EMILY STEWART MUNSON'S HISTORY
Emily Stewart is the daughter of Dan and Susan Stewart. They divorced soon after she was born. She went to live with her father, but after a custody battle between Dan and Susan, in which Dan won, she was back and forth between them. Emily's life wasn't very stable. Her mother was an alcoholic. When she was 8 years old, her father passed away. Susan and Emily left town. Emily came back to Oakdale when she was 17. A very young Emily found herself falling in love with James Stenbeck, and she became pregnant. She had already decided she wanted nothing more to do with James. Therefore, she had a brief relationship with Holden Snyder, and she led him to believe that the baby was his. Holden did the proper thing and married her. They divorced soon after she miscarried her baby, and Holden learned the truth.
Later, Emily met Brock Lombard, who was a mobster. At this time, Emily offered a summer job to a young Paul Stenbeck, who was the son of Barbara Ryan. One night, after she and Brock had a big argument, Paul stopped by her house. She was upset about the argument, and without thinking, she and Paul made love. Paul was a virgin. He developed deep feelings for Emily, and when his father, James Stenbeck, found out about the situation, he was furious with Emily. Paul came by and heard the argument between his father and Emily. Trying to protect Emily, he grabbed a gun and shot his father. Soon after, Brock reformed from being a mobster. Emily told Brock about the incident with Paul and his father. Brock forgave Emily and planned to be with her forever, when someone from the mob shot him. Brock was found dead.
Emily's mother, Susan, wanted to have a baby but was unable to conceive. Emily offered to donate her eggs so Susan could undergo artificial insemination. The procedure was successful and Susan gave birth to a daughter, Alison. It took awhile for Emily to be comfortable with the idea that Alison was her sister, not her daughter.
Emily met Diego Santana, but the affair was disastrous. She stumbled on some information that led her to believe that he was a mobster making some bad deals. When Diego found out that she knew, he raped her. Devastated, Emily learned to move on. Sometime later, Diego was shot by Kirk Anderson on the day he was to marry Lily. Emily had several relationships that just didn't work out. She tried too hard to make it work, but in the end, she was left behind.
Emily fell in love with Tom Hughes, who was married to Margo. Emily felt she could be a better wife and tried to break up his marriage to Margo. She was determined to destroy his marriage, and believed that she could get Tom to love her. She later realized it could never be and decided to get on with her life, when she finally realized Tom didn't love her. She became pregnant with Tom's baby and gave birth to a son, Daniel. Although this affair put tension on Tom and Margo's marriage, they soon patched things up.
Emily met Hal Munson. Hal's wife, Barbara, just left him for another man. His world was turned up side down. While dating, Emily went missing. After a long search, it was discovered that Emily, Carly Tenney and Rose D'Angelo were all kidnapped and taken to another country where they were injected with a serum that would quickly speed up the aging process. Once rescued, the girls looked three times their age. Luckily, Hal and the police department found the man in charge, and were able to convince him to give the girls a reverse serum. It worked, and their beautiful faces had returned. Hal and Emily's relationship led to marriage. They were happy for a couple of years, but Hal was at the police station most of the time and Emily became lonely, which led to attractions to others, and finally, their marriage ended.
Paul Ryan and Emily became involved in an intimate relationship. At one point, they were both locked up in jail for their involvement in switching Jennifer Munson's baby with Gwen Norbeck's. They decided to get married, and when Emily went to meet Paul to get married, he told her that he had changed his mind, and she didn't need to be with someone like him. As he turned to walk away, Emily shot him. Thinking that she had killed him, she tried to get rid of the body. When Paul came back to Oakdale, he won Emily over by telling her that he forgave her. At this time, Emily kidnapped Dusty Donovan, and in order to find him, Paul had to sleep with Emily. Finally, Dusty was found and Emily was sent to the psychiatric ward at Memorial. Emily found herself pregnant and was eventually released from the institution. Before her due date, Emily got caught in a bad storm at the Snyder farm with Meg, who was seeing Paul at the time. She went into labor and there was no way to stop the baby from being born. Meg helped her deliver a little girl. Her daughter died shortly after being born. Paul and Emily named her Jennifer.
During these dark times, Emily became a call girl for Cheri Love, believing she was worthless. Dusty Donovan found out about it and made her see the truth. She left prostitution. Around this time, she realized that Alison was in deep trouble. She was addicted to meth and was doing porn in Las Vegas. Emily and Dusty worked together to save Alison. They managed to get her back to Oakdale, off drugs and away from the porn career.
Emily began to have serious feelings for Dusty but it took him a while to get past her prostitute past. When he finally did, Emily learned that he and Alison had had sympathy sex in Las Vegas. She was crushed and left town.
