Storylines
Shell Kepler portrayed Amy Vinning
Amy Vining is the daughter of Jason and Barbara Vining. Before Amy was born, when her mother Barbara gave birth to her first child, the baby was stillborn and switched with Lesley Williams's new baby girl, Laura. Amy was raised believing that Laura Webber Spencer, then Laura Vining, was her big sister. Lesley found out the truth about her daughter just in time and was able to save her from a cult and bring her back home to Port Charles. When Amy was 16, she came to Port Charles to track down older sister Laura, who had just married Scott Baldwin.
Amy talks to Dr. Noah Drake
While in town, Amy turned out to be quite a bit of trouble. She loved to gossip and was really good at finding out other people's secrets. This caused lots of problems as she would then gossip and spread those secrets like wildfire. Amy's talkative mouth caused quite a bit of strain on Laura and Scott's marriage. Needing a place to stay in Port Charles, Amy went to live with Laura's mother Lesley, and her second husband Dr. Rick Webber.
In 1982, Amy fell in love with a very handsome boxer named Johnny Morrissey, but he broke her heart after he decided to leave town when his manager, Packy Moore, died. Amy and Laura remained close throughout their lives. Amy loved the extended family that she gained in Laura's and was always there for them, even in the rough times. Unfortunately hard times came frequently in their large blended family. The biggest strain occurred when Laura faked her death and did not tell Amy about it.
Amy is honored at the 2013 Nurses' Ball
Amy mourned the loss of her sister deeply, and when it was revealed that Laura was still alive, Amy was both overjoyed and extremely hurt at the lie. Laura and Amy were eventually able to work through Laura's deception and reconcile with each other. Throughout her time on the show, Amy remained single but flirted with many guys. She also developed a friendship with Elton Herbert, Laura's office manager at Deception, but coincidentally she hated his tendency to gossip even though she had the exact same trait. In 2013, Amy was honored at the Nurses' Ball by Lucy Coe and all the other attendees.
