Recently, she played Dahlia Ventura on As the World Turns and Ramona Hendon on Guiding Light before the producers of B&B asked Dion to come back for a guest spot in the role of Felicia. One guest appearance led to another, and she was quickly integrated into the storyline, earning a place in the new opening credits even though her temporary contract ran out in late September 2004. She continued to work on the show even though her home is in New York City (B&B tapes in Los Angeles). Although she enjoyed being back on B&B the commute from one coast to another proved too difficult and she decided to exit the show in December 2004.
