Alex is Liz and Maria�s best friend. He�s the loveable dweeb, who�s smart, cute, and completely besotted with Isabel.

He�s intelligent enough to realise that there�s little chance of anything ever happening between them, but he still hopes.

While Alex isn�t classic hero material, you�ll notice this year several attempts to buff him up a little.

Most likely to say: "It�s okay Isabel, I understand."
