Emily (Kelley Menighan Hensley)
— PGP

Emily's Little Black Book

— By Jennifer Lenhart


We hate to call her easy, but Emily Stewart isn't known as Oakdale's town tramp (not unlike her mother, Susan, before her) for nothing. Her bedmates have included a Stenbeck family free-for-all: the father and two of his sons (Jordan Sinclair was the one that got away); as well as the Hughes brothers and, of course, a Snyder boy — and those are just the ones we know about! Here's the hot sheet on Em's many lov-ahs.

James Stenbeck (Anthony Herrera)
— CBS

James Stenbeck (1986-87): When James returned from the dead the first time, his young concubine, Emily (who had run away from mom Susan) came with him. By 1987, she was starting to realize she was in over her head with this diabolical criminal mastermind, who made her an accomplice to some of his dirty deeds (including help kidnap his son, Paul). She was also pregnant with his child ...

Holden (Jon Hensley) and Emily (then-Melanie Smith)
— CBS

Holden Snyder (1987-88): ... Enter the stableboy nursing a broken heart. Lily had chosen Dusty, so a dejected Holden impulsively wed Emily. Taking the advice of her mother, Susan (who had her own tarnished rep in town), Emily used sex to convince Holden that he was going to be a daddy. She lost the baby when she got caught up in a street fight between Paul and some bullies. When Holden overheard Paul and Andy talking about how the baby had been James's, he confronted his wife.

Tonio Reyes (1988): Having been reamed for her duplicity by her husband, Emily simply turned to her business partner, Tonio, and Holden soon divorced her. Unfortunately, Tonio was committed to his wife, Meg, and eventually dumped Em, who vowed revenge for the way he'd used her.

Craig (then-Scott Bryce) and Emily (then-Melanie Smith)
— CBS



Craig Montgomery (1988, 1994): Her first step was to help Craig get his business back from Tonio. Naturally (for Emily at least) that meant spending time between the sheets with Montgomery. They didn't last long and had another brief affair in 1994, while Craig and Sierra were separated.

Brock (Greg Beecroft) and Emily (then-Melanie Smith)
— CBS



Brock Lombard (1989-90): Emily took up with this mobster's moll, but when he found out about her past, he called her a slut (go figure) and they broke up. Not long after, they were back together and flaunting it to everyone in town by doing a sexy tango at the annual AIDS ball. These public displays of affection did not go over well with another of Em's paramours....

Emily (then-Melanie Smith) and Paul (then-Andy Kavovit)
— CBS

Paul Ryan (1989-90, 2005): After her breakup with Brock, an inconsolable Emily had spent one night in Paul's bed (taking his virginity). Even though she cared for him, she insisted that they could just be friends. Undeterred, he sent her love letters and flowers. When James found the letters and started to strangle Em, Paul shot and "killed" his father to save her. She moved in with Paul, but was soon transferred to L.A.

Gavin Kruger (1992): Emily had a brief fling with this wealthy businessman (who had a penchant for doling out white roses) before coming back to town. Gavin's next conquest was Barbara, who claimed for a time that he was baby Jennifer's father.

Evan Walsh (1992): Em celebrated her return to Oakdale with a one-night stand with this business associate.

Royce (Terry Lester) and Emily (Kelley Menighan Hensley)
— Victoria Arlak


Royce Keller (1992-93): Em fell hard for the architect (who was actually Lucinda's long-lost half brother), but he started getting rough with her in bed. Soon, Royce's sister, Neal, was murdered — it turned out that Royce's alternate personality, Roger, had done the deed. Royce and Emily were still prepared to marry, but Susan paid a visit to the groom and suggested that he wasn't the same man who had proposed. He dumped Em at the altar.
