In 1989, Hunter Tylo made her Days of Our Lives debut as Marina Toscano, the previously unknown, presumed-dead first wife of Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), whose arrival invalidated supercouple Steve and Kayla's 1988 wedding. Marina was deeply unpopular with the audience, who resented her third-party interference in Steve and Kayla's bliss. The character was killed off in April 1990, but Tylo wasn't on the job market very long — she was quickly snapped up to play Dr. Taylor Hayes on Bold and Beautiful.
