Marcel Nadeau is the Lisa Durant's tenth husband, and father to Marcel Durant.

Background

Storylines
Lisa rebounds with a handsome man at a club and he later meets up with Dru... it’s her son, Marcel who has come to town to manage the family media company Emblem Group. Dru invites Lisa over for lunch and Marcel arrives. Marcel later compliments Lisa to Dru, and Dru tells him not to think about it. Marcel tells Dru that Monica is in Paris partying with her friends.

Dru gets drunk at a charity event that night and Marcel overhears her talk to some of her friends about how she doesn’t think Marcel will be able to manage the company. Marcel is furious and sleeps with Lisa again, but the next morning Lisa admits that they shouldn’t sleep together again.

Marcel complicates things when he buys the publishing company hoping to buy Lisa’s autobiography and buys the rights to the book, wanting to make it into a TV series instead. Lisa objects and Marcel tells Lisa that if she goes on a date with him, he might scrap the TV series idea. Lisa begrudgingly accepts, and the two have an awkward date in the CEOs office before she kisses him goodnight.

Months go by, now Lisa and Marcel are secretly sleeping together and are enjoying their clandestine relationship. At Kay and Ruby's wedding, Lisa and Marcel sneak off together to sleep together.

Lisa is slowly becoming dependent on Xanax and Marcel is clearly close to leaving her. She tries to trap him by stopping taking her birth control. When she gets pregnant and tells Marcel, his reaction makes her want to abort but she decides to tell him she’s been unfaithful but later stops herself, as she fears he’ll leave completely. Marcel gets used to being a father before telling Dru. Dru sees Lisa at a scan and questions her and has a double whopper - she’s pregnant and Marcel is the father.

Drucilla is furious that her friend and her son have betrayed her like this, and slaps Lisa. Lisa falls onto a table and this triggers her labour. Luckily, there are no complications, and Marcel Durant is born, but Marcel Snr bans Dru from seeing him. Lisa is struggling being a new mother and is taking Xanax to cope. Lisa passes out in the lobby of Emblem Group, and Drucilla nurses her back to normality. Lisa assures she’s fine and is helped by Dru to bed, but she springs into action when she hears Marcel say if she has an addiction, he’s taking Marcel and leaving town after hearing about her stint in rehab years ago. Lisa throws all the drugs into the trash and makes a plan...

On a date with Marcel, Lisa faints and her doctor comes over and immediately takes her to the hospital for tests. Lisa comes back to the cliff house (where the Nadeau family are staying temporarily) and breaks down in Marcel’s arms, and says that she has cancer, right in front of the photo of Tajj and Brody. Marcel promises to stick by Lisa and says he loves her. Lisa thanks her doctor for lying and arranges a bank transfer and heads to bed.

Marcel admits to Dru that he’s in too deep with Lisa to leave, and that he wants to make the next few months of her life stress free and commit to working on their relationship.

Dru and Marco elope alongside Lisa and Marcel and Marco collapses. At the hospital, a doctor informs Dru Marco has died, and Lisa feels incredibly guilty about her own lies.

Months go by, and Dru holds a memory service for Marco. Lisa comes clean re: lying about her condition. Marcel flips out, slaps Lisa and files for divorce.

At Lisa's party at the Coco Shack, Marcel catches Marco and Dru kissing passionately and runs to tell Lisa that Marco is cheating on her with Dru but she refuses to believe it. Marcel shows her a photo of them and she’s heartbroken and sleeps with Marcel. He is glad when Marco has to run away after documents are leaked revealing that he shot Tehzib Roosevelt's husband, Sean. He learns that Dru is going on a long vacation, and is saddened by his mother's departure.
