Lyon Hunter is a fictional character on the popular American daytime soap opera, As the World Turns portrayed by Evan Alex Cole. He made his debut on the show on Thursday, April 30, 2009.
Hunter first arrived in Oakdale after being promoted from the IT Department of Worldwide by Lucinda Walsh to become Emily Stewart’s new Co-editor at The Intruder, when the decision was made to move the paper online.
On his first day Hunter did not make a good first impression with Emily when it became apparent that he was quite clumsy and when Emily asked him if Hunter was his first or last name, he replied saying that it was his last name and that his first name was not important as everyone calls him Hunter. Later when Emily started to get agitated at Hunter’s suggestions for the site, including changing the name of the paper, she decided to head out to Yo’s for a drink with Hunter following her. Once they were there Hunter once again put his foot in it when he commented on Emily’s age by saying that people of her “generation” may not understand how the Internet works; as the time went on Hunter once again showed his clumsy side by falling into Emily, with Alison, Casey and Jade looking on thinking that he’s her new boy toy.
After Emily left, Alison went to talk to Hunter and told him that if he wants Emily to listen to him the best way is to just agree with her. She then invited him to join her and her friends but, things do not go well when he accidentally knocks Jade’s drink all over her and feeling embarrassed he quickly left. When he got back to the office Hunter told Emily that he’d met Alison and she’s nothing like her also, having taken on board what Alison said Hunter told Emily that she was right about changing the name of the paper, and in doing so she started to warm to him.
As Emily and Hunter started working together on the new online Intruder, he continued to point out every mistake she was making which frustrated her causing her to kick Hunter out of the office so that she could concentrate. Later, Alison arrived at the office looking for Hunter and Emily told her that she’s told him to stay away, when Emily asked what she wanted him for Alison told her that Casey was having a barbecue and she wanted to invite him but, also try to fix him up with Jade which Emily told her wasn’t a great idea as Hunter wouldn’t know what to do if he had a girlfriend as her was raised by “cyber wolves in a techno forest”. When Alison found Hunter at Al’s she invited him over to Casey but he was quite confused as to why she would want him there but, he turned down the invitation under the impression that Emily would need him to help her, so Alison told him that they’d hang out another time; thinking this meant setting a date Hunter asked when but she had to explain that “another” time is only an expression which, again showed how literally Hunter takes everything in life. Afterwards Hunter went back to Worldwide to see how Emily was getting on and his continued to point out every mistake she made and she had to tell him that in order for her to get it right she’d have to figure it all out on her own. Wanting rid of Hunter again she told him to go to the barbecue that Alison mentioned which at first he was resistant to however, when she said that if he didn’t leave one of them would die he quickly changed his mind especially when she told him that Alison had big plans for him. As Hunter and Alison waited for Casey and Jade to arrive, they started talking and learned that they have quite a bit in common, when Alison suggested that he helped by grilling the meat and he started telling her the scientific effects of grilling which confused her so, she offered him a beer and he told her that he doesn’t drink, and she asked if he doesn’t like putting toxins into his body or if he has a sordid past like she does, when Jade and Casey finally arrived he welcomed them buy emptying a bag on candy over her. As time passed Hunter showed that he is unable to recognize when people are being literal or telling a joke, and once again Jade become his target when he drops her burger on the floor, feeling out of place Hunter quickly makes his exit. When he got back to the office he found that Emily had successfully formatted a page for the paper and she asked him how things went at the barbecue and he told her not very well. He then showed his interest in Alison and whether she and Emily have different fathers and she told him that they have different biological fathers and mothers, leading Emily to tell him that Alison are biologically her sister and daughter and she explained how this was possible.
