Storylines
Lynn fell for Jonah Carver, but she eventually gave up on him when she realized that he had a thing for his sister-in-law Lexie Carver. When she learned about Sami Brady's 'love' for Austin Reed, she told her about a drug that she had used in the past to get a guy into bed with her (a form of date rape drug). Sami used this drug to seduce Austin, and when Lynn learned that Sami was pregnant, she blackmailed her. Sami managed to get Lucas Horton to pull some strings and have Lynn sent off to an exotic location, but by 1996, she was back, hired by Kate Roberts to look after Victor Kiriakis, who had become catatonic after having a stroke. She returned to blackmailing Sami and Lucas, and when they ran out of money, she turned them in to Kate.
After her time with the Kiriakis family was finished, Lynn took a position working for Stefano DiMera. He hired her to act as Laura Horton's private nurse, and to keep supplying her with pills that would suppress her memories (she knew that Peter Blake was alive, and that Kristen DiMera wasn't really pregnant). Even though Laura told Lynn she didn't need her or the pills anymore, she was under Stefano's orders to keep Laura too drugged to talk, which then led to Laura being unconscious for a long period of time. After not hearing from Stefano in quite some time, Lynn asked Kristen what she should do. Kristen (who was in fact Susan Banks impersonating Kristen) told Lynn to take Laura off the drugs, which she did. Later, when Lynn learned that Stefano had returned to town and was planning to kidnap Laura, she helped Laura escape from the hospital, as she had begun to feel badly for her. Lynn then mysteriously disappeared.
