Brief Character History
College student and dorm advisor Remy Boudreau had been living in Springfield for a few years already when he became Marah Lewis's and Catalina Quesada's resident advisor in 2001. He tried to make peace between the rivaling roommates and help them adjust to college life. Remy was a bright kid with a strong sense of himself and a strong sense of decency. An outgoing guy, he made friends easily and was also willing to help the underclassmen that needed it. Perhaps the only person Remy couldn't get along with was his own father, Dean of Students Clayton, who demanded excellence from everyone especially his children. Remy was a talented singer/ songwriter, but Clayton wanted him to pursue a football career. Unfortunately, Clayton's hopes were destroyed when Remy got injured during a workout and had to walk on crutches. Clayton even got as far as to blame Remy to get injured intentionally so that he could spend more time for music. Resentful of his father's expectations, Remy distanced himself emotionally from him. Later, Remy gave Clayton his birthday present prematurely and the gift was a CD of Clayton's favorite Jazz songs. Unfortunately, Clayton misinterpreted everything and believed that Remy gave him the CD to change his mind about Remy's music interest. Thus father and son argued again. One day, Remy took a look at old Jazz CD's and was surprised to find Clayton's name on one of the albums of Dizzy Gillespie. So Remy confronted his father and Clayton had to confess that he had played music with Dizzy in the 70s. Clayton asked Remy to keep his secret and Remy agreed. In 2002, Mel fell in love with Rick Bauer but Remy disapproved of the relationship, especially after hearing two doctors gossiping that Mel only received a promotion at work by sleeping with her boss. As for Clayton, he not only argued with Remy again but also disapproved of Rick. But later, Rick succeeded to get into Clayton's good graces and this upset Remy even further because Rick had gotten Clayton's trust in short time, while Remy himself could never do this. Later, Remy moved in with Bill and Marah Lewis and Ben Reade into Ross Marler's former home. In spring 2003, Remy and his roommates moved into an old museum on 5th Street, which was being renovated and carried on the role of giving the roommates facts and myths about the supposedly haunted house. When Tony Santos wanted Ben to move out because he was accused of murdering Ramona Hendon, Remy and Bill defended Ben and let him stay. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Ben hadn't murdered Ramona, he was Springfield's serial killer and ended up committing suicide. Later, Remy helped a temporarily paralyzed Shayne Lewis during his therapy. In 2004, Remy, with the rest of the family, welcomed Mel and Rick's baby, Leah into the world. That summer, Remy, along with Joey Lupo, his girlfriend Tammy Winslow, Sandy Foster, Shayne, Marina and Lizzie applied for a summer job at Spaulding Enterprises but in the end, Joey won the competition. Meanwhile, Remy became interested in Tammy and was on hand to help her in her attempt to reconcile her mother, Cassie, and her boyfriend, Edmund, by loosening the battery cables on Edmund’s car, thus forcing him to stay with Cassie for the night. Later, he offered to take Tammy to the summer dance when Joey broke up with her and left town. But despite the fact that his chances were better to get Tammy, he suddenly disassociated from her and Tammy ended up in a relationship with her own cousin, Jonathan Randall.
By late 2005, Remy had decided to become a police officer, along with Marina Cooper. In April 2006, Remy came across Tammy and Marina downtown and asked Tammy out. However, since she'd just gotten out of her relationship with Jonathan, she declined. A few weeks later, Tammy told Marina and Remy that she was going to rescind the restraining order against Jonathan who she swore would never hurt her. Remy dared her to prove it. She tried but Remy wasn’t sold, and reminded her he was always there if she needed him. A few weeks later, while downtown with a teenaged Leah, Remy ran into Mel and Rick. Although the couple tried to act as if everything was fine, no one bought it, especially when Mel exploded about Rick's lying for his best friend Phillip and ordering Rick to some responsibility for his (indirect) role Ross Marler's death. Leah defended her dad but everyone wound up saying things they didn’t mean. A few weeks later, Remy came to Tammy's rescue when, upon learning she lost her financial support, Tammy was accusing of harassing the admissions woman she was talking to. Luckily, Remy was able to smooth things over. Afterwards, Remy lit into Mel when he found her having lunch with another man. Meanwhile, Tammy’s