History
Megan, the youngest daughter of Keith Dennison and the younger sister of Tricia Dennison, was a college student before getting an apprenticeship at the Genoa City Chronicle. Megan had been dating Alec Moretti (Andre Khabbazi) for a while, but he wanted their relationship to be more serious than Megan did, so she broke it off with him. Megan then met the older mechanic Tony Viscardi at Crimson Lights Coffee House, and she was instantly attracted to him. Tony, who had just broken up with the manipulative Grace Turner, thought that Megan was a breath of fresh air. Megan's uptight father and sister both disapproved of Tony, believing him to be unworthy of Megan. A defiant Megan told them that she didn't care what they thought of Tony, and she moved in with him.

When Tony and Megan were arrested for unknowingly driving a stolen car, Tony begged the District Attorney Glenn Richards to get Megan off. He did, and eventually, Grace posted Tony's bail, and Tony moved back in with her. Tony soon admitted his feelings to Megan, and they got back together. At Keith's request before he left town, Tricia vowed to break Tony and Megan up. She teamed up with Grace, but the two were unsuccessful in breaking up the pair. Tricia then began to pretend to accept Tony. Everyone except Megan saw through the charade. The tension between Tricia and Tony finally erupted on New Year's Eve. During a physical fight between the two of them, Tricia stopped and violently kissed Tony.

As Tricia became increasingly psychotic, Tony resolved to marry Megan quickly. A small group of the couple's friends congregated with the Justice of the Peace for the wedding, with Sharon Newman and Nina Webster standing up for Tony and Megan. Sharon's daughter, Cassie Newman, was the flower girl. Megan arrived, but she was horrified when Tony didn't show up. Tony had been run down on his motorcycle by Tricia, as she blindly backed out of the Dennison driveway in a desperate rush to stop the wedding.

Tony was rushed to hospital, and he married Megan moments before he died. Megan, furious with Tricia for killing her husband, left town and attended college at Boston University. Tricia and Keith went to Megan's graduation ceremony. Megan traveled through Europe before settling down in Boston, while her sister was institutionalized, and her father subsequently left Genoa City for an unknown location.
