Taylor joins her husband Angelo in Summer Bay, where he is working on a homicide case. She befriends Colby Thorne and later tells him that Angelo was annoyed by him. Colby overhears an argument between Angelo and Taylor, so when he comes across Taylor at the local restaurant, he offers her comfort. Angelo later tells Taylor that his investigation has come to a standstill, so Taylor tries to get him to spend time with her. Colby invites Taylor for coffee, where he flirts and flatters her. He introduces her to gym manager Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts), who offers to help Taylor get some new clients. After Angelo cancels their dinner plans to concentrate on a new lead in the case, Taylor visits Colby at home and offers him a massage to say thank you. The pair kiss, but are interrupted by Colby's sister Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller). When Angelo leaves town to chase up a lead, Taylor and Colby have sex at a motel. They begin an affair as Taylor continues to feel neglected by Angelo. When Taylor realises that Willow, Bella and Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Connor) know about the affair, she tries to end it.
