During a March 2011 interview with [[Digital Spy]], Executive Producer [[Steve November]] commented on Stacey's casting and his character. He described Alex as "a young guy, a working-class farmhand who arrives in the village. He's not unattractive by any means, so he'll be a bit of a heart-throb and romantic lead, break a few hearts, and provide some great stories for our younger women and girls."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/scoop/a309415/more-emmerdale-chat-from-steve-november.html|title=More 'Emmerdale' chat from Steve November|last=Kilkelly|first=Daniel|date=17 March 2011|work=[[Digital Spy]]|publisher=[[Hachette Filipacchi UK]]|access-date=14 April 2011}}</ref> Alex has also been called a "hunk" and Stacey revealed that he gets into trouble because "he is single and out to enjoy himself."<ref name="Woof"/> The actor explained that Alex is a regular guy who comes from a troubled background, his family is a touchy subject and this results in him shutting people out.<ref name="Woof"/> Stacey also revealed that if Alex has a secret then it is most likely to have something to do with his family.<ref name="Woof"/>
The [[Press Association]] reported that Alex would get off on the wrong foot with [[Adam Barton (Emmerdale)|Adam Barton]] ([[Adam Thomas]]) shortly after his arrival.<ref name="Shaky">{{cite news|url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5i-DnuV5DJ9He3aB9fs8KlMdfeqLA?docId=N0388091301918611301A|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110409165332/http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5i-DnuV5DJ9He3aB9fs8KlMdfeqLA?docId=N0388091301918611301A|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 April 2011|title=Dales newcomer gets shaky welcome|date=4 April 2011|publisher=[[Press Association]]|access-date=14 April 2011}}</ref> Alex gains John's approval as he begins working on the farm and this "riles up" Adam.<ref name="Shaky"/> Of the situation, Stacey said "I don't think he'll get on with Adam because he replaces Adam on the farm – Adam sees him arrive and work really hard and is annoyed that he's good."<ref name="Shaky"/> Alex also catches the eye of Adam's sister, [[Hannah Barton|Hannah]] ([[Grace Cassidy]]), and Adam does not like it.<ref name="Shaky"/> Stacey added that Alex will become friends with [[Andy Sugden]] ([[Kelvin Fletcher]]) and he is initially the only person Alex knows in the village. The locals are a little suspicious of Alex at first.<ref name="Shaky"/> When asked how Alex got the job with John, Stacey explained, "Andy knew his dad and knows Alex is a hard worker so he recommends him.
