While being taken away by the police, Charlotte had a final revelation: She was not Alex or Anna's biological mother; they were the product of a cousin of the man Alex thought was her father. Charlotte had convinced the mother that one of her twins had been stillborn, and then smuggled the child (Alex) out of the hospital, raising her as her own. Alex was devastated to learn her entire life had been a lie and that she had a sister she had never known. |

The old man, Bart, had been taking care of Anna for years, but her seizures and fever had grown worse and worse. He tracked Alex down that night on the ''Fidelity'' and asked her to help treat her sister. Alex had agreed to join him, and since Anna couldn't be taken to a hospital since Charlotte was still out to kill her, had left Dimitri behind. Unfortunately, Anna was beyond the point of anything but extensive hospital care saving her. Alex flew Anna and Bart to Pine Valley (Bart died a few weeks later) and placed her in a private PVH wing. They pretended Alex was seriously ill from fever and needed care, but one by one other doctors began to find out the truth. With their help, Anna was treated and released. She hid out at Wildwind as she tried to get back her strength and her lost memories. This placed the entire family in danger, but Edmund and Dimitri insisted Anna stay put. A mute young man showed up soon after Anna arrived at Wildwind. He had been instructed to kill her but couldn't go through with his job. He was another victim of Charlotte's brainwashing and as Alex quickly found out, she and Anna's half-brother. Despite Dimitri's refusal to believe his story, Alex accepted the boy (Gabriel) and tried to make him feel welcome. After a lifetime of loneliness, she was delighted to have two new siblings. |

The documentarian, a woman named Ilene, was eager to see the plans of Wildwind. Her eagerness was due to her actually being Charlotte's hitwoman! Alex and everyone else found this out moments too late, as Ilene saw a woman from the back, mistook her for Anna, and shot her at close range. The woman was not Anna, but Gillian. Gillian died from her wounds, and even though Ilene was arrested, gave Charlotte up, and was deported to face serious charges, Alex was overwhelmed with remorse. Erica Kane went out of her way to declare Alex a "curse on the entire family." Alex knew some other family members agreed and were just too polite to say so. Anna, however, vigorously defended her sister, putting Erica in her place over it on several occasions. Guilt-ridden about the constant danger and death she'd carried with her since her arrival at Wildwind, and perhaps still unsure of her feelings for Edmund, Alex left with Dimitri in 2001 to track down a family mystery and eventually settle down in Hungary. |

Anna then made a deal with Alex saying that if she told her which memories are false in Anna's head then she would get the treatment for the HN-242 virus. Alex had stalled and got under Anna's skin and even made Anna promise that not only she gets the treatment that she'll be a free woman. Anna agreed to her terms and begged Alex to tell her which memory was not her's and she eventually told her that the memory of her betraying Boris Mikhailov by leading him into an ambush was not her memory, it was Alex's.

