Bio[]

Alex Lambert grew up with her parents in Florida as their only daughter along with her four brothers (Happy Holidays). While in high school, the Homecoming Queen turn Alex in for smoking, so Alex flushed her tiara down the toilet (Date Package Number Seven). In I've Got A Secret, Alex admits that during her sophomore year of college, she posed naked for Playboy Magazine's "Girls of the Southeast Conference" pictorial in the April 1986 issue. Alex is still embarrassed about this decision.

After college, Alex enlisted in the army, where she learned to fly the Apache Helicopter for the U.S. Army while she served in Desert Storm. At some point, she was engaged to a man named Dan, but ended their relationship because he was too jealous (Terminal Jealousy). After her tour was over, Alex opened a helicopter touring business in Florida, but, after a breakup, she moved her business to Nantucket to see if she liked it better in the north (Two Jerks and a Jill/It May Have Happened One Night/Another Wedding).

Though she initially rebuffs the amorous attentions of both Hackett brothers, she eventually falls for Brian's boyish charms.

She and Brian lived together briefly, but after Brian spends a wild night in New York with Joe and an old friend, Alex throws him out of the apartment and leaves Nantucket for good.

Nearly a year after their breakup, Alex returns to ambush Brian on the Mary Pat Lee Show. After the show, Alex speaks to Brian in private and admits she was bitter about the end of their relationship. After reconciling, the couple had sex and as Alex began to speak about getting back together, Brian realized that Alex was right and he only wanted her when he couldn't have her. Ultimately, they both finally decided it best to go their separate ways.

Trivia[]
