He makes romantic advances towards Pierce's partner Chloe Brennan's (April Rose Pengilly) and crashes his car, which endangers Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan).

Producers later introduced the character's mother Lisa Rowsthorn (Jane Allsop), which continued exploration of the Greyson family's backstory and sees Hendrix reach a turning point in which he goes from brat to adult.

Producers decided to kill Hendrix off, which came as a shock to Turland until the story was explained to him and he realised that his character would come full circle with his family.

On 1 September 2019, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy reported that Neighbours would be introducing Pierce Greyson's (Tim Robards) teenage son, Hendrix to the regular cast.

"[3] A week after sending in the tape, Turland was asked to audition and was flown to Melbourne from Sydney for a chemistry read with Robards and Jemma Donovan (Harlow Robinson).

The bad history between the pair surfaces, as Hendrix tells his father to start a new family with Chloe, but Pierce refuses to go ahead with the wedding without him.

[13] The introduction of Hendrix's mother Lisa Rowsthorn (Jane Allsop) in early 2020 led to continued exploration of the Greyson family's backstory.

[15][13] While Pierce is expressing his regret at not being there for Hendrix when he was younger, he admits to Chloe that he was essentially a sperm donor for Lisa and they both agreed that he would keep his distance from her and their children.

[19] Hendrix finds the rest of the party in the morning, but Harlow is not there because she has fallen down a mineshaft with Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) and been bitten by a snake.

[21] He told Joe Julians of the Radio Times that Harlow's grandfather Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) "doesn't help this situation" – he is constantly at him.

He then becomes "desperate" for money, knowing that he has to pay rent, so he turns to his new friend Jay Rebecchi (Dhruv Malge), who suggests taking part in blackjack games.

"[22] Jay finds them a private game, where Hendrix learns it is being run by Kane Jones (Barry Conrad), who used to organise a local fight club.

[24] Turland admitted that he was "quite upset" by Hendrix and Harlow's break-up because he enjoyed the relationship, saying "We've had a lot of fun building that up ever since I started in the show, as there's always been a chemistry there.

"[25] Turland thought the break-up would shock viewers, who had also come to love the characters' relationship, but he realised that Harlow had every reason to end it, as Hendrix had "stuffed up quite a bit".

[25] Turland thought there was potential for the couple to reunite in the future, as Harlow was a big part of Hendrix's life and she was the reason he stayed in Erinsborough.

Stone called it a complicated situation and told Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap: "Mackenzie and Hendrix are leaning in for a kiss – they're holding hands, and it's a really charged moment.

[28] She thought her character would be angry if Harlow made her choose, especially as their whole friendship group would fall apart, but it would make for good drama to play out.

Stone called Hendrix the love of Mackenzie's life and she thought the wedding brought both characters' story arc "full circle".

[41] Turland spoke with a family member who was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, as well as relatives who had friends die from the condition, who told him that the story was "pretty accurate" and found that hearing that from them was "enough.

[41] The show's executive producer Jason Herbison later wrote a special episode which focused solely on Hendrix's storyline, as he and Mackenzie go to Sydney to tell his family about his diagnosis.

[43] Robards and Allsop reprised their roles as Hendrix's parents Pierce and Lisa, while his sisters Alana Greyson (Molly Broadstock) and Maeve Rowsthorn (Beatrix Van Vliet) made their first appearances.

However, the storyline was explained – and while it's sad because Hendrix is such a young guy, it's also quite beautiful as the character comes full circle with his family, and also finds the love of his life with Mackenzie.

[47] The series is set at the local high school and explores various issues concerning teenagers, including bullying, mental health, sexuality, and peer pressure.

[13] Likewise, Briannah Devlin of Southern Highland News called Hendrix "a troubled, rich, impulsive teenager who initially likes to live by his own rules.

And as Susan mourned the fact that so many had missed the chance to reach their full potential, Hendrix was briefly revived to share a dance with wife Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone).

As he twirled her around, all seemed right with the world, before we were suddenly transported back to the show's reality as Mackenzie was immersed in the festivities with Curtis Perkins (Nathan Borg)".

[54] She also wrote that Hendrix's death might have come across as unnecessary if Turland had not decided to leave the show before it was cancelled, explaining "tearing the couple apart in such a tragic way is the only believable outcome.

A hastily written exit or tiresome cheating trope simply wouldn't have made sense for these two; and as a result Hendrix and Mackenzie will be remembered as one of Neighbours' strongest romantic partnerships.

"[39] Helen Daly of the Radio Times reported that the decision to kill Hendrix off received some backlash from fans, who were angry about Mackenzie, a "prominent" trans character experiencing so much tragedy.

[55] Actress Annie Wallace also criticised the plot, mentioning the "tragic trans trope", and asking why Hendrix and Mackenzie could not have had a happy ending.
