Background[]

Storylines[]

When Kristina is diagnosed with leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant, Sonny learns the truth, and it is discovered that Kristina's only hope for survival is in the stem cells from the unborn child of Sonny and his former lover Sam McCall. As Kristina will not survive long enough for the baby to be born, Alexis attempts to convince Sam to induce labor two weeks early. When Sam refuses, afraid for her child, Alexis grows desperate, insulting and guilting her into giving in, a decision she quickly regrets when Sam collapses and ultimately loses the baby; however, Kristina nonetheless gets the stem cells she needs to survive. Ric and Alexis get married as a way to fight Sonny when he files for custody of Kristina. However, Sonny abruptly agrees to shared custody, and Alexis is given sole custody of Kristina.

Ric and Alexis' marriage grows strained after she finds out Ric knew about Kristina. They reunite, though, when Kristina is kidnapped, and later rescued. During this time, Alexis finds out she's pregnant. A.J. is revealed as the kidnapper, and is later killed. Sonny confesses to the crime, and Alexis wants him to go to prison to protect Kristina. However, Ric throws the case, and Sonny gets acquitted, knowing Sonny was not responsible. Alexis and Ric grow apart, and Ric sleeps with FBI Agent Reese Marshall. However, they reunite when Alexis gives birth to Ric's daughter, Molly Lansing. Alexis is also appointed as District Attorney for the city.

During this time, she becomes the defending lawyer for Manny Ruiz, a serial killer who has tormented and stalked Jason and Sam for months, after he apparently reforms. Jason and Sam insist that Manny is faking and that things will end badly, but Alexis refuses to heed their warnings and successfully gets Manny acquitted. Ironically, Jason and Sam's warnings prove true when Manny reverts to his old ways by kidnapping Elizabeth Webber.

Later, during an encephalitis epidemic, Alexis receives the last antidote. This results in the death of Sam's mentally handicapped older brother Danny, which only increases Sam's animosity towards Alexis. After several brushes with death, Alexis decides to find the daughter she gave up for adoption when she was a teen. Alexis learns that Sam is actually her daughter, but Sam hates Alexis, and blames her for all of her recent problems. The two continue to butt heads over Sam's relationship with Jason.

Alexis convinces Jason to break up with Sam after she was shot by Manny, which causes more conflict between mother and daughter. Sam moves in with Alexis, who is having marital problems with Ric. However, Manny eventually kidnaps Sam once more, and Jason teams up with the police to stop him; Mac Scorpio is quick to throw it in Alexis' face that the entire ordeal is her fault for setting Manny free in the first place.

When Alexis discovers that Jason's best friend, Carly, is trying to get him and Sam back together, Alexis confronts Jason and attempts to convince him to stop Carly from doing so, eventually leading to an argument with Sam. Alexis furiously suggests that Sam live elsewhere to prevent Kristina and Molly from being exposed to her "pathetic, degraded attitude", while Sam insists that Alexis sees her as trash and hates that she is her daughter, though Alexis appears visibly hurt by her accusations. Infuriated and hurt, Sam gets drunk and ends up having sex with Ric. Alexis and Jason both witness this, and Jason takes Alexis to the hospital when she suffers uncontrollable coughing.

Alexis is diagnosed with second stage lung cancer, and pretends to not have seen her husband and daughter having sex. Ric takes over as D.A., and Alexis pushes him together with Sam while she begins chemotherapy. Eventually, she furiously confronts the two, and attempts to take full custody of Molly. Due to the rigors of chemotherapy, the judge instead awards full custody to Ric. When his father Trevor Lansing comes to town as part of the Zacchara mafia organization, he returns Molly to her mother's care, and the two settle on joint custody.

When Sam shoots and apparently kills Diego Alcazar in front of Kristina, badly traumatizing her and rendering her mute for several months, this, combined with Sam's tryst with Ric, leads Alexis to cut Sam out of her life completely. However, the two continue to be drawn together for Kristina's sake, and because Sam wants to help Alexis fight her cancer. They finally reconcile when Alexis volunteers to be Sam's defense attorney when she is tried for Diego's murder. Ultimately, Sam is cleared of all charges due to a lack of evidence, and Alexis goes into remission.

Alexis returns to her job as the D.A., forming a very close friendship with attorney Diane Miller who bores a striking resemblance to Ric, and also beginning an affair with the criminal Jerry Jacks who was involved in the Metro Court Hotel Hostage Crisis which left her daughter Kristina scared and traumatized and a S.W.A.T. team was there. After Michael Corinthos is shot in an attempt on Sonny's life, Sonny agrees to sign away parental rights to his sons with Carly, but refuses to do the same with Kristina. Alexis had to adjust when Jerry had been supposedly killed, and protected him when he snuck in to Sonny's house. Alexis learns that Jerry had been part of Michael's shooting.

