Dixie and Brooke were both devastated by his death, especially since Brooke learned she was carrying Tad's child. Plans were made for their second wedding, but on the day of the wedding, Tad and Billy Clyde got into a fight (Billy Clyde had a bomb), and they both tumbled off a bridge and into the raging river. Tad and Dixie reunited, however, after Tad rescued Dixie from nutcase Billy Clyde Tuggle, who wanted Dixie as his bride, and had kidnapped her when she turned him down. When Dixie learned of his tryst with Brooke, she divorced him. Reeling from the loss of Dixie, Tad fell into bed with his old friend Brooke. Palmer paid a woman to say she had slept with Tad when Dixie heard this, she separated from him. They were married and Dixie was finally "the love of Tad's life." Opal and Palmer (Tad's mother and Dixie's uncle, respectively), however, were not content to let the lovebirds live a happy life, and set about breaking them up. When Tad returned in 1988, he had a brief affair with Barbara Montgomery, after which he met and fell in love with little southern innocent Dixie Cooney, whom he rescued from the evil Adam Chandler. He married the then-single Hillary, but she soon divorced him when she learned of his knowledge of the Wade Matthews scam on her Aunt Phoebe. In 1986, Tad finally got his act together. Dottie had a miscarriage, unbeknownst to Tad, while Hillary married Tad's best friend. Hillary convinced Tad to "do the right thing" and marry Dottie. Upon learning this, Dottie quit her birth control and became pregnant with Tad's child. While thus ensnared, he met and fell in love with the adorably sweet, Hillary Wilson. In 1984, Tad was paid to date Dottie Thornton by her mother, Edna Thornton. His first affairs were with the young, innocent Liza Colby and her man-eating mother, Marian (simultaneously). Tad returned to Pine Valley in 1983, a much wiser and street-smart con artist. After wrecking the family wagon, Tad ran away from home.
In 1981, Tad was a troubled pot-smoking teen who stole to support his habit. They refused, he raped Ruth, she pressed charges and Ray went to jail. Ray Gardner came back to Pine Valley to "sell" Tad for $15,000 to the Martins. In 1975, Ruth and Joe Martin became his legal guardians until his natural parents could be located. In 1973, a 10 year-old Tad Martin was pushed out of the car and abandoned by his evil father, Ray Gardner, in a park near Pine Valley. He is one of the very few actors to be nominated in younger, supporting, and lead actor categories, all while portraying the same character.
He won the Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actor twice in 19, and won the Supporting Actor trophy in 2001. Knight has won three Daytime Emmys for his portrayal of Tad Martin. Under secrecy, Knight returned for the first-season finale of Prospect Park's version of All My Children on September 2, 2013. His relationship with Dixie Cooney made them a favorite of fans, reaching supercouple status. He is perhaps the best male friend to Erica Kane. Tad represents the good on the show, often butting heads with "villains" like Adam Chandler.
