Jordi Vilasuso debuted in 2018 as Rey Rosales. During his four-year run as Genoa City cop Rey Rosales, members of his family came on board as well, to mixed fan reaction.

Fans learned that Rey was involved in a car crash and at the scene of the incident Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) were also present.

It was a convenient passing of blame, Victoria’s famous M.O., but in the end, neither was to blame.

Chance was Rey’s partner at the GCPD and he investigated the horrific crash. According to him, the ME concluded that Rey had a heart attack while driving, and thus no third party was to blame for his death. That is not what Sharon Rosales thinks, however. She blames Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) for Rey being in the car and fans will see Chelsea feel enormous guilt which could take her in an unexpected direction.
