Alexandra "Alex" Devane Marick is a fictional character from All My Children, an American soap opera on the ABC network.

[1][2][3] In 2017, Hughes reprised the role on General Hospital, when Alex began posing as Anna, and continued until 2021.

[7] Hughes reprised her role as Alexandra on General Hospital, beginning April 5, 2017, masquerading as Anna; the duplicity wasn't revealed until May 12, 2017.

[13] Alexandra and new husband, Dimitri Marick, were headed back to town from London to break the news of their marriage.

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.

Many doubted Alex's sincerity and feelings for Dimitri, but Peggy and Brooke English both could see the affection in her eyes.

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 refused to accept his brother writing off survival so quickly and persuaded Alex and Dimitri to try stem cell therapy to save his life.

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.

Charlotte had convinced the mother one of her twins had been stillborn, and then smuggled the child (Alex) out of the hospital, raising her as her own.

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.

They pretended Alex was seriously ill from fever and needed care, but one by one other doctors began to find out the truth.

In the midst of this turmoil, Dimitri and Edmund's niece, Gillian, whom Alex was very close to, had agreed to make a documentary about her life.

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.

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.

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.

[15] In 2017, Alex assumes the identity of Anna for one-month; during this time, she seduces Valentin Cassadine to steal the Chimera Project.
