Amanda is relatively new to the medical melodrama, first joining the cast in 2019.
Her character began the show as a child and was played by Brooke Radding from 1996 to 2001.
In 2004, Adrianne León assumed the role, but she appeared as an adult version of the character, despite the math not working out.
León left in 2006, joined the cast again in 2010 and then took her final bow in 2011.

Monaco was quarantined for two weeks after she had breathing problem during her return to work on the long-running ABC soap opera, her mother Carmina said on Twitter Sunday.
Lindsay Hartley – who continues to use ex Justin Hartley’s last name though they divorced in 2008 – will be taking the role in the meantime.
