IRIS DUMBROWSKI'S HISTORY

Iris is an abrasive, scheming drunk - at least that's what her children, Gwen and Cole, have to say about her. They both emancipated themselves as young teens just to get away from her.

Iris's lies go way back - starting when Gwen was an infant and Iris wanted Gwen's father, Ray Tenney, to stay away. She claimed that Ray's other daughter, Carly, had killed her baby!

Iris came to Oakdale just as Gwen was suing Carly for custody of her son. Iris's presence in Oakdale seemed to be Gwen's lucky break, as the judge would only grant custody if Gwen were living with Iris. Iris, however, took a disliking to Gwen's boyfriend, Will, and schemed to have him arrested for poisoning her. Bad move on Iris's part - she went to jail instead!

Back out of jail, Iris wasted no time in coming back to Oakdale, this time to supposedly help her son Cole get into the music business. But Gwen didn't believe in Iris's "help" and wanted nothing to do with her mother. Most recently, Iris gave Cole money to pressure his young girlfriend Sophie to get an abortion. When that didn't work, she and Cole conspired to sell the baby - to Will and Gwen via Barbara. That plot fell through and Gwen cut Iris out of her life; Iris left town.

Friday, December 21 2007: A Victorian Christmas!

In the dollhouse, William and Gwen are standing over an empty crib. Their baby died earlier in the year. He tells her there could be other children but Gwen doesn't believe it will happen. She hears a baby crying but believes it is only her imagination. They go downstairs when Ms. Stewart (Alison) is going through their mail. She thanks Gwen for taking her in and shows her a letter with a necklace in it. Gwen hears the crying baby again and this time doesn't think it is only her imagination. William hears it, too, and so does Ms. Stewart. They all go outside and find a baby in the cold. William says they have to notify the police; Gwen says they can offer a notice and reward for information. Ms. Stewart hurries off to place the notifications. Gwen and Will are standing over the crib when Iris enters, telling them the baby's mother has been found. Downstairs Barbara, the proprietress of a home for unwed mothers, is waiting with Sofie and Aaron. She shows them a birth certificate and asks for the reward. A baby nurse (Susan) arrives and tells them that she believes the baby is really Gwen's because she saw Barbara leaving the hospital with a baby the night Gwen's baby "died". Sofie tells them it is true and that she was in on it but has wanted to return the child for some time. Alison returns and shows Gwen the necklace that came in the mail. Angry, William confronts Barbara. Barbara tells them that Iris was part of the scam! Aaron tries to run but William stops him. Alison calls the police and the criminals are taken away. It begins to snow outside.

Back in Old Town, Faith, Sage and Natalie return to the window and watch. They realize that all of the dolls are now in the main salon and all of the servants are now in the kitchen. As Sage watches the Carly doll turns and winks at her!
