One reason fans love soap operas is the never-ending drama.
What usually causes that heightened drama is the question of love.
Characters cycle in and out of relationships faster than you could say “betrayal.”
One of those characters is Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) from “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
Taylor Hayes started on the soap in 1990 when the character was played by Hunter Tylo.
Krista Allen took over the role permanently in 2021.
Taylor is the daughter of Sharon Ashford and Jack Hamilton (Chris Robinson).
Blake could not let her go and followed her to Los Angeles to get her back.
Convincing Taylor he wasn’t violent anymore, she gave him a chance and they slept together.
Taylor stayed by Ridge’s side, so Blake attempted to move on with Margo.
Taylor rejected Blake again, and Karen was rescued from where she was being held.
Blake left town soon after and has not appeared on-screen since.
They slept together, under the assumption that neither would make it out alive.
Both Taylor and James survived the accident, but Taylor felt guilty for cheating on Ridge.
She left a letter detailing what had happened, but it was intercepted and never reached Ridge.
She wed Omar Rashid while still married to Ridge
Third time’s the charm, right?
Not in Taylor’s case.
Omar brought her to his palace and took care of her until she woke up.
Since Taylor had no memory, she stayed in the palace and Omar called her Laila.
When she found out that her father had suffered a heart attack, Omar let her go see him.
Little did he know thatTaylor disguised herself and nursed an injured Ridge after he had been in an explosion.
Even though they were still legally married, Ridge left Taylor for Brooke and Omar returned to Morocco.
Taylor married Ridge again in 1998
Taylor’s fourth husband was one she had seen before.
Brooke had tampered with the paternity test results and lied about them to Ridge.
Alas, nothing good ever lasts on soap operas.
Their relationship started as a professional one, with Taylor giving Nick psychiatric treatment.
The two fell in love and Taylor supported Nick when he was framed for murder.
They got married soon after and were very happy together.
Once they were married, the pair had a child through in vitro fertilization.
Nick confessed his lingering feelings for Brooke and divorced Taylor.
Feeling like she was losing to Brooke once again, Taylor fought Nick for custody of their son.
Whip convinced her to give him a chance, and they fell in love and married despite that complication.
The honeymoon phase was short-lived for Whip and Taylor.
