Jack And Erica's AMC Romance

1993: Dimitri finally disentangled himself from his marriage and became Erica's husband. Jack, meanwhile, found love with Laurel Banning, who was being tormented by her abusive ex-husband, Denny (the father of her autistic daughter, Lily). Jack helped Laurel evade the cops when she killed Denny in self-defense. Shortly thereafter, they married and Jack adopted Lily.

Erica and Dimitri (Michael Nader) made it official.
— ABC



1994: Jack cheated on Laurel with Erica, whose marriage to Dimitri had faltered. Soon, Jack and Laurel divorced amicably and Jack popped the question to Erica, again, but she turned him down in favor of giving marriage to Dimitri another go. Dimitri and Erica took their second trip down the aisle on New Year's Eve.

1996: Shortly after Dimitri served Erica with divorce papers, she faced up to her drug problem and went to rehab. After she was released, her nefarious doctor, Jonathan Kinder, drugged her and made it appear to Dimitri as though she'd dallied with Jonathan. Dimitri's response was to have a one-night affair with his brother's wife, Maria. She became pregnant. Unaware of Dimitri and Maria's fling, Erica reconciled with Marick after exposing Jonathan's deception.

Erica stole Maria's newborn daughter and passed her off as her own adopted infant. She ultimately returned the tot, but went to jail for her crime. Jack declared his love, but their romance didn't formally rekindle until Bianca returned to Pine Valley suffering from anorexia.
