Amy Carter was the girlfriend of Max King. Max and Amy had spent time traveling and arrived in the village for his father Tom's wedding to Charity Dingle before intending to travel to Thailand after visiting Amy's parents in Cornwall. The King family treated her with open contempt. The wedding ended in disaster, and Tom re-evaluated his life and demanded that Max stay and get a job. Max agreed, and an upset Amy said she will wait for him. However, he told her to go to Cornwall without him. She told him that they will keep in touch, but as she left the village in a taxi, Max deleted her number from his mobile phone.
