Degrassi: The Next Generation

Alex Nunez:

 

Season 3


We first meet Alex as pretty much nothing more than Jay's girlfriend. All we really know about her is that she is dating him, and appears to be very similar to him in attitude and social and economic class. Later in the season the one thing we do really find out about Alex is that she has a best friend named Amy, and she has a particular disdain for Emma for reasons somewhat unknown. This friction leads to a big physical fight between the two girls in the Degrassi halls.

 

Season 4


Alex steps out of the shadow and becomes more than just his girl when she runs for class president early in the year against Marco. She ultimately loses the election by a hair, but Marco names her his vice-president. She uses this position to help Jay and Spinner in the "paint and feathering" of Rrick, but it also leads to a friendship with Marco and Ellie later on after she and Jay split because of his cheating with her best friend Amy and nemisis Emma. In this season Alex also starts a budding friendship with Paige after the two become co-workers and talk, and Alex has a hand in convincing Paige to dump Spinner.

 

Season 5


Alex is officially hanging with the main crowd now and she and Paige seem to be like best friends. She is also still good friends with Marco and Ellie, but her bond with Paige seems the strongest. They seem to care a lot about each other because Paige worries about Alex's future and convinces her to go to a college fair, and when Paige gets cut out of the Kevin Smith movie, Alex makes it her mission to cheer her up, leading to an evening of looking hot at the premiere and very sexy dancing and ultimately leading to a kiss between the two, and Alex's realization that she is in fact a lesbian. The two do end up having a relationship despite friction between Alex and Hazel that gets resolved, but when Alex can't handle Paige's over-concern for her future, the relationship ends and Alex and Jay become real friends.

Season 6

 

Alex returns to Degrassi in season 6 to earn more credits for university. She has a new girlfriend but continues to say in touch with Paige. When Paige returns prematurely from Banting, old feelings begin to resurface despite Paige’s attempts to get together with other men. Towards the end of the season, Alex’s family becomes in desperate need of money and Alex takes on stripping. With Paige’s unhappiness, this does not continue for very long. Alex ends up finding out that the money was spent inappropriately and decides to stop living with her mother. When Alex meets up with Paige at the winter formal, she proceeds to break down and inform Paige that she has nowhere to go.

 

Season 7

 

Alex finishes her study at Degrassi and moves in with Paige. When Paige gets a new job, she asks Alex to drive her around. When Alex fails to do this, she attempts to make it up by helping Paige take care of other aspects of her job. Again, Alex fails to fulfill her duties. Both have a confrontation at Paige’s work where they decide to break up. The following day they both pack up and prepare to move their separate ways.
