Career

She later rose to prominence as a regular on soap operas such as Melrose Place. ‘All My Children,’ her debut TV series, premiered in 1985. However, due to her marriage to her co-star Michael Tylo, she is sacked from the show in 1988.
Similarly, she played Marina Toscano in ‘Days of Our Lives in 1989. It was a nasty character who caused problems for Steven “Patch” Johnson and Kayla Brady, the show’s most popular couple. Tylo later revealed that everyone, including herself, despised the persona. Despite the producers’ claims that they will do something to her character, they never did. Despite this, she hated returning to work for the final few weeks of the program before leaving in 1990 after her character was killed off.
She was later cast in the part of ‘Dr. Taylor Hayes’ on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ in 1990. She first refused to take the position because she was frustrated by her lack of success in soap operas. She had previously intended to stop acting and enrol at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York, with the goal of becoming a pre-med student. Later, while still obtaining her degree, she became involved in The Bold and the Beautiful in 1990.
As a result, she eventually gave up and began her career on the show. She then went on to complete her pre-medical degree. In the same year, she appeared as ‘Senora Del Reynoso’ in an episode of ‘Zorro’ titled ‘Family Business.’

She was cast as Heather in an episode of ‘Baywatch,’ titled ‘Windswept,’ in 1996. She also appeared in ‘Diagnosis: Murder’ as Claire McKenna.
She also returns to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ right away. ‘Making a Miracle,’ her autobiography, was published in 2000 and details her tribulations, including the infamous legal battle, her daughter’s cancer diagnosis and remission, and her son’s death. On the ‘New York Times Best Sellers’ list, it rose to number 35.
Later, in 2003, she guest-starred in ‘She Spies’ as Dr Marks. In the year 2004, she played Billie Jeeters in the TV film A Place Called Home and June in the film They Are Among Us. In addition, she played Amelia Lockhart in the film Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy, which she starred in in 2005.
In the 1996 primetime soap opera Melrose Place, she was set to play Taylor McBride. However, before any filming could begin, the opera’s producer, Aaron Spelling, sacked her. She was sacked because she revealed that she was pregnant at the time.
