Personal History: Renata was an assistant in the kitchen at Bridges in Avalon before marrying owner and chef George Avalon. They were happily married with son Darcy until an indiscretion on George's part made Renata demand a divorce. She moved away and lived on alimony and child support until meeting wealthy businessman Gene Dewitt, whom she married and lived with in Halifax. She divorced him in 1997 after discovering an affair, receiving a good portion of his sizeable fortune in addition to attractive alimony payments. She has always been very domineering over her son, which he resents, and finds herself unable to live without having him in the same town.
