==Life==
===Early Life===
Samantha was diagnosed as bipolar when she was young, and has struggled with the diagnosis and how her disorder affects her status at the school, which is why she keeps it hidden. In 2007 she was involved in doing drugs, because she had started to feel way to numb due to the medication she was getting. 
===Season One===
Samantha is first introduced as the headstrong editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who announces she is officially dating Dean Lewis at the start of the 2007-2008 school year. When Dean gets busted for drugs in his locker, he puts the blame on Samantha. Samantha gets demoted at the newspaper as punishment for what is later secretly revealed was a manic episode.
When Max and Dean get discovered by Katie and Mila, Dean goes to talk to Samantha about his feelings for Max, and the two of them brake things off again late-september. They rekindle things briefly when Samantha suffers a depressive episode and convinces Dean, but eventually he chooses Max over her. This causes Samantha to chose seeking better treatment, and she is abscent untill spring break. Afterwards she returns, now stabily medicated. She uses Dean's treatment of her as an excuse and regains her popularity. In the process she drops Katie as her friend, who she finds out was blackmailed for being a lesbian.
This rubs Payton the wrong way, but both Katie and Dean ask Payton not to take action because they know Samantha, to the point where Dean knows about her diagnosis. Mila iseventually the one who goes to the student council to make sure Samantha can't run the newspaper anymore, and she wins the battle.
===Season Two====
Samantha is still at the school in Season Two but less active. She has redeemed herself by putting aside her negative views on LGBTQ matters. She is seen to attend the assembly for Katie, where she apologizes to Dean for her behaviour. Dean forgives her, stating he can't speak for Katie though. Despite making things right, she never returns to being the queen bee she used to be.
