always control your children. Ridge's hatred for Amber intensifies during this time.
Infatuation with Ridge Forrester and Leaving L.A.
Ridge had gone missing causing Brooke to call the police. Amber thought Ridge had left Brooke but was stunned when she went to Paris, France to find Ridge there. She saw Morgan and wondered if he was having an affair and confronted him angrily his cheating on Brooke. She knew something was wrong when he spoke to her civilly and asked, "Brooke, whose Brooke. Oh, I know Brooke. Or do I?" Amber thinks he's joking with her until she hides and sees Morgans speaking to him. And she reminds him that they're married to each other. And he never really loved Brooke. Amber decides Ridge must have a concussion and she goes into the room to get him to leave. Morgan shows up and her mother the psychiatrist and tells Amber that Morgan will leave Ridge alone from now on and they have a place where she can go get help. Amber and Ridge leave together and he hugs Brooke whose thrilled to see him along with their children, Taylor's kids and R.J. and Hope.
Amber lives with Ridge Forrester and Taylor Forrester (former wife whose returned from the dead) due to Taylor's kindness even though Ridge despises her and blames her for Rick's problems. She continued to be the main reason for tension in an already falling apart household due to Stephanie's ability to manipulate the couple to become a married couple again causing Ridge to dump Brooke again.
Ridge left his wife Taylor and went after Brooke, his ex-wife who finally decided to give their relationship another chance. Amber despised Ridge for his treatment of her and wanted Brooke to leave him. She already knew that a developing attraction was developing between him and Bridget (who was once believed to be his daughter until a DNA test proved otherwise) so she locked them in a cold cave and recorded for Brooke to see them kiss each other on the lips and hug each other in the cold. Brooke blasted her for nearly causing her fiancee and daughter to die and told Ridge what Amber did not making the animosity he felt for her any better. Amber tells Brooke that she just wanted to get over to her that it wasn't her who was not worthy for Ridge but he didn't deserve her. Everybody shuns Amber and she decides to leave for Genoa City.

In the fall of 2006, Amber arrived in Genoa City in order to make a fresh start. Amber right away became acqainted with many of the residences of Genoa City as she helped Neil Winters out by singing in his nightclub Indigo when one of his performers backed out at the last minute and she already knew Lauren Fenmore who gave her a job at her boutique "Fenmore's". Amber then met town matriarch Katherine Chancellor and they became very dear friends, Kay at one time told Amber she reminded her of herself when she was Amber's age and since Kay has been like a mother-figure for Amber ever since. When Kay began having dreams about her past where she dreamt she switched Jill Foster Abbott baby back in the 70s, Amber decided to start helping searching for the long-lost baby (so it seemed until 2009).

When Amber returned to hotel room, Cane woke up and Amber told him they got married, which didn't sit too well with Cane. Cane overtime tried to make his and Amber's marriage work, but it fell apart after Lily Winters let him know that Amber was sending nude photos of herself to her husband, Amber's best guy friend at the time Daniel Romalotti. Cane defended his wife's actions to her but became curious to find out more about her background since he didn't remember marrying her . So he called her ex-mother-in-law Brooke Logan first who told him that Amber was trouble and if he knew what was good for him he'd stay as far away from her as possible. He considered her statement and requested the video for the Las Vegas Chapel to see if he truly married her and saw Alison dressed up in disguise representing him. He let Amber have it with both barrels and even had sex with her, pretending he was going back to her, instead leaving before he yelled "How does it feel?"
Amber became intensely jealous of Lily Winters who Cane became infatuated with and started dating. Lily modeled for the company he worked at and they both kissed a lot in front of her. Lily and Daniel's marriage dissolved after she discovered Amber's naked porn pictures of herself on her husband's cell phone and then an account to a porn video website. Daniel claimed to have a problem but Lily still decided to divorce him and she called Amber trash. Amber attempted to get Cane back by winning a model contest, "The new face of Jabot Cosmetics Line" by dressing up as a model in disguise and competing against Lily on the catwalk. Cane knew it was Amber and pulled off her wig in public as light bulbs flashed causing Amber to break out into tears. She finally got the message that Cane didn't want her and left Lily and Cane's relationship alone.

One day Amber along with Daniel and Kevin Fisher discovered Plum dead and they found his secret thousand of dollars money and the three made a pack to not reveal the money to anyone and to not use it.
