Alexis Rose
Alexis Claire Rose is a fictional character in the Canadian
sitcom ''
Schitt's Creek,'' which aired on
CBC and
Pop TV from 2015 to 2020. Alexis, a member of the central Rose family, is introduced as the spoiled socialite daughter of
Johnny and
Moira Rose, and the younger sister of
David Rose. Her early seasons storylines revolve around her efforts to adjust to life in Schitt's Creek after her family loses their fortune, as well as her romantic entanglements with locals Mutt Schitt and Ted Mullens. In later seasons, Alexis's story focuses on her educational pursuits and the establishment of her public relations business, Alexis Rose Communications, all while starting a new and serious relationship with Ted. For the fifth season episode "The Hospies", Alexis performs the song "
A Little Bit Alexis", which was later released professionally by
Annie Murphy on February 19, 2019.
Alexis Rose was portrayed by actress
Annie Murphy for the series' entire 80-episode run. She secured the role after Alexis's initial portrayer,
Abby Elliott, was unable to continue in the role when ''Schitt's Creek'' was picked up to series by the CBC. Murphy's performance has been largely praised by fans and critics, with some critics calling her the show's "breakout star". For her work as Alexis, Murphy was nominated for three
Canadian Screen Awards and one
Gracie Award, an award she won in 2019. In 2020, she won the
Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
