Season 1[]

While Celia Machado and Blake Carrington were engaged to be married, Celia met Matthew in his car and they ended up kissing, which Fallon had Michael photograph and sent to Blake. As a result, Blake offered Matthew a large amount of money to re-locate to China and stay away from their family, but he refused, saying no amount of money could make him leave behind the people he loves. He was later killed by a mysterious explosion while working for Carrington Atlantic on land purchased by Jeff and Fallon, but with machinery operated by Carrington Atlantic. 

Matthew's murder was then pinned on Willy Santiago by Stansfield in an effort to "close the case" as to not incriminate himself for stealing Matthew's cell phone from evidence, but during the Carringtons' Thanksgiving dinner, it is revealed that his wife, Claudia Blaisdel, killed him after finding out he'd had an affair and faked her brain damage.

When Claudia was in the mental institution, it appeared to be that Matthew was alive as he appeared to her and helped her escape.[1] However, it was soon revealed in Dead Scratch that Matthew's presence was all part of Claudia's hallucinations, and he wasn't actually there. While Claudia saw Matthew standing in front of Celia, he wasn't actually there. He faded away when she shot at him and it was revealed she unintentionally had shot Celia.