Emily returned to Oakdale months later with Chris Hughes. They had a steamy relationship, but she wasn't in love with Chris she was only trying to get back at Dusty. Dusty and Chris butted heads from the moment he returns and on New Year's Eve, Emily couldn't deny her true feelings and had sex with Dusty in his car. She said it couldn't happen again and tried to keep the secret from Chris. Lily, who was having an affair with Dusty at the time, learned of Emily's prostitution soon after Dusty's death and outed Emily in an anonymous note left for Chris. He couldn't believe she had lied to him and ended their relationship.
Emily tried to make things right with Chris but he wouldn't even talk to her. Because of the situation, Emily became a suspect in Dusty's shooting and subsequent death. It was later learned that Colonel Mayer shot him and that Evan Walsh IV had killed him with an injection to keep him from telling the truth about a research project at the hospital.
Soon after this, Casey Hughes returned to town. He fell for Emily almost immediately but she tried to keep her distance from him. They wound up making love on a business trip to New York and from then on couldn't keep their hands off one another. Emily tried to end the relationship several times but couldn't. Margo found out about their relationship when she returned early from a weekend away. She threatened to kill Emily but Casey stepped between them. Margo, who found out about the prostitution, too, outed Emily to Tom and Casey. Casey already knew and didn't care but Tom was flabbergasted. He threatened to take full custody of Daniel. Casey managed to get through to him and he dropped the case at the last second.
Emily began to act strangely after a bottle of perfume was delivered to her office. Emily began acting strangely but Casey didn't catch on. She convinced him to elope with her but regretted the decision when the drugged perfume wore off. She said she wanted an anullment but then retracted the statement when she was dosed with more perfume. She and Casey became deathly ill because of the perfume but Chris' antidote saved their lives.
Their families finally began to accept Emily and Casey's relationship but Casey wanted more than Emily was ready to give. He was determined to have kids so she decided to have her tubes tied!

Susan runs into Alison at the hospital and asks her what's wrong. Ali claims she's fine. Her mother prods her for the truth so Ali finally explains she is there for the morning after pill. "It wasn't Casey was it?" Susan asks. Ali says she made a mistake. Her mother reminds her this wasn't the first time and assumes she must have slept with Mick. "You're not ready to get married," Susan says. Ali insists that she is just friends with Mick and they are both confused. She explains that being with him is like 'an out of body experience'. Susan doesn't trust him and suggests that he caused Emily's coma. She writes a prescription and tells her to let go of Mick. If she can't, she needs to let go of Casey.
At Fairwinds, Paul doesn't know how to respond when Barbara tells him that Mick is really James. "This is the best that you could come up with?" Paul asks before bursting out laughing. Mick claims he can reverse the aging process and says he is there to reverse the damage James did. Paul grabs Mick and punches him to the floor. He accuses him of being a conman and tells him he's sick. Paul orders him out. Barbara asks him to let Mick prove himself. Mick tries making the case that he is James and tells Paul how hard it was to be on his deathbed knowing that his son wanted him there. Emily has called the cops. They come in and arrest Mick. As he's taken away, Paul yanks out some of his hair. Barbara tells Emily that she just lost her last chance at getting pregnant. Emily wants to warn Alison. Paul vows that Mick will pay for this. He asks his mother how long she's been in on this and threatens to have her thrown in jail. Paul can't believe how naïve his mother is being. Barbara claims the treatments are working but her son says, "You're older now than when you met Mick and I'm poorer now... To me, you just look like a fool."
When Alison gets home, her sister shows up. Emily explains that they just had Mick arrested. He put her in the coma and he's been lying about everything. "He's claiming to be James Stenbeck," Emily adds. Alison says none of this makes sense. Emily explains everything they know and Alison tells her about Mick's problems.
Mick is at the station getting processed. Alison arrives to see him. He offers to explain everything. "Who the hell are you?" she asks. She finds it impossible to believe that he could really be James. He claims that their connection is real and honest. The battle going on inside of him is at the heart of what's going on, he says. Barbara storms in and tells Ali to get out. "Be a good little wife and stick to things you understand," Barbara tells her. Alison asks him again for an explanation but he won't say anything.
Emily returns to Fairwinds. She and Paul talk about what's happened. He wonders if his father could have planned something like this. When he tells her it's all over, she's skeptical. She wonders if there is anyway what Mick claims is true. He decides to have the hair he tore out of Mick tested. Emily begins crying as she realizes that they can never have a baby. He says that they can figure something out... and they still have each other.

She explains that he's the one who put her in a coma. They wonder what Mick has been using her for. She remembers that Mick had lots of photos of Paul and she went to confront him about it. He admitted that he's not Mick Dante, so they wonder who he could really be... Paul rants about him and blurts out, "I've been dealing with guys like him my whole life!" Hugging her, he vows to put an end to Mick once and for all.
