She first came on the scene in 1990 when she was counseling Ridge and Caroline. The latter was dying of cancer.\u00a0 Ridge took an interest in Taylor after that, which didn&#8217;t set well with Brooke.\u00a0 Brooke and Taylor had a triangle for many years as he bounced back and forth between the two women.\u00a0 At first, Taylor was set up as the &#8220;good girl&#8221; and Brooke was the bad.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor was presumed dead after a plane crash; she was mugged and lost her memory.\u00a0 She woke up in the palace of a Moroccan Prince, who called her Laila. She recovered her memory and eventually was let go when she learned that her father, Jack, had a heart attack.\u00a0 At some point, Taylor&#8217;s family learned she was alive, but Ridge and Brooke stayed together. Taylor left town and came back.\u00a0 She was upset over losing Ridge, got drunk and set herself on fire. She was in a short relationship with Thorne, who cared for her and helped her heal. It didn&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor and Ridge lived happily for a while with Thomas, and then she was pregnant with twins. She also had TB, so she almost died giving birth to Steffy and Phoebe. Taylor befriended a crazy woman named Morgan, who ended up faking Steffy&#8217;s death by shark attack. She tried to steal Steffy until Ridge rescued her.\u00a0 Later, Taylor died again after being shot by Sheila. This time her death was faked by Prince Omar, who wanted her back. She escaped and reunited with her family once again.<\/p>\n<p>After some more problems with Brooke, and other men, Taylor confessed to Ridge that she had kissed a man named Hector and had previously slept with fellow psychiatrist James. Ridge yelled at her for being a hypocrite, since she was always criticizing Brooke and acting like a saint.\u00a0 Taylor started drinking heavily.\u00a0 She was driving to help a stranded Phoebe when she accidentally hit Darla, who was changing a tire, with her car.\u00a0 Several people told her to keep quiet about her part in it. She got involved with Thorne and his daughter out of guilt. She eventually did tell Thorne the truth and went to jail.\u00a0 Thorne forgave her and asked the court to do the same, soshe\u00a0 was let out. They were going to marry, but Aly was against it, so they called it off.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor has counseled many people over the years, including Stephanie, who remembed that she was abused by her father. Taylor urged her to confront her mother, Anne.\u00a0 She got involved with Nick, Ridge&#8217;s half-brother, who was also a patient.\u00a0 They had a baby, Jack, through in vitro fertilization. She later learned that Brooke was the egg donor and that Nick still had feelings for Brooke.\u00a0 Taylor couldn&#8217;t bond with Jack, so she let Brooke raise him.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor was heavily involved in her children&#8217;s lives after that. She dated Rick, who had been dating Phoebe. Phoebe and Rick got into a terrible car accident when they were arguing about his dating Steffy. Phoebe died.\u00a0 Taylor and Ridge got back together, but Brooke stopped them from remarrying. After some therapy (of sorts), Taylor and Brooke made peace. Taylor was married to Brooke&#8217;s ex, Whip, for awhile, but he divorced her after realizing she still loved Ridge.\u00a0 Taylor seemed to find some peace and happiness when Brooke and Ridge married again, and she moved on with Thorne, but it didn&#8217;t last.\u00a0 Taylor treated many of the show&#8217;s characters over the years, including Bill and Katie.\u00a0\u00a0 Taylor was close to Stephanie and was upset when she died of cancer. Taylor was involved with Eric for a while, too.\u00a0 After that, she moved to Paris to be with Steffy.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor returned in 2014 and found that Aly was having mental health issues, so she treated her and also admitted her role in Darla&#8217;s death.\u00a0 She was gone for awhile, again, but reappeared in 2018. She had flown back from Paris to shoot Bill after hearing from Ridge that Bill had forced himself on Steffy (which wasn&#8217;t true). Steffy begged Bill not to turn her mother in, and Taylor got therapy of her own.\u00a0 Despite the therapy, Taylor is back to having arguments with Brooke and trying to manipulate their children.\u00a0 When word got out that Taylor had shot Bill, the Forresters and Logans were worried about Taylor being around the babies. However, Steffy still trusted her mother and invited her to move in with her.\u00a0 Taylor met charming Dr. Reese Buckingham and formed a friendship. She helped Steffy adopt a little girl, that she bought from Reese (not realizing that it was Hope&#8217;s presumed-dead baby, Beth).\u00a0 Steffy named her Phoebe.<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Taylor hasn&#8217;t been seen on the show since this happened.
