Due to the volatile nature of her parents' relationship, Starr's young life has been filled with chaos. As a baby, Todd kidnapped her from Blair as part of a revenge scheme. She has lived through her parents' many marriages, divorces and separations. While she loves both her parents, she feels a particularly close connection with her father. After the supposed death of her father, Starr was not willing to accept Walker Laurence as the new man in Blair's life. However, Walker shared a secret with Starr-he was really Todd (after extensive plastic surgery). Elated that her father had returned and would be with her mother, Starr kept her father's secret. When the truth came out Blair was furious with Todd, and wanted nothing to do with him. After a heated night together, Blair accused Todd of rape. Starr found herself in the middle of her battling parents, but ultimately blamed her mother for their problems. Starr was devastated when Todd was found guilty and sent to prison. Starr took matters into her own hands when she enlisted Matthew Rappaport's help to formulate a plan for her father's escape. They stopped the van that was transporting Todd to prison, but in the process Matthew was kidnapped by Troy MacIver. Starr felt terrible, and was relieved when Matthew was returned safely. For several days Starr also stopped eating to protest her father's situation. With the help of her aunt Viki, Starr realized she was acting out in a dangerous manner, and agreed to start eating. After some time, Blair was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. It turned out the tumor caused memory lapses and could make one misinterpret situations. Blair realized Todd had not raped her, and dropped all charges against him. Starr was ecstatic to have her father back, but soon realized her parents would never reunite. Depressed, Starr met a young boy named Travis on the internet, and lied to him about her age. She planned a mother/daughter trip to New York so that she could meet Travis in person, and so they could run away together. The first meeting with Travis did not go as planned, and he was angry that she lied about her age. Travis contacted Starr again, and asked for a second meeting. It turned out he had also lied about his age, and still wanted to run away with Starr. She agreed to meet him and together they ran away. Blair was frantic when she realized Starr was missing, and reached out to Todd for help. While walking through Central Park, Starr and Travis were chased by cops. While Starr got away, Travis was apprehended. Starr came across a young man named Laser, who kidnapped Starr, and contacted Todd and Blair for ransom money. He told them to meet him back in Llanview where they would make a trade: $1 million and Starr would go home. Travis followed Todd and Blair to Llanview and was determined to help them get Starr back. The exchange for Starr went awry, and Todd and Blair were unable to get her back. Laser then contacted Blair, and told her to meet them back in New York. He sent her on a wild goose chase, and when the time came to get Starr back, Laser took Blair hostage. Luckily Todd had followed Blair out to New York, and after a suspenseful showdown, were able to rescue both Starr and Blair. The kidnapping brought Blair and Todd closer together, and they eventually decided to reconcile. Starr was ecstatic. Travis came to Llanview for summer camp, and Starr spent the entire summer with him. Despite growing feelings between them, Starr was saddened when Travis had to return to New York at the end of the summer. Starr distracted herself by helping with her parent's wedding preparations. Starr was devastated when her father disappeared right before the wedding, leaving only a note that claimed he couldn't go through with the nuptials. Starr comforted her mother, but was convinced that there was more to her father's disappearance. Starr was right- Todd was actually kidnapped and held captive in an isolated cabin by an obsessed stalker, Margaret Cochran. Blair caught on to Margaret's role in Todd's disappearance, and set out to find Starr's father. However, Blair soon went missing, and Starr eagerly awaited the return of both parents. Starr was ecstatic when Todd returned to Llanview, but her happiness was short lived when she received the news that her mother was killed by Margaret. Starr was devastated, but soon after Todd was certain Blair had survived. Starr helped her father get to the truth of Blair's whereabouts by confronting Asa Buchanan. It turned out that Asa had hidden Blair in an insane asylum, and Todd was able to bring her home safe and sound. Starr was reunited with both parents, but is wary that Margaret could return into their lives at any moment.
