During her years in the carnival, Myrtle began dating Marcello Angelini, an acrobat of the Angelini Brothers, from [[Naples]]. The two were in love and wanted to marry but Marcello's brother had arranged for him to marry another woman from a circus family in [[Italy]]. By the time that she found out that she was pregnant with [[Rae Cummings]], he had already married. She gave the baby up for adoption and sometime later Marcello died after doing a dangerous stunt and his brother failed to catch him. |

===Arriving in Pine Valley=== |
|||
Myrtle Lum comes to [[Pine Valley, Pennsylvania]] as a former carny and a somewhat partner-in-crime to [[Phoebe Tyler Wallingford]], as she is trying to break up her son, Lincoln's, marriage to Kitty Shea. She is to pose as her mother, Mrs. Lucy Carpenter. However, a real bond of affection blooms between Kitty and Myrtle. Naturally, the scheme fails, and Phoebe is defeated again. Kitty is dying of a brain disease, and Myrtle and Lincoln vow to make her last months happy ones. They do, and Kitty dies at peace. Myrtle meets a man named Nigel Fargate and eventually marries him, away from Pine Valley. When Nigel dies, Myrtle returns to Pine Valley. |
|||
She owns the Boutique, a clothing store that is owned by Lincoln's late sister, Ann Tyler, and also owns a boarding house in Pine Valley. She is best friends with Phoebe's former rival, [[Mona Kane Tyler]], and when Mona dies, she becomes the surrogate mother to [[Erica Kane]] (to Myrtle's mind and heart, Erica is ''her girl''). She is also the surrogate grandmother to Erica's children, [[Kendall Hart Slater|Kendall Hart]], [[Josh Madden]] and [[Bianca Montgomery]] (Bianca once stayed at Myrtle's boarding house, where she was raped by [[Michael Cambias]]). She functions in a great grandmotherly capacity to [[Miranda Montgomery]], [[Spike Lavery]] and [[Ian Slater]] as well, Kendall and Bianca's children. As such, she is often considered a member of the Kane-Montgomery family. She also functions as a mother figure to [[Zach Slater]], Kendall's husband, when he needs some clarity in his life. Her last scene on June 23, 2008 was giving Zach advice at his Cambias office. The character's run ended on October 8, 2008. with the actress' passing due to [[pneumonia]]. |
