History
The Young and the Restless
Timothy, whom Phyllis called Tim, was the psychiatrist of Phyllis Romalotti. Phyllis told him her most deep secrets, from disappointments in her childhood to her current life problems. Tim slept with Phyllis after she seduced him, and she used the videotape of their lovemaking to blackmail him to testify on her behalf in court during the trial to end her marriage to Danny Romalotti. Tim later recanted his testimony, which resulted in the confiscation of his psychiatrist's license. After her marriage to Danny was over, Phyllis used Tim to make Danny jealous, even though Danny was never aware who Phyllis was sleeping with. Tim proposed to Phyllis and she accepted, but nothing came out of that after Danny wanted Phyllis back. Evidently, Tim dropped off canvas.

Fifteen years after being unseen in Genoa City, Tim was contacted by Ricky Williams after he found Tim's business card in Phyllis's home. Tim told Ricky he didn't ever want to hear Phyllis's name again, but Ricky was able to convince Tim to tell him about his history with Phyllis, and he then stole Phyllis' therapy file from his apartment. Tim then told Ricky to look into the events of Christmas 1994, when Phyllis ran over Christine Blair and Ricky's father Paul Williams with her car. Afterward, Tim was reported missing and the news hit Genoa City, earning the attention of Paul and Phyllis' sister, Avery. Phyllis later told Avery that she paid Tim to leave town permanently in order to cover up the hit-and-run incident from eighteen years earlier. His neighbor Beth placed a call to him and he was seen on some sort of vacation, informing him of recent developments about Phyllis. Ronan Malloy, by tapping into Beth's phone records, then discovered Dr. Tim and brought him back to Genoa City where he, along with Michael Baldwin and Heather Stevens, questioned him. He revealed that Phyllis paid him to get out of town to keep her secrets safe. As a favor to Heather, who was also Ricky's sister, he talked to Paul about his son and his character. Tim then revealed to Phyllis that he had a recording of her admitting to the hit and run during a therapy session, and begun to blackmail her again by making her transfer large sums of money into an offshore bank account. Despite having the money, all Tim really wanted was a sexual encounter with Phyllis. She became so desperate that she had to tap into her daughter's trust find, leading her husband, Nicholas Newman, to find out what she had done and her sister quit as her legal counsel. Even as Nick told her by giving in to Tim's blackmail she strengthened the prosecution's case, she agreed to spending an evening with him as a final option to keep him quiet. Her plan was not to sleep with Tim, but drug him to fall asleep so he would believe they did. Unbeknownst to Phyllis, before she could drug him, Tim took a large amount of erectile dysfunction pills, which made him have a heart attack and die in front of her. Afterward, Phyllis enlisted the help of Kevin Fisher to dispose of Tim's body at his apartment, to make it look like he died whilst at home.

The Bold and the Beautiful
In 2001, Tim moved to Los Angeles, where he was found by Morgan DeWitt, a woman he knew from when they were young. Morgan seduced Tim and convinced him that it was okay what she did—chained Taylor Hayes in the basement. They slept together and had an agreement to move Taylor from the basement to the living room. Once Taylor was free, the couple ran away, but Morgan had to return and ended up captured.
