Y&R Character Description – Rey

Rey Rosales




Rey Rosales

Rey Rosales was sent to Genoa City in 2018 to investigate the disappearance of JT Hellstrom. He is the oldest of three. After his father left the family, Rey stepped into a paternal role and took care of Arturo and Lola. Arturo resented what he felt were his older brother’s attempts to control him. The brothers became estranged after Arturo slept with Rey’s wife, Mia, before the Rosales’s arrival in Genoa City. The situation was complicated by the fact that Arturo and Mia were in dating before she married Rey. Lola, the youngest, tried to mediate between her brothers. Rey correctly suspected Sharon knew something about what happened to JT, so he found ways to insert himself into her life, and he recommended that she take a job at the police station. Sharon took the job, so that she could keep an eye on the JT investigation. Becoming coworkers brought Sharon and Rey closer together. Romance seemed on the horizon for them, but when Mia arrived, wanting to reconcile, Rey gave his marriage another chance.

A snowstorm stranded Rey with Sharon, and Arturo with Mia. While Rey and Sharon didn’t cross any lines, Mia strayed with Arturo for the second time, and this time, she got pregnant.  At first, Rey was furious, but he eventually moved past it. Arturo and Mia moved away to have their baby, and Rey ended up with Sharon. Rey was able to be happy for Arturo and Mia when their son, Mateo was born. Rey is a strong believer in the law, but after he found out that he’d helped get Sharon, Victoria, and Nikki for a crime they didn’t commit, he assisted in helping them escape from the prison van. It cost him his job, but he was eventually rehired at the GCPD. He is very protective of the people he loves, like Sharon, Lola and his mother, Celeste. He also holds grudges against people he feels have wronged him or people he cares about.

Family – Celeste Rosales (Mother), Adrian Rosales (Father), Arturo Rosales (Brother), Lola Rosales (Sister), Mateo Rosales (Nephew)

Y&R Character Description – Lola

Lola Rosales




Lola Rosales

The youngest of three, Lola was raised by a single mother, because her father left the family before her birth. She did not meet him until she was an adult. She has a close bond with her brothers, Rey and Arturo, but they sometimes clash because she is independent, and they can be overprotective. She first appeared in 2018, when Kyle placed an order at her food truck. Lola has been passionate about cooking since she was a small child, with a focus on Cuban cuisine. Her dream is to own her own restaurant. She was initially reluctant to start a serious romantic relationship, because she didn’t want anything to distract from her goals. However, she and Kyle were drawn to each other and became a couple.

Lola didn’t come from a wealthy family, and she was uncomfortable with what she perceived as Kyle’s frivolous spending. Their differing values was one of the reasons that the relationship was on again off again.  Just after one of Lola and Kyle’s breakups, she was attacked in, a case of mistaken identity, and hit her head when she was pushed into the Abbott pool. Kyle rescued her, but she spent a month in a coma. While in the hospital, it was discovered that she was in liver failure. Summer was a match, and Kyle offered to marry her for one year if she’d save Lola’s life. Summer accepted the deal and donated part of her liver to Lola, but Kyle left Summer, for Lola, before their terms of their agreement were met.

After Lola’s recovery, she took a job as head chef at Devon and Abby’s restaurant. Kyle and Lola were married, and her parents, Celeste and Adrian came to town for the wedding. Lola gave her father a chance, but he was still unreliable, and soon disappeared from her life again. Lola made friends with Kyle’s cousin, Theo after discovering that they had a lot in common. Kyle was jealous of Lola and Theo’s bond, and it caused friction in their marriage. Kyle realized he and Lola rushed into marriage too quickly, and he admitted to her that he still loved Summer and wanted to be with her. Lola accepted this, and they separated. As of 2020, Lola is working on opening a restaurant in Miami, while retaining her job in Genoa City. She and Theo have made plans to go on a date.