Dr. Alexandra "Alex" Marick[3] is a fictional character on the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital.
The role of Alex was originated by British actress Finola Hughes on the now-canceled ABC daytime soap opera All My Children on July 23, 1999.
The character made her first appearance on General Hospital on April 5, 2017. Her last appearance was on June 8, 2017. In 2019, she also briefly reprised the role from March 18 to March 21.
Casting
Finola Hughes was cast as Alex Devane on All My Children in 1999. At first it was unknown what character she would portray.[4] Alexandra debuted on July 23, 1999.[5]
Hughes left in the fall of 2000 for maternity leave and returned in February 2001.[6] Alex left on July 9, 2001 to Budapest, Hungary.[7]
Hughes took on the dual roles of Alex and Anna from April 5-June 8, 2017 and again from March 18-21, 2019.
Storylines
In 1999, Alexandra and new husband, Dimitri Marick, were headed back to town from London to break the news of their marriage. Before they could tell the good news, Dimitri fell ill and subsequently died. She elected to remain hidden at the airport while Dimitri and his loved ones traveled to Seaview Hospital to see if there was anything that the doctors could do to resurrect Dimitri.
Alex finally made her presence known when Edmund Grey asked that an autopsy be done on his brother to determine the cause of his death. Alex stepped forward and announced that an autopsy would not be performed. Edmund said that he was Dimitri's brother and would decide what was to be done. It was then that Alex dropped the bombshell that she was the new Mrs. Marick. Erica Kane did not take well to the news that Dimitri had found another lover.
Many doubted Alex's sincerity and feelings for Dimitri, but Peggy and Brooke English both could see the affection in her eyes. When alone, Alex would reflect on happier times with Dimitri. They had made plans to start a family together and re-settle in Pine Valley. There was also talk of Alexandra agreeing to do something quite odd for Dimitri, but what this was not revealed. Alex continued to act strangely to her husband's death, refusing to share the medical report findings and then ordering a closed casket funeral.
Edmund managed to get the casket open, and found nothing inside. Alex admitted that Dimitri was still alive, dying from a debilitating illness. He'd begged her to not let his friends and family see him so weak and to stage his death instead. Edmund refused to accept his brother writing off survival so quickly and persuaded Alex and Dimitri to try stem cell therapy to save his life. Amazingly, the treatments began to work, but one day Dimitri wandered near the ocean. His dressing down was found at the shore, and his loved ones could only assume he was dead. Alex and Edmund got off to a rocky start, but slowly they fell in love and planned to be married. Alex was having strange flashes of memory and began to wonder if she was going insane, or if she was Anna Devane, a look-alike who had been presumed dead almost 10 years earlier in a boat explosion. In actuality, Alex's "loving" mother Charlotte had once placed her in a brainwashing facility (disguised as a mental hospital) and forced her into becoming a secret agent in a terrorist organization. Alex was supposed to kill Anna.
In 2000, when she couldn't go through with it, Charlotte had her crew kill Anna and implanted false memories in Alex's mind to make her believe she was Anna. Charlotte was planning on killing her but Edmund stopped her in the nick of time.
While being taken away by the police, Charlotte had a final revelation: She was not Alex or Anna's biological mother; they were the product of a cousin of the man Alex thought was her father. Charlotte had convinced the mother that one of her twins had been stillborn, and then smuggled the child (Alex) out of the hospital, raising her as her own. Alex was devastated to learn her entire life had been a lie and that she had a sister she had never known.
With Charlotte out of the way, Alex expected to settle down with Edmund, but within a few days Dimitri revealed himself to her. He had been kidnapped by Charlotte's thugs and had fought with all his strength to keep Alex safe and bring her "mother" to justice. Alex was overjoyed to see him again and they made love immediately. Although Alex still felt strong emotions for Edmund, she felt a stronger bond with Dimitri and could not leave her husband's side again. Edmund grew increasingly irrational and both Dimitri and Alex were frightened by his behavior. In late 2000, she vanished while on board the Fidelity yacht. Dimitri was convinced Edmund was behind the kidnapping, but after a few months, he received a phone call. Alex was safe, but hidden away in secluded Canadian woods. She asked Dimitri not to track her down, but he and Edmund ignored her wishes. They burst into a cabin where they found an old man taking care of her. They were blindsided when Alex walked into the room and said the seriously ill woman was her twin sister, Anna.
The old man, Bart, had been taking care of Anna for years, but her seizures and fever had grown worse and worse. He tracked Alex down that night on the Fidelity and asked her to help treat her sister. Alex had agreed to join him, and since Anna couldn't be taken to a hospital since Charlotte was still out to kill her, had left Dimitri behind. Unfortunately, Anna was beyond the point of anything but extensive hospital care saving her. Alex flew Anna and Bart to Pine Valley (Bart died a few weeks later) and placed her in a private PVH wing. They pretended Alex was seriously ill from fever and needed care, but one by one other doctors began to find out the truth. With their help, Anna was treated and released. She hid out at Wildwind as she tried to get back her strength and her lost memories. This placed the entire family in danger, but Edmund and Dimitri insisted Anna stay put. A mute young man showed up soon after Anna arrived at Wildwind. He had been instructed to kill her but couldn't go through with his job. He was another victim of Charlotte's brainwashing and as Alex quickly found out, she and Anna's half-brother. Despite Dimitri's refusal to believe his story, Alex accepted the boy (Gabriel) and tried to make him feel welcome. After a lifetime of loneliness, she was delighted to have two new siblings.
In 2001, in the midst of this turmoil, Dimitri and Edmund's niece, Gillian Andrassy, whom Alex was very close to, had agreed to make a documentary about her life. The documentarian, a woman named Ilene, was eager to see the plans of Wildwind. Her eagerness was due to her actually being Charlotte's hitwoman! Alex and everyone else found this out moments too late, as Ilene saw a woman from the back, mistook her for Anna, and shot her at close range. The woman was not Anna, but Gillian. Gillian died from her wounds, and even though Ilene was arrested, gave Charlotte up, and was deported to face serious charges, Alex was overwhelmed with remorse. Erica Kane went out of her way to declare Alex a "curse on the entire family." Alex knew some other family members agreed and were just too polite to say so. Anna, however, vigorously defended her sister, putting Erica in her place over it on several occasions. Guilt-ridden about the constant danger and death she'd carried with her since her arrival at Wildwind, and perhaps still unsure of her feelings for Edmund, Alex left with Dimitri in 2001 to track down a family mystery and eventually settle down in Hungary.
It was revealed that Alex and Dimitri got a divorce on June 12, 2013, but the date of the divorce is not revealed.[8]
Alex pins Nina to a table
On May 12, 2017, it was revealed that Alex has been impersonating her sister in Port Charles since the beginning of April while the real Anna Devane is being held hostage in London. In the interrogation after her arrest, Alex reveals she has impersonated Anna before when the DVX sent her to steal the Chimera Project from Valentin Cassadine, she seduced him and had sex with him. Over their one night stand, she began to grow feelings for him, so she made sure he would escape before getting killed by the WSB. She was taken into custody by the WSB.
Alex negotiates with Valentin
In June, Alex escaped custody from the WSB. In June 8, she visited Valentin in the PCPD, to help him in his misfortune. She works out a deal for the two of them to be free from their crimes and seductively suggests that he finds her, once all is done. After all it was she whom he once loved deeply not Anna.
Alex returned on March 18, 2019 and she had also been hit with the HN-242 virus which made her suddenly go blind. Hamilton Finn rushed into the hospital room and he thought that she was Anna and that the virus had reoccured until Anna showed up and introduced him to Alex. Anna then made a deal with Alex saying that if she told her which memories are false in Anna's head then she would get the treatment for the HN-242 virus. Alex had stalled and got under Anna's skin and even made Anna promise that not only she gets the treatment that she'll be a free woman. Anna agreed to her terms and begged Alex to tell her which memory was not her's and she eventually told her that the memory of her betraying Boris Mikhailov by leading him into an ambush was not her memory, it was Alex's. Finn restored Alex's sight and Anna had WSB agents take Alex to Steinmauer anyway. Alex, expecting Anna to betray her, got under her skin by saying, "Tell Robert I'm sorry I missed seeing him one last time."
On April 8, Robert revealed to Anna that Alex lied about the false memory. Anna was afraid that Alex was Robin's biological mother but she eventually found proof that she, not Alex, is her mother. However, Robert shared the possibility that Peter might not be her son but is actually Alex's.
On July 2, Finn learned from Anna that Alex had escaped from custody and she was going to be the one to bring her in.Crimes Committed
