Casting[]
Hunt's casting as Stacy was announced in December 2008, as "a bad girl with a connection to someone in Llanview." In 2005 the actress received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series and a Soap Opera Digest nomination for her portrayal of Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light.
Of Hunt's February 2010 exit, One Life to Live Executive Producer Frank Valentini said, "It was time for Stacy to leave the canvas. Sometimes it's great when the audience hates a character. It keeps them involved and we certainly don't want to make them mad, but some people, you just don't like and yet they're in your world and they do tend to cause some excitement, so that's not a bad thing. It was storyline-dictated and it was time to help propel all of the other characters into major story". In the same article, Soap Opera Digest noted that the character of Stacy had "never clicked with viewers and critics."

Eventually, Gigi tells the truth, but in the meantime Stacy and Rex have slept together. Rex and Gigi reunite as Stacy's blackmail is revealed.
