Margo Lynley is the faithful assistant of the acclaimed fashion designer, Eric Forrester of Forrester Creations. After a brief relationship with his son—the playboy heir apparent, Ridge—she works up the nerve to tell Eric how she feels, but Eric doesn't return her affections. Eric's wife, Stephanie, who has long suspected there is something between her husband and his assistant, is pleased when Margo quits Forrester.
She tends to have relationships with men who are clashing with one or more of the Forresters. She dates (and eventually marries) the publishing tycoon, Bill Spencer, who opposes the marriage between his daughter, Caroline, and Ridge. She is the "other woman" between Kristen Forrester (Eric and Stephanie's daughter) and her husband, the scheming Forrester designer, Clarke Garrison, with whom she gets pregnant. She dates Blake Hayes, who tries to break up the marriage between his ex-wife (Dr. Taylor Hayes) and Ridge.
Her estranged brother, Jake Maclaine, shows up in Los Angeles. He is unwelcome until she discovers why he had suddenly left their Wisconsin home without word years before. Their father, Ben, was sexually molesting him. But Margo figures out that it was their Uncle Charlie (Ben's brother), not Ben, who was visiting Jake's bedroom in the dark. The drama leads to a heart attack for Ben and suicide for Uncle Charlie.
The character was written out of the show in 1992 but brought back in 2002 for a new storyline involving her son, Mark Maclaine, who is now old enough to be a doctor. Dr. Maclaine wants to reconnect with his father, an idea Margo opposes. Margo eventually returns to New York, where she works at the Corday/Langan fashion house, the name being a tongue-in-cheek reference to Ken Corday and Tom Langan, the producers of Days of Our Lives, the soap opera on which Lauren Koslow was (and is) a contract player.