On February 19, Alexis and her daughters get ready for her wedding to Julian and Diane stops by as well. While they are getting ready, Alexis finds out that Molly and T.J. slept together for the first time. After some crying from Alexis, they hug it out and Molly tries to get Kristina to tell the truth about Parker, to no success. Later on, Alexis and Julian finally get married, however right after the ceremony is completed Dixon comes into the church with a gun and holds everyone hostage in revenge for the late Kyle Sloane and the late Helena Cassadine under the orders of Mayor Janice Lomax in violating everybody's constitutional rights.

Later on, Dixon threatens to shoot Alexis since she got out of her seat because he was threatening her daughter's in revenge for Sloane and Helena under the orders of Mayor Lomax. Julian stops him from shooting Alexis by offering him five million dollars in revenge for Sloane and Helena. A few minutes later, Alexis freaks out again when Dixon tries to take Molly hostage and Kristina stops him by saying she's Sonny kid. Dixon tries to take Kristina in revenge for Sloane and Helena but gets stopped by Sonny and the cops show up right after that. After the ordeal Alexis is happy that all of her daughters were save and was shocked to learn that Sonny could walk because she and the others were cursed under the spirit of her late stepmother Helena Cassadine. After everyone had left the church, Alexis tells Julian that she does not blame him for what happened and that she is grateful that all of their children are okay and attempt to confront Mayor Janice Lomax for her complicity to violate everybody's constitutional rights because she is outraged against violent crime because of the man being also friends with Carlos Rivera. It was revealed that T.J. Ashford and Epiphany Johnson were not present and unharmed.

In March, Alexis was in civil court in a lawsuit against Mayor Janice Lomax who violated everybody's constitutional rights including her cousin Morgan who was unable to testify against her because of him being committed at Freedman Clinic leading to T.J. Ashford and Epiphany Johnson testifying on Morgan's behalf with judge James Horowitz presiding when her father Ric decided to take action against her as Molly is with the American Civil Liberties Union along with her ex-husband Ric and her daughters Kristina, Molly, and Sam. Then came the will reading of Helena Cassadine.

On January 8, 2020; Alexis and Sam learned from Carly that Nikolas is alive and well and that he is in Port Charles. Eventually, Alexis went to Wyndemere and shared a happy reunion with Nikolas but then scolded him for being away for three years and leaving everyone to grieve. She was also shocked to learn that Nikolas married Ava the night before.

On January 13, Alexis got a visit from Neil who told her that he was losing his medical license because he did not wait two years before dating her. Neil was wanting to make the same mistake over and over so he can be with Alexis, but she didn't want him to regret losing his medical license later on. Eventually, Neil and Alexis parted ways and said goodbye for the time being since he decided to throw himself at the mercy of the board members.

As of May 6, 2020; Alexis' license to practice law was revoked after she was caught lying under oath at a medical board hearing. she decided it was best that her and Neil to avoid each other, until they couldn't. They decided that they were going to be together and ended up sleeping together. Neil died that same night due to an overdose. Alexis found the needle under her bed. The situation has caused Alexis to think about breaking her sobriety yet again but she was able to stop herself. She has also been suffering a wrist injury that has gotten so bad she can't carry things anymore.

In 2021, Alexis pleads guilty of assault after accidentally stabbing Dante with a syringe of lidocaine while aiming for Franco, and is sentenced to three years in prison (Judge Naomi Carson presided who was also friends with hitman Ray Giles, former district attorney Margaux Dawson, and former head nurse Epiphany Johnson).

In July 2021, Martin and Molly provide a incriminating recording of Judge Naomi Carson's judicial crimes and misconduct to the P.C.P.D. From this evidence, Jordan is able to order Alexis to be released to her local protective custody, reuniting the Davis family. The recording is sent to the judicial review board, where all of her presided cases will be reviewed for bias and possibly overturned.

On July 20, 2021; Jordan Ashford tells Alexis she will not be going back to Pentonville Penitentiary and will instead go to Spring Ridge Correctional Center. It is close to Port Charles, just outside city limits, with a low prison population housing non-violent inmates.

On July 23, Jordan takes Alexis to the facility and shows her around. Alexis sees that Ryan Chamberlain is also staying at Spring Ridge who Jerry Jacks would've had as his accomplice years earlier.

On November 8, Ric and Sam visit Alexis, to tell her she's been officially released.

As Alexis searches for a new purpose and direction in her life, she is offered several options - running Shawn Butler's new non-profit, partnering with her daughter Sam as a private investigator, teaching law at Port Charles University, and second in command at The Invader.

On October 19-20, she and Gregory Chase are interviewing Judge Albert Kim who is friends with former judge Naomi Carson and Judge Ron Jarrett as well as Judge Edward Sinclair and Attorney J.B. Brown.

On June 19, 2024; Alexis learns the that her disbarment has been vacated by the New York Court of Appeals. Her disbarment has been vacated. But she is still under a two year suspension… but that started four years ago. It's over, but she'll have to reapply to the bar.
