Tiffany was created as a new love interest for established character; Chris Warner.
While in charge of the hospital, Chris Warner (Michael Galvin) hired Tiffany, much to the annoyance of the other nurses. There was a spark between the two but Tiffany started a romance with Billy (Darren Young) who left her with hepatitis C following his drug use. Manipulative nurse Carla Crozier (Elizabeth Easther) started to blackmail Tiffany and she soon got back together with Billy and the two got engaged. They broke up and Tiffany got together with Chris. The two married in 1996 and Chris left the country, with the couple starting a long distance romance.
In 1997 Tiffany broke it off with Chris following finding him cheating with Alison Raynor (Danielle Cormack). The two divorced and Tiffany started a relationship with Johnny Marinovich (Stelios Yiakmis) but broke up with him when she believed he was a child molester. Tiffany fell into a coma as a result of her hepatitis and Johnny prayed for her to wake as he had discovered he loved her. The two got together in 1998 and Tiffany fell pregnant. The couple married only for Tiffany to fall from a high rise building while helping a suicidal jumper. Tiffany was declared brain dead but the baby was saved and Tiffany's life support was turned off. Johnny named her Maria and the two left Ferndale.
Tiffany has been described as a "hot pary girl".[1]
