Alexandra first appeared in Corrie in April 2018 and her character has been at the centre of a huge storyline in which it was revealed that Steve McDonald, played by Simon Gregson, is her biological father. The actress admitted that she was nervous about joining the hit soap at first – because her mother was worried she'd "ruin" it. She said at the time: "She was worried I was going to ruin her favourite show for her. But after the first episode she watched it and she was like: 'Oh actually no, I like it, you haven’t ruined it, you’re good.'"
