Roxy becomes a surprise love interest for Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor), and scenes showing how the characters got together were shown in a flashback.

Towards the end of the year, Roxy is brought into David Tanaka's (Takaya Honda) health storyline, when she turns out to be kidney match for him.

The show's executive producer Jason Herbison said the pair had great chemistry, and both Anderson and Milligan thought Roxy and Kyle were a good match.

In her final storylines, Roxy feuds with Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton) over the managers job at the Flamingo Bar, and undergoes IVF treatment in order to conceive her and Kyle's first child.

[1] Zima Anderson was cast in the role two years after relocating from her home town of Burnie to Melbourne, where she had hoped to secure a part on Neighbours.

[2] Of joining the cast, Anderson said "I've been so lucky with the role of Roxy, I've already found myself in a wide range of crazy situations from virtually the first scene which has been so much fun and really challenged me, I'm constantly learning.

[2] During her appearance on co-star Takaya Honda's YouTube series Tak Talks, Jemma Donovan revealed that she had also gone up for the role of Roxy, however, she felt the character was not right for her.

[3] Roxy is established as the daughter of former characters Gemma Ramsay (Beth Buchanan) and Adam Willis (Ian Williams), Terese's former brother-in-law.

"[2] Like her character, Anderson moved from a regional area to Melbourne, which allowed her to bring the experience of a "small town mindset of wanting to do bigger and better things" to the role.

[8] She also said that she wanted to take part in some stunts, explaining "Roxy always gets into sticky situations – she has the best of intentions, but then she feels bad when it all goes wrong, as she didn't expect it.

[9] Roxy makes an instant impression by partying at The Waterhole and tempting Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) to drink a shot from her belly button.

[10] Terese expresses sympathy for Roxy, and later explains to her daughter Imogen Willis (Ariel Kaplan) that she was in a similar situation when she was younger, after being led astray by her boyfriend at the time.

She attempts to promote the venture by setting up a mechanical ball in the Lassiters complex, but Paul forces her to move it and she relocates it to the Willis house.

[7] It soon emerges that Vance attacked Paul, but Roxy does not want to betray him and initially pins the blame on neighbour Gary Canning (Damien Richardson).

[18] The pair initially clash after Roxy accuses Mark of partying instead of investigating the con-artist who stole from Leo and put their business in jeopardy.

[24] Writers formed a friendship between Roxy and her co-worker Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), after she confides in him about being a potential kidney donor for David.

"[28] Coghlan told Johnathon Hughes of the Radio Times that their friendship dynamic has been reversed and now Shane is the "wrongdoer", while Roxy is the adult and he is the child.

[28] Coghlan thought the scenes were "a nice, interesting progression of the relationship" and allowed further exploration of Shane and Roxy's characters, as they share "deep and meaningful conversations.

[31] Kyle also maintains that he is not ready for a relationship, but soon begins dating guest character Jessica Quince (Lynn Gilmartin) after meeting her at a grief counselling group.

Going forward, we see the potential for lots of fun in that relationship, but also some conflict..."[30] Roxy later shares "a spontaneous kiss" with Levi Canning (Richie Morris), unaware that he is Kyle's cousin, but they decide to stay friends.

[36] Of how this might affect the couple's plans for a family, Anderson stated "Roxy is focussing on just enjoying the moments with Kyle after his cancer diagnosis.

[37] She hoped the pair would move into their own house, which would be filled with children and dogs, and become the new Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne), but "a lot spicier..."[32] The couple's wedding reception at the Flamingo Bar is marred by a storm, which sees lightning strike a nearby telegraph pole bringing it down on the venue.

[37] Of her reaction to the storyline, Anderson told Kilkelly and Asyia Iftikhar of Digital Spy: "With everything that Roxy and Kyle have been through, it was pretty rough to hear that their wedding wasn't going to go smoothly!

[40] She is "hugely optimistic" that she is pregnant and arranges a gathering for her friends to witness her pregnancy test result, which Kyle soon cancels out of concern for her.

[41] Following Amy Greenwood's (Jacinta Stapleton) reintroduction in May 2021, writers established a work feud between her and Roxy as they both want to run the Flamingo Bar.

[45] Anderson said the fight had been building up for "a while" due to various contributing factors, explaining "Roxy has been noting down everything that Amy's done wrong over the past few weeks, so she has a list all ready to hand in to Paul and Terese!

"[54] Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly had a similar reaction, writing "Terese's troublesome niece has shaken up Ramsay Street with her wild behaviour over the past two weeks".

"[57] In December 2019, Bridget McManus of The Sydney Morning Herald praised Anderson's performance as she made "the most of a tearful cafe scene, as her character, waitress Roxy, confesses an awful secret to her understanding boss.

"[61] In December 2021, the Daily Mirror's Susan Knox reported that Roxy had placed fifth in a poll to find the top ten favourite Neighbours characters of all time run by Australian fansite Back to the Bay.

[62] The following year, Sheena McGinley of the Irish Independent included Roxy in her list of 12 "Iconic Neighbours characters", noting that it might come as a surprise to some readers.
