Roxy came to Llanview in 2001 claiming to be Jessica Buchanan's long lost mother. Having raised Natalie, unaware that Natalie had a twin in Jessica, Roxy found out that Jessica and Natalie had been switched at birth and tried to con everyone into believing that Roxy was her mother. When it later came out that Jessica and Natalie were twins, Roxy fought hard for Natalie's affection in order to rob her of her Buchanan inheritance! After executing a few more plots to obtain Natalie Buchanan's fortune, Roxy was finally faced with jail time, which in turn led her to turn over some of her late husband's papers proving that the switching of babies Jessica and Natalie was part of a plot to bring down Victoria Lord Buchanan.
Roxy left town for a bit and ran into fellow Llanview resident Max Holden in Vegas. With Roxy's love for partying and Max's gambling addiction, Roxy got Max plastered and the two married under the influence! With each day they spent back in Llanview, Max's disdain for Roxy grew ten times over. It wasn't until Roxy had been kidnapped and held hostage by Alison Perkins that Max turned his head and came up with a plan to divorce her for abandonment. However, Roxy escaped the holds of a crazy woman and showed up in court just in time and exposed Max's plan! When the judge gave Roxy the opportunity to divorce Max and take everything he owned, Roxy's love for the man won over and she refused the deal! Her love for Max would lead him into trying to pull the wool over Roxy's eye many times after that until finally she gave in and divorced him.
Although she continues to enjoy the racetracks and any beverage with a little zing to it, Roxy has made an honorable home in Llanview where she runs Foxy Roxy's Hair Haven and the Angels Square Hotel and persists to humor many with her kindhearted wit!
In 2009, Roxy struggled to hide the identity of Rex's father, who is currently in a special care facility. Roxy managed to save Shane, through a scheme with Stacy Morasco, by obtaining the bone marrow of this man, and is doing her best to keep the secret hidden.

Roxy tells Kyle that Stacy, the baby, Fish and Rex could all die because of her then admits, "I've been lying for so long." As Roxy is about to admit how she allowed herself to have Mitch father Rex, Kyle wants to ease her guilt - and confesses that Stacy's baby isn't Rex's! Roxy cries saying, "I was going to give that baby everything I wasn't able to do for Shane. I love that baby." Roxy realizes Stacy lied to break Gigi and Rex up then says, "The witch is dead."
Over at Rodi's, Schuyler holds Gigi close, causing her to wonder, "What's wrong?" Schuyler talks about his day at the hospital but says he can't discuss what happened - due to doctor/patient confidentiality. Just then, Roxy appears, throws a cold drink on them and demands to know how Gigi could hurt Rex like this! As Roxy continues throwing anything she can get her hands on, Kyle arrives, asks her to have a drink with him and sends Roxy to a table - then warns Schuyler that he didn't call off Roxy for his sake!
