DORIAN LORD'S HISTORY
One of the most sophisticated, cunning, loving and powerful women of Llanview, Dorian Lord has been rocking the town with her conniving schemes since 1973! After overcoming an abusive upbringing, she went on to become a successful doctor, built a financial empire and fought her battle against breast cancer.
After the death of Victor Lord, Dorian became his widow and continued to live and love the Llanfair mansion. It wasn't until after her remarriage to Herb Callison that Dorian was made aware of a clause in Victor's will stating that once Dorian remarried, the mansion would go to his daughter Victoria! This would mark the beginning of Dorian's hatred for Viki, which continues to be present to this day!
For years, Viki blamed and accused Dorian of killing her father. Through the brutal arguments and schemes to make the other pay, Dorian proved her innocence after it was revealed that Victoria had an identity disorder and finally faced the truth that one of her 'alters' killed the great and powerful Victor Lord! Throughout the years, Dorian lived to seek revenge on Viki. She once seduced Viki's youngest son Joey and had a hot affair with him for months!
Dorian later found the love of her life in Mel Hayes. It was Mel who made Dorian face her past and admit that she was abused by her evil mother Sonya and witnessed her mother murdering her father! Her family problems would come full circle when Dorian came upon her mother trying to harm her daughter Cassie� Dorian was able to protect her daughter from Sonya's clutches but in turn ended up killing her mother! After a bitter argument with Mel, Dorian tried to stop him as he was headed out on a business trip with Viki. However, it was too late and Mel met a tragic death when his plane crashed. Finding out that Mel took Viki's seat on an earlier flight fueled her hatred toward Viki!
While setting out into the night in search of Mel's spirit, Dorian hit Viki's daughter Jessica and caused her to lose the baby she was carrying. Months later, Jessica turned around and terrorized Dorian into thinking she was going crazy!
Most recently, Dorian was reunited with Adriana, the daughter she had with mob boss Manuel Santi. Fearing for her daughter's life, Dorian allowed her to be raised by a family in Puerto Rico. With her daughter back home, Dorian has tended to be a bit overbearing and controlling of her life. Not approving of Adriana's boyfriend Rex Balsom, Dorian hired Bruce Bartlett to stalk her daughter and make it look as though Rex was doing it! However, as most of her plans, this one, too, backfired and Dorian almost lost Adriana after the crazed man kidnapped her!
Although her latest love interest is in Clint Buchanan, Dorian tends to fancy herself with younger men, David Vickers being her most memorable catch, and has been taken advantage of along the way. Though she means well, Dorian's meddling has caused her daughters and nieces much irritation! However, if there's any revenge to be had in Llanview, Dorian's the woman to go to for advice!

Thursday, December 04 2008: Blown Away By Guilt!
When Blair and Dorian arrive at the café and see John and Marty, Blair's about to leave, but Dorian urges her inside. With a smile, Blair goes to their table, puts her hand out to Marty and says, "Hi, I'm Blair. Todd's ex-wife." Marty stands and accepts Blair's handshake then listens as Blair apologizes for all Todd has done to her. "Todd told me we were mortal enemies, is that true?" Marty asks. Blair admits they had their issues and tries to be sympathetic to Marty, who continues to bring up all the lies that Todd told her - including how Blair and John had an affair, which happens to be true! Again, Blair relates to how she feels, because of all that Todd has done to her, but Marty snaps, "You had a choice… He raped me!" Though Blair tries to leave, Marty stops her and asks, "You do hate me, don't you?"
Inside the kitchen, Dorian and Moe reconnect, as she asks his opinion of her truffle custard. After the taste test, Dorian invites Moe to dinner, but he has to fly back home. Putting down Moe's stick-in-the-woods town in Texas, Dorian tells him he's too good to be stuck in the kitchen at the Bonjour Café! Shortly after, when Dorian emerges from the kitchen, she hears Marty snapping about Blair's jealously over finding John with her and defends her niece by saying, "Blair does have a right to know what's going on with you two!"
Wednesday, December 03 2008: When I look At Chloe, I See Hope...
In Dr. Joplin's office, she admits to Blair, Starr, Dorian, Marcie and Michael that a better doctor could have saved Hope then says, "You all deserve to know exactly how this tragedy came to happen." The doctor explains that Hope died of Rh disease, a treatable disease where a small amount of the baby's Rh+ blood enters into the mother's - and doesn't mix with the mother's Rh- blood. Demanding to know why Dr. Joplin didn't detect this, the doctor admits, "I don't know what I was thinking. I am completely at fault." As Dorian continues to rant and rave about the doctor's negligence, Dr. Joplin thinks back to Todd's initial orders! Through tears, the doctor announces that the baby will be released to them, for a proper funeral, then begs them for forgiveness.
Outside the doctor's office, though Dorian and Blair want to take Starr out to breakfast, to get her mind off of what just happened, Starr insists on being alone and Blair reluctantly allows it.