troubles with Jonathan were increasing. In order keep a pregnant Lizzie Spaulding from being declared an unfit mother, Jonathan offered to marry her. Though Jonathan insisted Tammy was his true love, he and Lizzie had to make it look like their marriage was real so the law wouldn’t side with Lizzie’s grandfather and declare her unfit. This left Tammy as the odd woman out and Remy suggested they hang out together to pass the time and throw suspicion off her and Jonathan. Unfortunately, the situation made Jonathan a little jealous since Tammy seemed to be at ease with Remy’s “normal” family. After spending some time together, Remy impulsively kissed Tammy but she reminded him that she loved Jonathan. Finally when it looked at as he could lose Tammy to Remy, Jonathan confronted Remy to back off. Later,, a disgusted Jonathan had enough and in front of everyone at Towers showed Tammy how “perfect” the Bauer family was—he showed a picture of Rick kissing Beth Spaulding! Chaos erupted with Mel running out and Remy viscously attacking Jonathan. Later, Remy offered Tammy the chance to start a new, independent life to help her forget her troubles with Jonathan—share an apartment with him and Marina. Over the next few weeks, Remy tried to show his devotion to Tammy by doing what she wanting. However, Marina pointed out that Tammy didn't want a hero---she wanted Jonathan, the bad boy. On Thanksgiving Lizzie and Jonathan's baby was born and the couple disappeared to escape from Alan. On Tammy's request, Remy found them and arranged a restraining order against Alan. In 2007, Remy was shocked when Tammy informed him that she and Jonathan finally married. Though she wanted him to be happy for her, he couldn’t. Shortly after, a frantic Tammy called Remy telling him she overheard some guy planning to meet Jonathan on Old Mill road and was worried that he was in trouble. However, Remy was tired of dealing with all of Tammy’s drama and refused to help. That decision would have tragic consequences. Tammy went herself and while pushing Jonathan out of the path of a moving car, was hit herself. Remy and Gus arrived at the scene of the accident before the ambulance arrived and Remy was so disturbed to see that it was Tammy that he froze for a second before he got the first aid kit. Afterwards, he told Jonathan about Tammy’s warning. When an angry Remy told Gus the same thing, Gus took him off the case since it was too personal. However, Remy persisted and used Mallet’s name to get the name of the owner of the vehicle—Mark Gillespie. When Mallet found out, he confronted Remy who confessed and told Mallet that he believed Alan Spaulding was to blame. So, Mallet, Dinah and Remy went to Alan’s to question him. When Alan gave them sympathy for their loss and offered to post a reward for information. Remy jumped at Alan, accusing him of murder while Mallet had to hold him back. Meanwhile, Dinah saw Alan hide a phone number and gave it to Remy. Using that number, Remy was able to locate Gillespie and proceeded to beat him to a pulp. Fortunately, mallet and Marina rushed in before things went too far. Mallet had no choice but to put Remy on report and Remy was forced to turn in his badge and gun. He then went to Outskirts to get drunk. Though Mel tried to offer him sympathy, he turned away and bemoaned how he was a failure. Unwilling to watch him wallow in self-pity, Mel took his car keys and left. Several days later, Dinah dragged Remy out of Outskirts where he was harassing Lizzie Spaulding and brought him to her room to sober up while telling him that she was on his side. Mallet saw Remy as he was about to leave, and warned Dinah that she was encouraging Remy down a dark path. Realizing he was right, Dinah tracked Remy down for coffee and warned him that revenge wasn’t the answer. Remy seemed to be fine until he learned that Alan had been cleared of all charges. At the police station packing away his things, Remy suddenly flew into a rage and began throwing things. Almost immediately after, Alan announced he was marrying the District Attorney, Doris Wolfe. Using an assumed name, Remy got hired to work security for the wedding. However, at the reception, someone shot Alan. Soon Marina discovered that Remy had been there and was forced to bring him in for questioning. At the same time, someone had gone through Dinah’s bank accounts. So, Dinah and Remy made a deal: she’d keep him posted on Alan’s case if he got her information on her identity theft. However, soon after Dinah informed Remy that she thought she knew who was responsible and the pair planned a trip to Spain so Dinah could look up an old friend in prison. However, before they even left, Dinah abruptly cancelled the trip and told Remy she was no longer in need of his services.
