Scott Chandler first appeared in Pine Valley as the young son of Cindy Parker, who in 1988 had married Stuart Chandler. Stuart adopted the boy and the three of them lived together happily for a while, but Cindy was diagnosed with AIDS (spread to her by her drug-addict ex-husband) and subsequently died, leaving Scott and Stuart alone. Stuart is the only father Scott has ever really had.

Scott (and his trust fund) has been appealing to many of Pine Valley’s young women over the years, including Brooke English’s adopted daughter Laura Kirk, Martin granddaughter Kelsey Jefferson, Gillian Andrassy and ex-college flame Greenlee Smythe. Most recently his attention has been on Becca Tyree, despite the wishes of his new stepmother Marian.  Becca's attention was drawn away from Scott, however, and in the aftermath of believing that his father was dead, Scott made some poor choices.  He set up a website that made fun of Becca's virginity and tried to frame Leo with it's creation, but Becca eventually found out about the scheme and the relationship was over.  Stuart reappeared, very much alive, and Scott was overjoyed.
