Brief Character History
A deaf and unhappily married Dominique Stanton
Taub lived on the Stanton estate named Serenity with her diabolical husband
Leopold Taub until 1991, when she fell in love with Mac Scorpio, who had
accidentally wandered onto the grounds. She divorced Leopold and traveled to
Port Charles to find Mac and ask him to help her keep Leopold away. She knew
that Leopold would do anything to get her back and needed protection. When
Leopold came to town, he and Mac struggled endlessly over her. During a fight
over a gun, the resulting shot restore Dominique's hearing. Leopold had her
committed to Shadowbrook Sanitarium after becoming her guardian. He was
killed after he had become involved in a cartel with Cesar Faison, Harlan
Barrett, and Larry Ashton to rule global business with a drug called Carbon
Disulfide. She left the sanitarium a very wealthy widow.
In 1992, Dominique grew jealous of Mac's friendship with his ex-sister-in-law
Holly Sutton Scorpio who had recently come back from the dead! Everyone
thought that Holly had been killed in a plane crash years before. The
relationship angered Dominique and she broke up with Mac. Dominique became
partners in Deception perfume with Julia Barrett and Scotty Baldwin. They
squabbled constantly. After her breakup with Mac, Connor Olivera pursued
Dominique. Dominique joined Scotty Baldwin for a weekend in Vegas. He'd
broken the bank and wanted her to help him win more A few days later,
Dominique woke up in an Las Vegas hotel room hungover....and married to
Scotty! Connor congratulated her and left town. Scott and Dom filed divorce
papers, deciding they'd call off the divorce during the waiting period if
they enjoyed being married. Eventually, the two fell in love for real.
In 1993, Dominique began to have headaches and dizzy spells. It turned out to
be an inoperable brain tumor. She only had months to live. Scotty was
devastated and gave Dominique a lavish second wedding where all their friends
and family could attend. Dominique was saddened by the fact that she could
never give Scotty a child, until Lucy Coe Jones Quartermaine agreed to be the
gestation mother with Dominique's fertilized egg. Lucy successfully became
pregnant with Dominique and Scotty's baby. Dominique lived long enough to
hear her baby's heartbeat as it grew inside Lucy by then she died in
Scotty's arms on a beautiful fall day overlooking the trees. In her will,
Dominique left Scotty $100,000,000. Months later, the baby was born and
Scotty and Lucy named her Serena, after Dominique's childhood home Serenity.
In 1997, Dominique's spirit returned to spend time with Serena, who was in
the middle of a custody battle started by Dom's evil uncle Rex, who wanted
Dominique's fortune. Dominique also appeared to Scott, taking him on a
journey through his past, present, and future, showing him the dire
consequences if he refused to open his heart to love. Scott listened, and
managed to move on with his life.
