Taylor McBride joined the cast of Melrose Place at the start of the 5th season. She and husband, Kyle, moved from Boston to L.A. They took their restaurant business with them and opened up "Kyle's" in L.A. Taylor, while in Boston, read a newspaper article about Dr. Peter Burns. Yet, still unknown to viewers her connection to the doctor, she moved to L.A. to seek him out. It was later revealed that she is his sister-in-law. Peter was married to Taylor's dead sister, Beth Davis. Taylor wanted to have Peter all to herself. There was only one problem; he was married to Amanda Woodward. Taylor and Peter had an affair. When Amanda and Kyle found out, they divorced their spouses and started a romance of their own. Peter then became obsessive and wanted Taylor to basically be Beth (dress like her, act like her, etc..) Taylor played along, but grew weary of it. She wanted to bring Peter to the ultimate low. She enlisted Michael Mancini's help and together they made Peter believe he has rage epilepsy & that he hit Taylor. When Peter found out Mike and Taylor were lying, he pushed Mike through glass and took Taylor on a secret getaway. As Peter was about to push Taylor off a lighthouse balcony, she announced that she was pregnant. She later told Peter to keep his mouth shut, since she is playing it off as Kyle's child.
