Brief Character History
Dawn arrived in Port Charles in 1989 and became a
student nurse at GH. It was soon revealed that Dawn was actually the long
lost child of Monica Quartermaine and David Langton. Dawn was excited to find
a new mother but was also excited to find love with Ned Ashton. Ned was so
taken with Dawn that he bought her Spoon Island and the house on it called
Wyndemere.
In 1990, Dawn and Ned became engaged. Dawn, however, was privately infatuated
with young con artist Decker Moss, whom Tracy Quartermaine enlisted to help
break the couple up. On Ned and Dawn's wedding day, it was revealed that Ned
had once had an affair with Dawn's mother Monica! Dawn felt betrayed by both
her true love and her mother, and ran away in Ned's Ferrari, which had been
decorated for the wedding. She left town in the company of Decker
In 1991, Dawn and Decker returned to Port Charles. Dawn was hoping to make
amends with her mother, and both shared in the excitement of Dawn's plans to
marry Decker. While Decker was out of town dealing with a gambling problem,
Ned forged a letter he'd left and tried to pass it off as a Dear Dawn letter,
but Dawn gave him a slap instead of reconciliation.
Dawn moved in with friend and fellow student nurse Meg Lawson to a home at
the Willow Stone condo, paid for by Monica. Dawn fell ill after exposure to
contaminated water there. She was cured, and not long after Decker returned
to town. They were happier than ever.
Tragically, Edge, a con artist hoping to break up Decker and Dawn to get his
hands on Dawn's money, was tied up with the two by old enemies The club
Decker and Edge co-owned and all 3 were tied up in, Body Heat, was set on
fire. Edge freed himself and bludgeoned Dawn and Decker with a lead pipe.
Dawn didn't survive. Edge had placed the pipe in Decker's hand, but was
cleared when a videotape surfaced, revealing the killer to be Edge Jerome.
Before Edge could be arrested however, he was killed by his own enemies and
his severed head was found in a dumpster. Monica was devastated; Decker left
town.
Dawn was last mentioned when Alan reminded Monica of how he had accepted
Dawn, while Monica was refusing to accept his long-lost daughter, Skye. After
the mention of Dawn's name, Monica agreed to try.
