Character History

Dominique was married to Leopold Taub and lived on the Stanton estate named Serenity. Dominique was deaf. She fell in love with Mac Scorpio when he wandered onto the grounds of the estate. She divorced her husband and went to Port Charles to find Mac. She convinced Mac that she needed protection and that her ex-husband would do anything to get her back. During a fight over a gun, it went off and restored her hearing. Leopold became her guardian and had her committed to Shadybrook. He was killed when he became involved in a cartel to take over global business. He left her a large sum of money.

Dominique broke up with Mac after she became jealous of his relationship with his ex-sister-in-law Holly Sutton. Dominique became partners with Julia Barrett and Scott Baldwin in Deception perfume. Connor Olivera pursued Dominique. Dominique went to Las Vegas where she woke up hung over and married to Scott Baldwin. Connor congratulated her and left town. They filed divorced papers and decided they would call off the divorce if they enjoy being married to each other.

Dominique began to get headaches and dizzy spells. After her doctor ran some tests, she found out she had an inoperable brain tumor. Dominique only had months to live. Scott and Dominique had a wedding where all their friends and family could attend. Dominique wanted to give Scott a child. Lucy Coe decided to be a surrogate for them. Lucy was carrying Dominique's fertilized egg. Dominique lived to hear the heartbeat but did not live long enough to see the baby be born. Dominique left Scott a large sum of money in her will. Lucy and Scott decided to name the baby Serena after Dominique's family's estate Serenity.
