Q: How many times have Tad and Dixie been married?

A: Three. The couple first fell in love in 1989 and were married after Tad proposed in a chicken suit. Thanks to Dixie's meddling Uncle Palmer, they divorced shortly after. Like any supercouple, they eventually found their way back to each other and were set to get married again in 1990. Unfortunately, Tad fell off a bridge and was presumed dead. In true soap opera fashion, he returned to town (and from the grave) in 1992 with amnesia. Once he got his memory back, Dixie was married to Brian Bodine. Dixie and Brian split, but Tad eventually married Brooke (the mother of his son, Jamie). Soon after, Tad and Dixie couldn't deny their feelings anymore and began an affair. They were eventually married again in 1994. Two years later, Tad cheated on Dixie with Liza and she filed for divorce and fled town. In 1998, she returned and yet again the "together forever" couple found their way back to each other. In 1999, they married for the third time, but divorced (again) in 2002.
