Amber Moore is a fictional character from the American soap operas The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless. For the character's entirety, she has been portrayed by Adrienne Frantz, introduced by Bradley Bell to The Bold and the Beautiful on July 18, 1997. She was a babysitter for Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Eric Forrester's (John McCook) children, but ended up having a romance with their son, Rick Forrester (Jacob Young). As a young woman, she endured several challenges including being drugged and raped, having a relationship with a younger man and becoming an enemy of Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), a psychotic criminal.
Frantz was later brought over to The Young and the Restless by former head writer Lynn Marie Latham, where she aired from November 28, 2006, to May 27, 2010. There, she became involved in storylines involving Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), the show's matriarch. She also had romances with Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei). After her exit, she returned to The Bold and the Beautiful. Upon her return, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Rosie Forrester, with Marcus Forrester (Texas Battle). In June 2012, she was bumped to recurring by Bell with no appearances afterwards. The following year, Frantz made a brief guest appearance on The Young and the Restless for Katherine's memorial service, last airing on September 4, 2013.
In March 2007, speaking about if she would ever return to The Bold and the Beautiful, Frantz stated: "You never know. I talked to Brad Bell about this and odds are I'll probably show up there in the future. B&B is like my family. It's fun to see them in the hall again and grab them, give them big hugs and hang out in their hair and makeup room." She eventually returned in 2010. In June 2012, Frantz was taken off contract and bumped to recurring. It was reported that Frantz would use that free time in order to pursue other projects. However, she never made another appearance on the show. In September 2013, however, Frantz made a brief appearance on The Young and the Restless for the funeral of Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), last airing on September 4 of that year.
Amber faced several challenges as a young woman. She was kidnapped and nearly killed by criminal Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), who was the person that initially brought her to L.A. While involved with Rick, she slept with highschool friend Raymond, who was portrayed by R&B superstar Usher Raymond. She became pregnant; it was unknown who the child was. She gave birth to a stillborn baby and its paternity was never revealed. Amber became a drug addict after losing a child. Her close friend Taylor Forrester (Hunter Tylo) told her to go to rehab. This eventually led to her rape. Naomi Rabinowitz of Soap Opera Digest explained the storyline: "Taylor persuaded her to go to rehab, but during her welcome home party, Amber was drugged by one of the guests, Lance — and woke up in bed with him. Rick was furious upon learning that his wife allegedly cheated on him, but Amber insisted she was drugged and moved in with Taylor. To make matters worse, Sheila returned and killed Lance before he could vouch for Amber. Sheila then kidnapped Amber and ended up shooting and killing Taylor." She left L.A. in 2005. She returned in 2010; she quickly realised she was pregnant. She tried to pass off her baby as the rich Liam Spencer's (Scott Clifton), but it was revealed that Marcus Forrester (Texas Battle), Rick's cousin and adoptive half-brother, is Rosie's biological father.
Amber became involved with Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) to get his money, after finding out he was Katherine's "grandson" (It was later proved this was a lie). Of working with Goddard, Frantz told Soap Opera Digest: "He's been wonderful and fun. We've got really great chemistry that I think is very natural. We have a different dynamic, and at the same time when Amber is doing all of this horrible stuff, she really is in love with him". After that relationship failed, she was married to Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei). The marriage was short; she left Genoa City and returned to Los Angeles.
After having competed with Kimberly Fairchild (Ashley Tesoro) for Rick's affections, Amber ended up becoming pregnant. For a small amount of time, it was unknown if the child was Rick's or that of a singer named Raymond King (Usher), whom she had dated briefly. Amber married Rick despite this, and she delivered the stillborn Eric Forrester III. She later took in her cousin Becky's (Marissa Tait) unwanted son, raising it as her own; however, Becky reclaims her child later and discovers the truth. Becky later dies of cancer, and Amber begins dating her cousin's husband C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain). Amber has a party at her apartment and she and C.J. are mistakenly arrested for drug possession, resulting in Child Protective Services taking the baby away, letting the child live with Rick. Eric Jr.'s biological father, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) comes to town, interrupting Amber and C.J.'s wedding ceremony. Amber realizes her best chance for custody is with Rick (Justin Torkildsen), and she ends her relationship with C.J.
Meanwhile, Amber engages in a fling with Deacon, who tries to take his child back when Amber rejects him. Deacon later seduces and marries Bridget (Jennifer Finnigan) and tells Rick's parents, Eric and Brooke, that if he has to divorce Bridget, Amber will have to leave Rick and marry him instead. Amber refuses to leave Rick and Deacon becomes enmeshed in a triangle that develops between Bridget and her mother Brooke.
