Roxanne's storyline on The Young and the Restless
Tatyana Ali's character Roxanne debuted in 2007 in the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless. It is one of the long-running American soap operas set in the fictional city of Genoa City. The soap debuted in 1973, and circles around the lives of wealthy and working-class families, including the Newmans, the Abbotts, the Chancellors, and the Winters.
In the show, Roxanne was introduced as Devon’s love interest on the soap. Despite limited screen time, her romantic life had been a roller coaster. When it was revealed that Devon had cheated on her with his “aunt” Tyra, she did not handle the news well.
The couple reconciled and stayed committed, but not for long. Things took a turn when Devon inherited his massive fortune from Katherine Chancellor. He started prioritizing his business over other things.
This behaviour of his took a huge toll on his relationship with Roxanne on The Young and the Restless. Eventually, their relationship faded, and the two called it off. By 2013, the character made a silent exit from the soap.
