History of Roxanne Balsom:

Roxanne Balsom who lived in Atlantic City, was shocked to find out her husband Walter brought back a baby girl and told her they were going to raise her, they named her Natalie. Roxy was never much of a mother, especially after Walter died. Her other son Rex moved in with his Aunt Corrine, but Natalie stayed with her believed mother, who was always drinking, going to bars and was verbally abusive.

Roxy moved to Llanview in 2001 where she met Jessica Buchanan who was thought to be her long-lost daughter. Finding out how rich Jessica was, she tried scamming her into getting money, but it was short-lived when Jessica found out the truth. Roxy was desperate to make money, and was not going to stop at anything.

Roxy ran into Max Holden, where the two of them went gambling and drinking every night. One night when Max got very drunk, Roxy got him to sign a pre-nupitial agreement and marry her in front of a judge, which was videotaped for proof. Max found out what had happened and was furious with her and the fact that if he tried to divorce her, she would get half of his fortune. However, Roxy was falling in love with Max, and tried to get Max to warm up to her, but it he never did.

Max and Asa was planning a scheme so the both of them could find a way to end their marriages and not loose their fortunes. Unfortunatly, Roxy found out about the scheme beforehand and divorced Max, getting a very large sum of money.

Meanwhile everyone learned that Roxy was not the biological mother of Jessica, and she was forced to admit it, where she was charged with fraud, but in exchange for handing over Walter's old papers, the charges were dropped.

Roxy decided it was time to try and get a "real" job and clean herself up the best she could. She convinced Asa Buchanan to help fund "Foxy Roxy's Hair Haven" of which she is now the proud owner of. Roxy has slowly started to rebuild her relationship with Natalie and her son Rex. Currently, Roxy continues to hide the idenity of Rex' real father.
