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.

Back in Llanview, at the loft, Kim is fitting Stacy with a pregnancy pad then Stacy explains the banging on the door, as being 'their next move'. Kim covers Stacy's belly, as Roxy barges through the door, wondering what Stacy wanted. Stacy demands that Roxy tell Rex that Gigi spent the night with and had sex in Schuyler's room, but Roxy claims that she only saw them talking. Kim and Stacy threaten to tell Rex about the donor's identity, but Roxy announces that she already told Rex, calls Kim a pole-jockey then warns that Rex will never let Stacy raise his baby! Roxy storms out.
After Rex leaves, Schuyler appears, and Gigi lets him in - and informs him that Jared is dead. Schuyler wonders what he can do to help, but Gigi admits he shouldn't even be there. Schuyler agrees, but before he leaves, he goes over his conversation with Roxy, at Rodi's, and the fact that he's almost sure that Kim and Stacy overheard. Gigi knows it's only a matter of time before they tell Rex. Suddenly, Roxy comes through the door, starts punching Schuyler for being with Gigi again then warns that Kim and Stacy are on the hunt for Gigi's head! Gigi agrees to tell Rex the truth, when he gets back from seeing Natalie, then informs Roxy that Jared is dead. Roxy is shocked, and guzzles from her flask, then heads to the hotel to get to Rex - before Stacy and Kim do! Schuyler leaves too, hoping he can talk Stacy out of causing more problems for Rex.
Just as Natalie is about to head home, Rex arrives at John's and takes his sister in his arms. John gives them some time alone and leaves then Natalie tells Rex that Jared was framed and that he was murdered - by Mitch Laurence! Rex reminds Natalie that Mitch is dead, but just as Natalie says that she saw him kill Jared, Roxy walks in and hears Natalie finish, "Mitch is alive and well!"
When Roxy storms into Rodi's, Schuyler asks if she ratted Gigi out to Rex, for spending the night in his room, but Roxy assures him she didn't, especially with what Rex is going through now, as Stacy and Kim listen from the end of the bar. Later, Roxy admits to Schuyler how sick she feels for having to tell Rex what she did today then expresses her thanks for 'him' being dead. Roxy warns Schuyler not to mess with Gigi - because Rex is going to need her now more than ever.
