A Madam in a classy brothel, Renee Divine left that life behind and came to Llanview in 1987. Running into her ex-lover, Asa Buchanan turned out to be the main reason Renee decided to put down roots in Llanview, as Asa was just as happy to see Renee, too. However, her timing couldn't have been worse. At the time, an impostor to Bo Buchanan was trying to get close to Asa and rob him blind. Patrick London saw Renee as a threat and made it look as though she was poisoning Asa! Asa fell for it and brought charges against Renee, but soon found out the truth and dropped them.
The following year, Renee married Asa during a double ceremony with Corde and Tina Roberts. While the two appeared to be a match made in heaven, their marriage soon ended after Asa couldn't refuse the sex appeal of vixen Blair Cramer! Asa finally came to his senses and realized that Blair was only after his money, and began secretly dating Renee again.
In 1999, a secret from Renee's past began to eat away at her, causing her to open up to Nora Buchanan about a son who she gave away at birth. Although Nora tried to locate Renee's estranged son, her efforts went unnoticed. That same year, Asa and Renee were set to be married for a second time. She bit the bullet and told Asa the truth. Asa forgave her and together they set out to locate their child.
Max Holden came forward and claimed to be her and Asa's son. Renee couldn't have been happier seeing as she'd always looked to Max as her own, anyway. With guilt haunting him, Max wasn't able to keep up the charade and admitted that he wasn't Renee's son and only did it as a way to prosper from Asa's fortune. Renee slapped Max across the face so hard that an unknown aneurysm exploded in Max's head! Asa was devastated, and Renee didn't have the heart to tell him that Max was a fake.
Privately, Renee set out to find her son and eventually left Asa after finding out about his shady business dealings and vendetta's against the Davidson - Rappaport families. However, in 2001, Renee's search came to an end when Todd Manning announced to Llanview that Max Holden had been taking Asa for a ride and his real son was Ben Davidson! Asa was furious that Renee had deceived him, but later forgave her. Just when Renee found her son, he was taken away from her after Ben was shot by a crazed woman, lost in a coma for years, then ultimately taken off life support. Renee left Llanview for a while to mend her broken heart.
In 2004, Renee married Asa for a third time and managed to remain happy until December 2006 when Spencer Truman came forward and declared that he was Asa's son! Although a DNA test proved that Spencer wasn't a Buchanan, the fact that Asa had slept with Emma Bradley, one of Renee's 'girls,' while he was involved with Renee, hurt her deeply. In the end, with Asa's ailing health, Renee continued to stand by the side of her Texas Cowboy - until his passing in November 2007...
Though we don't see her much, Renee still runs The Palace Hotel and has helped with the planning for Nora, Clint, Viki and Charlie's double wedding.

At the Buchanan mansion, Renee summons Madame Delphina, wanting to channel Asa. When they manage to, Asa sends a message, "Don't bother me now, Woman, I'm trying to set things straight! Who thought it would be a good idea to change partners during the do-si-do?" Suddenly, Delphina announces, "That's weird, everything just went black." As Delphina leaves, she starts ranting out Asa's lucky numbers, and Renee connects them to how many times Asa made her his wife… However, the next thing Delphina picks up has nothing to do with Renee and Asa, but with someone else!
When Jared opens the curtain in Room 302 of the Boutet Clinic, he, Natalie and Kyle find Renee in the bed! Renee explains that she came in for secret cosmetic surgery, and after Jared interrupts wondering if she had liposuction, Natalie pushes Jared and Kyle out into the hall, where Kyle promises, "Shane's donor is here somewhere!" Shortly after, Renee comes out and asks them to keep her presence there a secret then Jared, Natalie and Kyle find out from a nurse that the person in the room prior to Renee died a few months back! Just as Natalie and Jared try to leave to reinstate charges against Kyle, he gives them what he knows - that he drew extra blood and gave it to Roxy - at Roxy's insistence! "You better pray that Roxy still has that blood," Jared says then he, Natalie and Kyle rush off.
Back in the room, Renee thanks a nurse for all of the privacy then questions about the person Natalie and Jared were talking about. The nurse claims the previous patient is dead - because that's what the records show.
