[edit] Relationships

[edit] Blake Hayes

Taylor's entire marriage to Blake Hayes (Peter Brown) happened off-screen, before Taylor was introduced. She had left him due to mental illness and abusive nature. Blake arrived in LA, determined to win her back, in 1991. After several failed attempts to break up Ridge and Taylor, with the help of Margo Lynley MacClaine (Lauren Koslow), Blake left town.

[edit] Ridge Forrester

Taylor was originally introduced as Ridge's then-wife Caroline Spencer's (Joanna Johnson) psychiatrist. When Caroline died of leukemia, Taylor began dating Ridge, whom she had been in love with months before Caroline's death. Ridge and Taylor married in 1992, but when Taylor was presumed dead in a plane crash in 1994, Ridge married Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), who became her main arch-rival. Taylor was revealed to be alive, and she soon returned to LA. This devastated Brooke as it meant that her marriage to Ridge was invalid. However, Ridge chose Brooke over Taylor and divorced Taylor. After Ridge annulled his marriage to Brooke, Ridge and Taylor re-married, and in 1998, celebrated the birth of their first child, Thomas (Drew Tyler Bell). In 1999, Taylor gave birth to twin girls, Phoebe (MacKenzie Mauzy) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Taylor "died" for the second time in 2002, when she was shot by Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). She was revealed to be alive in May 2005, and she and Ridge (who had again married Brooke during Taylor's absence) reunited, before splitting in January 2006. Taylor and Ridge continue to remain friends.

[edit] Storm Logan

In 1990, Taylor became romantically involved with a former high school classmate of hers, Storm Logan. He came to Los Angeles to practice law and the two began a romantic relationship, but at the same time, she was in love with Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss). Shortly after their engagement ended, Storm left Los Angeles to move to San Francisco to practice law.

[edit] Eric Forrester

Taylor briefly had a fling with Eric Forrester (John McCook), but kept that from his wife Stephanie (Susan Flannery).

[edit] James Warwick

While married to Ridge, in 1993, Taylor became friendly with her mentor, Dr. James Warwick (Ian Buchanan). When the two were trapped in a blizzard at Big Bear and believed that they would die, the virginal James begged Taylor to make love to him before they died. She complied, but they survived and Taylor kept their tryst a secret for years. In early 2006, she finally revealed the truth to Ridge, who was furious with her for being a hypocrite by attacking Brooke for making similar mistakes with men. Ridge ended his relationship to Taylor and returned to his one true love Brooke Logan the mother of his son R.J. Forrester and his adopted daughter Hope Logan.

[edit] Prince Omar

After Taylor's 1994 plane crash, she was rescued from the wreckage by Prince Omar Rashid (Kabir Bedi) of Morocco and taken back to his palace. Omar renamed an amnesiac Taylor "Laila". Taylor slowly regained her memory and wished to return to Ridge, but Omar explained that he was happily married to Brooke. Taylor agreed to stay with Omar and married him in his palace. Taylor returned to LA when her father had a heart attack with Omar but later decided to remain in LA for good sending a heartbroken Omar back to his palace alone.

Taylor was supposedly shot dead in October 2002. In May 2005 it was revealed that she had not died, but was, in fact, comatose. Omar had kidnapped her from the hospital, replacing her with an extremely convincing dummy, and taken her back to the palace. When she awoke from the coma, she escaped from the palace, with the help of Dante Damiano (Antonio Sabato, Jr.), and returned to LA.

[edit] Thorne Forrester

When a very drunk Taylor accidentally ran over and killed his wife Darla (Schae Harrison) on a foggy night in July 2006, Thorne (Winsor Harmon) turned to Taylor for support, not knowing that it was Taylor who had killed his wife. A guilty Taylor wanted to confess, but Phoebe and Hector insisted that she stay quiet, for fear that she would go to jail. Taylor developed a bond with Thorne and his daughter Aly (Harley Graham), but when Thorne proposed to her, she confessed to him that she was the one who had run over Darla. Thorne was furious at first, but eventually testified for Taylor in court, this leading to her being set free. Thorne and Taylor became engaged, but broke off the engagement when it became clear that Aly, who had recently discovered the truth about Darla's accident, did not want Taylor as a stepmother.

[edit] Nick Marone

During therapy sessions with Nick, Taylor bonded with him. They became engaged in March 2007 and began trying to conceive a child. Brooke, Nick's ex-wife (also the love of his life), became determined to win Nick back. In April 2007, they were told by Dr. Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) that Taylor could no longer conceive, and they have now conceived via IVF. However, they are unaware that Brooke's eggs may have been mistakenly implanted in Taylor. Bridget was told by the chief of staff that Brooke's eggs were taken out at 7:35 to be defrosted and the donor eggs were mixed with Nick's sperm at 7:40, so there was no way that Brooke's eggs could have been implanted into Taylor. Taylor and Nick married on May 1, 2007, and Taylor gave birth to a son, Jack Hamilton Marone on October 15. A DNA test was run after Jack was born, which proved that Brooke was in fact his biological mother. Brooke reassured a livid Taylor that Jack was Taylor's son, not Brooke's, and signed away her parental rights. Taylor wasn't in a hurry so she did not sign the papers immediately. Eventually she did, but she is still having problems bonding with baby Jack. She has now left Nick and baby Jack due to Nick's unresolved feelings for Brooke. She lost custody of baby Jack to Nick. After that, she unleashed her rage at Nick and Brooke, blaming her squarely for her troubles. This caused her to drink some more, and was about to drink a large bottle of vodka, until Rick Forrester (Kyle Lowder) put a stop to her self-destructive binge, and she broke down sobbing in his arms.

[edit] Rick Forrester

After she lost custody of Baby Jack to Nick, Rick and Taylor came close. Rick began to support Taylor and showed her what an incredible woman she is. Rick kissed Taylor several times, but she stopped him, when she realizes that it would break her daughter's heart. But when Taylor gets into a fight with Brooke, Rick takes her side and says to her, that he loves her and kisses Taylor in front of his mother. Rick has defied Brooke and taken Taylor's side when his mother proclaims that she will take custody of Jack from her. Rick and Taylor presented papers to a horrified Brooke proclaiming that they will fight her for custody. This has placed Brooke and Taylor, who have always been rivals, even farther apart than ever before. Rick recently asked Taylor to marry him. Taylor is considering Rick's proposal but is worried over how her daughter (who had dated Rick) would react.

Thanks to Rick ,Taylor has been granted joint custody of Jack and Phoebe has found out about their relationship. Taylor has now broken it off with Rick due to her daughter's feelings and she is now afraid that Phoebe will never forgive her.

In a surprise U-turn, Phoebe told Taylor that she would not stand in her mother and Rick's way. Rick then proposed to Taylor again, who accepted so long as Thomas and Steffy agreed. Steffy returned and gave her mother her blessing. ==Family and Relationship==
