When Amy discovered Lance had developed a gambling addiction, it proved too much for her and she broke up with him. Speaking to an "All About Soap" reporter, Stapleton thought that Amy and Lance should have stopped being "pig-headed" and make up with each other. She continued "They are both very headstrong and strong-willed. Each doesn't want to be the first to say what they truly feel. I can understand how that is; nobody wants to open themselves up to rejection and getting hurt." Bibby thought that there had been a strong attraction between the characters from the start and said that they meant the world to each other. He added that they worked well together "in their funny way."
