Scott and Dominique's partnership started as a professional one when Dominique (now portrayed by Shell Danielson) started working at Deception Perfume with him and Julia Barrett (Crystal Carson). At the time, Dominique was dating Connor Olivera (Michael Lynch). Even though Scott and Dominique didn't get along well, he invited her on a trip to Las Vegas in hopes of winning big while gambling. She agreed, and the trip ensued in a booze-filled blur. The next thing they knew, they woke up hungover and married.
Both equally horrified at what they had done (and the fact that they couldn't remember), the pair returned to Port Charles and filed for divorce. Upon Dominique's return to town with a new husband, Connor broke up with her and left town. Scott and Dominique came to a mutual decision: they wouldn't go through with the divorce if the marriage ended up being a happy one. They fell in love and forgot any mention of divorce.
