Brief Character History
Tammy, a lifetime resident of Port Charles, first appeared when she came into
Luke's bar for a drink. He hired her to listen to his personal problems, and
they developed a bond.
Tammy continued to appear sporadically in the following months. Tony and
Alan, both going through their own personal nightmares (Tony was the town
pariah; Alan was a pill addict, thrown out by the Q's and living on the seedy
side of town), each hired her, and whatever their intentions might have been,
both followed Luke's pattern of using Tammy as a confidant and friend.
As the months went by, bits and pieces of Tammy's past were revealed. We
found out she used to work at Sonny's strip joint (Club Paradise) when she
greeted him warmly upon running into him in Kelly's. In the midst of Alan's
drug agonies, Tammy confessed she had once been addicted to diet pills, but
managed to kick the habit. She told Felicia her career went from stripping,
to occasional escorting on the side, to hooking.
After Jason Morgan turned his territory over to Moreno, the mobster roughly
seized control of the prostitution business, having Tammy beaten for refusing
to give his "organization" part of her earnings. Felicia (researching the
poor side of town for a novel) stumbled upon her in the hotel she was staying
at, and left Tammy to recuperate while she went to find husband/police
commisioner, Mac. A henchman of Moreno's drugged Tammy (thinking she was the
police commisioner's wife), put her into bed with a murdered drug dealer, and
rubbed his hands in glee at the possible blackmail ahead. Alan, staying in a
nearby room, discovered the scene and confessed to the murder in order to
protect Tammy.
After this mess was sorted out, Tammy agreed to serve as the basis for the
heroine in Felicia's novel (one of several Felicia novels which was never
written). A few months later, the owner and manager of Kelly's, Ruby, died.
Tammy bristled at Alan's suggestion she consider taking a job there, but
after much persuasion from Luke and Felicia while the 3 were trapped in
Luke's club during a blizzard, she agreed to manage Ruby's diner and boarding
house. The customers accepted her and her generous cooking skills
immediately.
On the romantic front: Tammy helped Alan and estranged wife Monica reunite. A grief-stricken Luke used her for sex (in his own club no less) after Lucky's death, but harshly dismissed her as a one-night stand the next day. They quickly patched up their friendship. Tammy went out on a few friendly dates with Tony, but her interest lied in Sonny's father, Mike Corbin. They dated off and on for a few years, the relationship only undergoing strain when Mike temporarily disappeared upon accumulating serious gambling debts.
Tammy befriended young boarder Hannah Scott, but refused to forgive her after
learning Hannah was secretly an FBI agent using those around her to help
build a case against Sonny Corinthos.
Tammy vanished in early 2001 without explanation. Her relationship with Mike,
presence in Kelly's, and very existence are now just a memory.
