In 1989, she was cast as Marina Toscano, the half-sister of Isabella Toscano, on Days of Our Lives. The character was an antagonist who caused trouble for one of the soap's most popular couples, Steven "Patch" Johnson and Kayla Brady. Tylo later said, "Everyone hated my character.[...] I hated her. They [producers] said they were going to do something with her, but they never did. [...] I dreaded going to work for the last few weeks I was on the show." The character was later killed off and Tylo left the series in 1990.
