Alexis Claire Rose[1][2] is a fictional character in the Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek, which aired on CBC and Pop TV from 2015 to 2020.

Schitt's Creek follows the trials and tribulations of the once wealthy Rose family, who are banished to the titular town after losing their fortune to an embezzling business manager.

[3] A globetrotting socialite, Alexis is introduced as the self-absorbed adult daughter of Johnny (Eugene Levy) and Moira Rose (Catherine O'Hara) who has little time for Schitt's Creek or her family.

After these relationships fizzle out, Alexis decides to focus on her education by obtaining her high school diploma and enrolling at a local college.

[7] While living in Schitt's Creek, Alexis' relationships with her family begin to deepen, and after finishing her education in the fourth season, she also reunites with Ted, with whom she begins the first serious and mature relationship of her life, which strengthens throughout the fifth season, but Alexis is reluctant to leave her family when Ted invites her to accompany him on an extended career opportunity in the Galápagos Islands for some months.

After some time, Ted pays Alexis a surprise visit at home to share the news that he got offered a permanent job in the Islands, which makes the two realize that, even though they love each other deeply, their lives are going into different directions, so they agree on a mutual break-up.

In an attempt to cope with her heartbreak over Ted, Alexis briefly dates a retired man named Arthur (or 'Artie' for short) who is significantly older than her, to her family's dismay.

[15] When Schitt's Creek was picked up to series by the CBC, Elliott was unable to commit, and a subsequent casting call was held in Los Angeles.

[25] Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson was also complimentary, noting Murphy and Alexis's ability to maintain her "winning bite" while adding a sense of "kindness and intellectual curiosity".

[18] Caroline Framke of Vox similarly agreed noting that Dan Levy and Annie Murphy were Schitt Creek's "backbone and beating heart".
