[edit] Character

Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) and Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) became involved, and Michael eventually proposed to her after dinner in the Private Dining Room at The Genoa City Athletic Club, which he had set up to look like a gambling casino. After some hesitance by Lauren over Michael's lack of communication about his personal life, Lauren did say yes. Lauren returned from a business trip to Los Angeles, not wearing her engagement ring and Michael suspected that Lauren was hiding something. Michael's mother, Gloria (Judith Chapman) was thrilled with the impending marriage, and took over the wedding planning. Michael soon quizzed Lauren about her rarely-mentioned son, Scotty, hopeful that he would attend the wedding, and they could finally meet, but Lauren was evasive. After an internet search turned up nothing but a last name for Scotty, Michael's half-brother Kevin (Greg Rikaart) asked to borrow Lauren's cell phone, and they traced Scotty by his phone number to Toronto. Michael went there and met his future stepson, now a 24-year-old college student/teaching assistant, working on his Masters in Education with a specialty in creative writing. Scotty, who now goes by the name "Scott", disclosed that he had never been back to Genoa City since he was a toddler, and had grown up in boarding schools around the world. But wherever he was, Lauren visited often and kept an apartment nearby. Scott had always wondered why his mother was so secretive, but gave up asking about it back when he was a kid. Not long after Michael returned to Genoa City, Lauren decided it was time to tell Scott about her impending marriage, but Scott admitted he'd already met Michael. Lauren felt betrayed by her fiance, but Michael later reminded her about how she disliked his family secrets. After Lauren left Scott's apartment, who should walk out of Scott's bedroom, but Lauren's long-time nemesis, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Sheila was taking college courses and being tutored by Scott, who is the spitting image of his father (to whom Sheila was once married). Sheila gave Scott an idea for a novel. Unknown to him, the story was of Sheila and his mother Lauren, but Sheila made Lauren out to be the evil-doer who stole Sheila's baby (when it was really the other way around). Meanwhile, Michael discovered Lauren and Sheila's history, and visited "Sheila" in a Californian prison for the criminally insane. This turned out not to be Sheila, but "Sugar" (also played by Brown) who, after drugging and plastic surgery, looked like Sheila and had turned herself in after a two-month escape. Scott came to Genoa City for his mother's wedding and Sheila followed him there in disguise. She soon hooked up with Kevin's abusive father, Tom (Roscoe Born)

Not realizing that Shelia was intent on murder, Tom was conned into joining her plot to get back at Lauren, by planting a bomb on Lauren and Michael's honeymoon yacht. Michael watched in horror from shore as the yacht blew up. Lauren was not found, and was presumed dead. However, Tom had rescued Lauren and carried her and Sheila back to a farmhouse in Genoa City where he held them in the basement fallout shelter. Lauren convinced Tom that Sheila was the evil-doer, so he contacted Gloria to arrange a deal to turn over Lauren. Gloria's husband, John (Jerry Douglas), overheard the phone call, grabbed his gun, and met Tom in an alley instead. During a struggle, the gun went off and Tom was killed. John dropped the gun and took off getting into a car accident, but his daughter Ashley (Eileen Davidson) arrived in time to witness it. In order to protect her elderly father (who had no memory of what had happened that night), Ashley confessed to the shooting and was arrested with Michael as her lawyer. Meanwhile, Lauren and Sheila, still in the bomb shelter, fought and Lauren accidentally broke Sheila's ankle. Eventually, realizing Tom was not coming back, they joined forces, attempting to escape. As they were almost out, Paul (Doug Davidson) arrived and pulled Lauren to safety while the shelter caved in on Sheila. Sheila was not found in the rubble, but was later seen in a plastic surgeon's office wanting a new face. Michael and Lauren enjoyed a tearful reunion, and everyone in Genoa City was relieved she was alive.

Scott decided to stay in Genoa City permanently, but soon faded into the background. Months later, his absence was addressed on-screen when it was revealed that he had moved back to Toronto.