Sheila secretly returns to L.A. in 2002 with her now-grown up daughter, Erica Lovejoy (Courtnee Draper), who develops a crush on Amber's husband, Rick, but would never act on it. Sheila pays off a man named Lance to drug and rape Amber, but when Lance threatens to tell Amber everything that happened, Sheila kills him. Amber finds out about Erica's crush and is suspicious of her intentions, and the two fight and Erica is injured in an accident. Amber moves in with Dr. Taylor Hayes Forrester (Hunter Tylo) despite the opposition of her husband Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss). Sheila frames Amber for various crimes, and continues to push Erica to have sex with Rick so she can be connected to the Forresters once again herself. Erica's true identity (as Sheila's daughter Mary) is exposed, but not before Sheila kidnaps Amber. Sheila later holds Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Taylor hostage, and shoots Taylor and Brooke. Taylor is presumed dead as a result of her wounds, while Sheila is jailed (however later returns to The Young and the Restless). In 2003 Amber meets her twin sister April Knight (also played by Adrienne Frantz)
Amber reunites with Rick, but they soon lose custody of Little Eric to Deacon and his new wife Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes). Amber kidnaps the child and goes on the run, which results in Rick divorcing her. Amber later repeats her ways by seducing another young man, Ridge's son Thomas Forrester (Drew Tyler Bell). Ridge's hatred for Amber intensifies during this time. Amber intertwines herself in Ridge and Brooke's lives as a couple, complicating their situation. As part of her plan to get back together with Thomas, Amber locks Ridge and Bridget (Ashley Jones) in a mineshaft, where they kiss. Amber catches this on tape and shows it to Brooke, who kicks Ridge out. However, later it is revealed that it was Amber who caused Ridge and Bridget to nearly die from hypothermia. She is condemned by the Forresters and leaves for Italy, where she encounters an amnesiac Ridge, who had been kidnapped by the unstable Morgan DeWitt (Sarah G. Buxton). Amber exposes Morgan's scheme and helps Ridge get home, but this doesn't improve her standing with the Forresters. Promising to better herself, Amber leaves town and goes to Genoa City.
After Amber gives birth, the baby appears to be of mixed race, freeing Liam and giving Amber a newfound relationship with her baby's true father, Marcus Forrester (Texas Battle). Bill is prepared to have Amber arrested for manipulating Liam but since Amber's child is the grandchild of his best friend, Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears), Bill decides that he's going to give Amber a free pass... this time. But Bill strongly warns Amber that if she ever comes near and manipulates anyone in his family, again, he will show no mercy. Amber gets Bill's message loud and clear. After Marcus turns her down several times, Amber tells him and his girlfriend Dayzee (Kristolyn Lloyd) that while she would have liked to have had a chance with Marcus, she realizes the timing was all wrong. Amber then sets her sights on ex-husband Rick Forrester (again played by Jacob Young) and begins to draw up designs for him that were based on his ideas, so he is able to have his own line and take credit for the designs as his own. As her relationship with Rick deepens, she begins feeding street drugs to Hope Logan (Kim Matula), who believes they are from her psychiatrist. Brooke then hires Caroline Spencer (Linsey Godfrey), daughter of Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson), into Forrester Creations to act as Rick's new design partner. Threatened both on a professional and personal level, Amber begins to work up a scheme that leads Caroline to believe Rick is a Cross-dressing. When Caroline confronts Hope with the information, Hope attacks Amber, accusing her of manipulating Caroline to get her way. Amber then confesses to giving Hope illegal drugs, which in turn brings the end of her relationship with Rick.
Amber's search ended when she contacted a guy named Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) who wound up coming to Genoa City. She began a relationship with Cane when it was discovered he was Jill's long-lost child and the possible heir to a fortune. Amber and her friend Alison Stewart staged a fake marriage (Alison pretended to be Cane) in Las Vegas. The marriage ended when the truth was revealed. Amber briefly dated Adrian Korbel (Eyal Podell).
Amber started a brief rivalry with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) who won Cane's heart shortly after. Amber tried (but failed) to win Cane back. Amber started flirting with Lily's then-husband Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei). Daniel and Lily's marriage ended when Lily found porn (naked pictures of Amber) on Daniel's phone. Amber and Daniel eventually started a relationship. After this, Amber's previous boyfriend (after she left L.A) named Plum arrived in Genoa City. Later Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) found Plum dead and they all found out that he had thousands of dollars. Amber, Kevin and Daniel made a pact not to talk about the money to anyone and not to use it, but Amber did.
Amber's infatuated stalker Deacon Sharpe arrived in town and shook up Amber and Daniel's relationship by blackmailing Amber and framing Daniel for art theft. Amber in an attempt to keep Daniel from being prosecuted slept with Deacon. Eventually Deacon tried harder to come between the couple, and Daniel's controlling mother, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), enforced it. Nonetheless, Amber and Daniel married, but Deacon continued to harass the couple, and was arrested and jailed. Amber and Daniel's marriage hit another bumpy road when Amber caught a drugged Daniel in bed with Sheila's daughter Daisy Carter (Yvonne Zima). Amber left town with Little Eric, marking the end of Daniel and Amber's marriage.
