Hunter Tylo

[6] In 1984, credited as Deborah Morehart, Tylo appeared in the sorority slasher film The Initiation with future Melrose Place actress Daphne Zuniga.

The character was an antagonist who caused trouble for one of the soap's most popular couples, Steven "Patch" Johnson and Kayla Brady.

[citation needed] Discouraged by her lack of success on soap operas, Tylo decided to quit acting and enrolled at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York, intending to be a pre-med student.

[8] As she and her husband were preparing to move to New York City permanently, she was offered the role of Dr. Taylor Hayes on The Bold and the Beautiful.

[11] In 1996, Tylo was cast in the primetime soap opera Melrose Place and opted to leave The Bold and the Beautiful to take the role.

Prior to trial, during the discovery phase of the litigation, Tylo's lawyers won a partial victory in an interlocutory appeal challenging a lower court's order compelling her to answer a broad range of personal questions.

The Court of Appeal established Tylo's right to refuse to answer questions in her deposition about marital problems and psychological treatment, although the Court sustained the portion of the order which compelled her to answer questions about her efforts to become pregnant, her husband's ability or inability to impregnate her, and communications with her agent with respect to her efforts and ability to become pregnant.

The couple had one son, Michael Edward "Mickey" Tylo Jr (22 April 1988) and two daughters, Izabella Gabrielle (November 12, 1996) and Katya Ariel (January 15, 1998).

[15] The Clark County Coroner concluded that Michael Tylo Jr.'s death was caused by "drowning due to seizure disorder" and was ruled accidental.

[17] In October 2008 the order was terminated by Tylo stating that Cofield was "...actively been taking parenting classes and has attended family and couple's therapy".

Archila has been convicted for three counts of spousal abuse, auto theft, drug paraphernalia, misrepresentation by false identity, and hiding a criminal past.

[14][21] She attributes her daughter Katya's recovery from cancer to constant prayer and credits her faith for helping her deal with the death of her son, Michael.
