Storylines

Hannah is the mother of the late Ethan Cambias, a child conceived from a teenage love affair with

After returning to Pine Valley, Hannah starts working on an assignment given to her by Adam Chandler, pointed against Zach's company, which she later regrets doing. With Adam blackmailing her, Hannah works to get Adam his company back from Zach. She steals the company from Zach while he is preoccupied with getting Kendall Hart's legal affairs in order. She then gives Adam back his company and breaks off her relationship with him.

After hearing that Kendall has been sentenced to community service, Hannah attempts to shoot her while she is partying at Greenlee Smythe's apartment. While her bullet misses Kendall, it hits Ryan Lavery instead. While Zach is searching for Hannah, she runs into Sean Montgomery, whom she takes back to her hotel room and sleeps with. She then goes off to the cliffs (the same cliffs where Leo du Pres and Vanessa Bennett died) where Zach finds her. She shares memories with Zach of his father raping her while Zach was at school. Zach tries to comfort her, but she steps away from him and both of them slip at the edge of the cliff, now hanging on for life. Zach vows to save her and asks her to hold on to him tightly. Aidan Devane, Kendall, and Greenlee rush to where the two are and try to pull them up to safety.

As Zach tells Hannah that he is sorry for the awful things that happened to her and pleads for her to believe him, Hannah makes it clear that she forgives him. Zach professes his love to a frantic Kendall to calm her down, and as he does, Hannah tells Zach that it is okay, seemingly realising how deep his love for Kendall goes. Looking down and surmising the situation, Hannah tells him that everything is as it should be. Sensing that they will both die if they go any longer in their current state, she says, "Let's go," and presumably falls to her death. Zach is pulled to safety, distraught over the one woman he could not save.