Weeks later when Remy apprehended a thief who escaped from the police, Frank offered him his job back. However, a bitter Remy refused to come back to the force despite Frank’s urging. A bitter Remy seemed content to just coast by aimlessly doing nothing but get drunk occasionally. Though Marina tried to convince him that he needed to find direction, Remy turned a cold shoulder to her advice. Remy spent the next several weeks getting drunk and feeling bitter. When Josh tried to help by offering him a job, an angry Remy refused to take charity. When Josh informed him that it was a real job (he needed help fixing up the lighthouse) Remy agreed to help. While working, Josh tried to convince Remy that he had to put what happened to Tammy behind him and go on with his life. Offering the same bit of advice was Remy’s new friend, Natalia Rivera who had just begun working at Company and had been seeing Remy floundering away in booze firsthand. At this point, Remy decided to pull himself together and started with offering to help Natalia who needed money—though she wouldn’t say what for. Remy offered Natalia a loan and asked for a date but she declined both. Meanwhile, Gus (an old flame of Natalia’s) overheard Remy offer Mel’s help with Natalia’s legal trouble and got annoyed when Nat wouldn’t tell him what was wrong. Later, Remy overheard am anxious Natalia on a call, planning to meet someone at Otto’s and asked if Gus was going to fix this. Gus did and later Remy impulsively kissed Natalia. Remy discovered what Natalia had been hiding—she had a teenaged son, Rafe, who was stuck in juvenile detention. It didn’t take long for Remy to realize that Gus must be Rafe’s father. When confronted, Natalia confirmed it and stated that neither knew about the other and asked Remy to keep it secret. However, when Harley (in a pique of jealousy) had Natalia fired, Remy let the truth slip to Harley who blurted it out to Gus. Weeks later, Natalia finally agreed to go on a date with Remy and the date ended in a kiss. The date displeased Rafe and Gus since both felt she could do better. Weeks later, while searching for a missing Rafe and Daisy, Rafe called Gus out on being jealous of him and Natalia. In the meantime, Lizzie hired Remy to work security at the Spaulding mansion. Meanwhile, thanks to comments made by Daisy, Buzz decided to fire Natalia from Company. However, before he was able to get the words out, Natalia quit. Remy witnessed the whole thing and later told Rafe what Daisy had done. In the meantime, the police force was understaffed and Mallet asked Remy to return to the force so Mallet could spend more time with hsi wife. Remy declined. Meanwhile, it was obvious that Natalia was still hung up on Gus and Remy warned her that Gus would never leave Harley. However, she insisted that if there was a chance, she had to give it a try. In the meantime, Remy continued drinking and being surly which wound up in his being kicked out of Lizzie’s bar. Weeks later, Remy met Mel’s beautiful new assistant, Lola. After being told by Mel to stay away from her, Remy asked Lola out. After their date, Lola and Remy began making out, when Natalia spotted them. Remy immediately pulled away from Lola, and went after Natalia. Remy reminded Natalia that he was there for her, and they agreed to try dating again. However, by this point, Gus’s marriage was falling apart and he moved into the mansion. It didn’t take long for him to bond with Natalia and he warned Remy to stay away from her. Then one day, an upset Lola corned Remy at Company. Luckily, Natalia arrived and saved him by angrily telling Lola that Remy is hers. Remy then refused to let Natalia go until she danced with him. Unfortunately, Rafe was not happy to see his mother with Remy who was furious to hear that Alan kissed Natalia. Later, Natalia went with Remy to a poker game where things got a bit rowdy. Luckily, Gus saved Natalia and Remy then blasted Remy. However, Nat declared that Gus had his chance with her already – she was staying with Remy. Then shockingly, Remy told Natalia that Gus was right about him and suggested that she walk away.Several weeks later, Natalia confided in Remy that Rafe was hurting because Daisy had gotten pregnant and had an abortion without consulting him. As a result, Rafe was acting out. Remy went to Rafe and told him not to take his pain and anger out on his mother. Unfortunately, Rafe wouldn’t listen and got himself arrested. Remy quickly intervened and called Daisy hoping she could talk some sense into Rafe. Weeks later, Remy attempted to drop off a mysterious package to Harley’s son, Zach, from his father, Phillip. Since Remy was wearing a hood, Harley and Cyrus Foley thought he was Phillip and Cyrus tackled him. When Harley saw that Remy was working for Phillip, who went insane a few years earlier and tried to kidnap Zach, she blasted Remy for being so uncaring especially since Jude (who Phillip had kidnapped as well) was practically his nephew. The pair then took and indignant Remy to Harley’s house where they badgered him about Phillip’s whereabouts. Defensive at first, Remy finally admitted that after he lost some money gambling, he ran into Phillip who offered to pay him for delivering the package. He then drew a map of where he met Phillip but stated that he had no idea where Phillip was now but got the sense that he was not returning to Springfield. After angrily leaving, Remy lingered and peeked into Harley’s window to see her and Cyrus in close proximity. The seemed about to kiss until Remy tripped and they backed away after hearing the noise. Later that day, Remy warned Marina to watch her back or Harley would steal her boyfriend. In 2008, Remy got involved in Marina’s scheme to make certain that Cyrus stayed with her. Marina admitted to Remy that she strongly suggested to Harley that Phillip may have been involved in the fire that injured Bill Lewis. Desperate to hang on to Cyrus, Marina asked Remy’s help in keeping the two apart. Marina’s plan was for Remy to tell Harley that Phillip was in New York City. Though the plan did work, it backfired tremendously when Cyrus followed Harley. When Cyrus returned, Marina lied and told him that immigration was after him and told him that they needed to marry right away. Again, Remy helped Marina by sending Cyrus letters that he believed were from immigration. Unfortunately, Harley caught him red handed when he was slipping the last letter under the door. When Harley confronted him, Remy accused her of stealing her niece’s man. Meanwhile, weeks later, a previously assumed dead Jonathan approached Remy with a request. He needed an unregistered weapon to use against Alan. Though Remy didn’t think it was a good idea, he put Jonathan in touch with someone but made it clear that he was doing it for Tammy’s sake—not to help Jon. In the meantime, weeks later, Remy let a rushed Gus borrow his motorcycle since his car wouldn’t start. Tragically, while speeding, Gus was involved in an accident and died in surgery.
