Kelly starts West Beverly with a jaded soul. Along the way, she gains the romantic attention of many, but begins to cherish a select few. A survivor of several perils and personal challenges, Kelly is presented as a young woman who grows from self-absorbed teenage beginnings toward a gradually more sensitive and mature adulthood. Kelly met Steve Sanders and Dylan McKay when they were each children, and would know both of them well into her adult years - initially dating the former, while harboring a recurring crush on the latter. Her father was largely absent during her childhood. Kelly is the daughter of Jackie and Bill Taylor.
