Dixie left Pine Valley when she learned that he had slept with Liza Colby, but returned when Adam summoned his son back because of threats against the Chandlers. Tad and Dixie grew close again, and planned a romantic rendezvous to start a new relationship, however she became ill, was hospitalized and failed to show up. Discovering that she was going to die, she didn't seek him out to apologize and explain. She just let him go on believing she didn't want to pursue another involvement.
After Dr. David Hayward saved her life, Tad and Dixie reunited again and married for a third time. She became pregnant but miscarried, and was told that pregnancy could jeopardize her life because of having only one kidney and a bad heart. To keep herself occupied and forget her grief, Dixie took a job as Dr. Hayward's assistant. Tad started spending longer hours at work and Dixie found herself drawn to David. David, wanting Dixie for himself, drugged Tad with Libidozone, causing him to fall into bed with someone else, and when Dixie found out, she countered by beginning an affair with David.
Tad produced evidence that David was at fault for the one-night-stand, and Dixie left David. Although not a couple, Tad and Dixie worked closely to help JR overcome his drug addiction and ended up in bed.
When Dixie discovered she was pregnant, she knew Tad would insist on termination because of her health. She kept her condition a secret from everyone except David, and he arranged for her to travel to Switzerland. Dixie lied and said she was going abroad to teach a seminar, but after she was certain that her pregnancy would last, she mailed a letter to Tad, telling him the truth. He had just gotten her letter when he received word that she had been killed in an automobile accident.
Dixie lived, and with the help of Dr. Greg Madden, she gave birth to a daughter, Kate. At some point, it seems that Dr. Madden stole the baby and gave it to someone else. Dixie let her family think she was dead for the next four years while she searched for the child.
Eventually, her trail to Dr. Madden led her back to Pine Valley. Hiding in the shadows, she watched her family, and with the help of Zach Slater, she hoped to find Kate before confronting Tad. On the day that Tad and Dixie planned to marry for the second time, Tad was lost when he fell from a bridge during a fight with Billy Clyde. Although his body was never recovered, everyone assumed he had died. Dixie was heartbroken by Tad's death. In her grief Dixie became involved with an old friend of Tad's, Craig Lawson.
Dixie and Craig were married for short time. She divorced him when she discovered that he was a fortune hunter and was also having an affair with his Gloria Marsh. Dixie then became involved with a younger man, Brian Bodine. That marriage ended when it Tad returned from the dead. Ted wanted Dixie for himself, and tried to kill Tad on hunting trip they took together.
Suspicious, Dixie trailed along behind them and was able to save Tad. Ted disappeared, never to be seen again. Instead of reuniting with Dixie, Tad married Brooke English, who had given birth to his son Jamie during his absence. To regain some perspective, Dixie began taking some courses at Pine Valley University, where she became friendly with Jason Sheffield.
Jason became obsessed with Dixie. Tad divorced Brooke because they both realized he still loved Dixie. After they married again, Tad started a job at the local TV station. Their marriage hit a snag when Liza Colby, an old lover of Tad's became his boss at the station. Giving into temptation, Tad and Liza slept together.
In Pigeon Hollow Dixie began teaching and became engaged to Jonas. Adam and his family had been threatened, and Dixie agreed to bring Adam Jr. It wasn't' long before Tad and Dixie rekindled their feelings for each other. On a trip together to New York City, Tad and Dixie confronted their feelings and decided to see if they were ready to fully commit to each other.
They agreed to meet at the Statler Building if they both ready to resume a life together. On her way to meet Tad Dixie's kidney failed, and she was too sick to meet him. Although Dixie recovered, her heart was weakened. Not wanting to worry Tad, she kept her illness to herself. When Tad finally discovered the truth, he proposed to Dixie and she accepted him.
They made plans for another marriage. Dixie had been told she could never carry another child to term due to her health problems. Besides her heart condition, she also now had only one kidney. When her brother Del was ill, she had donated one of her kidneys to him. When she inadvertently became pregnant with Tad's child Dixie was overwhelmed with joy, As her doctors had predicted however, Dixie miscarried.
With J. David and Dixie worked long hours together, and a mutual attraction began to build. One night David kissed her, and Dixie returned the kiss with equal fervor. David's lack of ethics bothered Dixie. In particular, she disagreed with him about keeping Dimitri Marick's medical condition a secret from his family.
When Dixie told Alexandra Marick the truth, David was furious. That, along with David's dislike of the Martin family caused Dixie to quit her job with the Andrassy Foundation. Dixie and Tad marriage began to disintegrate when she discovered that Tad had tried to use Leslie Coulson to help get David Hayward out of their lives. In January , Dixie quietly flew to the Caribbean and got a divorce from Tad. When Tad learned of it, he demanded that he be allowed to go back to the islands with her and finalize the divorce properly.
While there, Dixie nearly died from her heart condition. David Hayward was flown to the island and healed Dixie using an experimental therapy that he'd developed.
Dixie and Tad returned to Pine Valley. Although they were getting along quite well, Dixie was keeping a secret from Tad: she was pregnant. Rather than ending the pregnancy to spare her own life, Dixie arranged to stay at a clinic in Switzerland where she could have her baby under close guidance. Dixie's disappearance from Pine Valley caused Tad and J.
While Dixie kept in contact with J. Tad made it his mission to find Dixie, but his searched were unsuccessful. Dixie broke her silence after the successful completion of her third trimester. Dixie sent a letter to Tad telling him that she was pregnant and carrying his daughter.
A jubilant Tad made plans to reunite with Dixie, who made it clear that she wanted to return home to be with Tad. As Tad boarded a plane bound for Zurich, Opal received a call that would change everyone's lives forever: Dixie had been killed in an automobile accident.
The severity of the accident -- her car had gone out of control and over a cliff -- left no trace of Dixie's body. Dixie was revealed to be alive and well in December of She had been living in a private clinic, but after a visit from her half-sister, Di, she decided to return to Pine Valley. She narrowly managed to avoid detection at Erica Kane's masquerade ball, only to be flushed out by Zach Slater a few days later at the cemetery.
Zach agreed to keep her secret, but Dixie moved about Pine Valley, taking a look at her loved ones. While eavesdropping on J. Zach took care of her at the casino while her wound healed. The next person she saw was David Hayward, thrilled to see her back. Dixie went to Pine Valley Hospital to confront Dr. Greg Madden the fertility expert. He was the man who had taken Dixie's daughter four years earlier when she thought she was dying.
Only Greg Madden knew where her daughter, Kate was, and he refused to tell her. Dixie decided to leave Pine Valley without J. After an angry confrontation with Tad, Adam drugged Dixie and tried to ship her out of the country. And also WTH?!? In late , the girlbosses of Fusion Cosmetics began meeting their maker at the hand of a serial killer called the Satin Slayer — in reality, Alexander Cambias, the not-as-dead-as-everyone-wished father of Zach Grayson.
Well, you know — Dixie — to disastrous effect. You can watch her shuffle off this mortal coil below, as well as take a tear-stained trip down memory lane, via the clip below. I had stepped out of line, and they wanted to put me back in line, and I was going to eat those pancakes and I was going to learn my lesson, and I certainly did.
There was a silver lining, though, for McClain. And who else would have that kind of power but the big kahuna? More: The AMC alum who should still be with us today. No one asks me what I did! I was asking the writer for a scene where Tad and Dixie take their kids aside to make sure they know that their dad Tad killing someone was wrong. I thought this would be ok.
