[edit] About Lance
Lance first appeared as a student at Erinsborough High, who began dating Hannah Martin and began giving her jewellery, which later turned out to belong to his mother. Lance later moved schools.
A Year later, when his parents divorced, Lance reappeared and sorted out his differences with Hannah. They began hanging out together. Lance gradually returned to Erinsborough high
Lance's mother Ruth rented Number 32 from Hannah's father Philip and they were later joined by Lance's sister Anne.
Along with Anne, Lance got into various scrapes along with mates Billy Kennedy and Toadfish Rebecchi.
Lance initially struggled to accept Ruth and Philip's relationship but came around in time.
Love came Lance's way in the form of Amy Greenwood, a girl with a clique full of nasty friends. Lance and Amy began dating for a few years and went through ups and downs. Eventually they broke up after Amy cheated on Lance with Air steward, Damien, who she became pregnant by.
Lance was single for a while and didn't get into a serious relationship until he met Allana Truman at a Sci-Fi convention. Allana had put Lance through seven labours of love, which he eventually completed.
Lance and Allana later left for America after winning a radio contest.
Four years later, Lance came back to Erinsbourgh for a Sci-Fi convention. He got a shock when he met up with Toadie's housemate, Connor O'Neil who had similar traits to him. This was spotted by Annalise, and appears to have been a meta-reference to the way Lance was replaced with a similar character.
While watching Annalise Hartman's documentary, Lance was in for another surprise when Amy admitted that she truly loved him and told him to give her a call. Lance was happy but he had been settled with Allana in America.
