Top 10 Times Alexis Rose Was the Best Character on Schitt's Creek 

Alexis had the most interesting and unexpected character arc, for me: like some commenters have said, she starts off as a typical, vapid socialite (or so we think), but she channels her confidence and passion into improving herself instead of impressing sheiks and yacht-hopping with celebs. LOVE that journey for her :)

Alexis could have easily been incredibly annoying but Annie Murphy plays her with such heart, you can't dislike her. Such a brilliant and original character.

Best character development in the show. And her stories from her past are so ridiculous 😂

The thing I love about Alexis is that even when she's shallow and self-absorbed, she's still also really sweet and doesn't want to hurt anyone.

Honorable mention to the time she runs into her terrible friends from her past life, and turns down the “job” offered by Clair when she gets her own business card delivery. I love the scene when she’s talking to Clair and realizes how far she has actually come on her own, and walks out.

I really wish you mentioned the Escape Room as it’s the pinnacle of Alexis’s ‘stories’ where she’s spitting them out one after another to which she solves the game!

"You try parallel parking in a burqa David" This comeback gets me every time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"I don't skate through life, David. I walk through life-in really nice shoes."

Gotta add Alexis' smile, while staring out the window of the car, after she realized Da-vid loved her enough to worry about her all those years.

1.When she puts aside all her feelings for Ted and makes sure David gets the exclusive dealership on the cheese supplied by Ted's girlfriend. Such a thoughtful sister. ❤ 2.when she gives David the pep talk just before his driver's license test. 3. When she takes the effort to teach David how to cycle. 4. When she's the only one to accept that she was almost glad the family lost all the money. (We all know they were all secretly thinking that). 5. When she confronted those girls in her class who kept passing chits. She thought they were bullies and still had the courage to do that!! 6. When she turns down kissing mutt because she's so honest about her feelings for Ted, yet asks nothing off him. 7. When she realises there are other more qualified people for the job she so easily got, and decides to leave to make space for them(literally no body does that). 8. She wanted the lead role in the play very genuinely, but when stevie got it she was not only happy but more than supportive of her. Gave her tips, talked to Moira, and never once tried to influence anyone to give her the role. 9. When she talked some sense into David and asked him not to mess up with Patrick because he was a "cute little button face".(BOY DO WE AGREE) 10. When she comes clean about the relationship quiz on the trail trip because she realises that she got David into trouble when he has a serious fear of heights and apologizes immediately. 11. When she looks for two bedroom apartments for her and David in New York, because that's how much she loves her brother.

My favorite thing about Alexis is although she is absolutely confident and has no problem what so ever showing it, she never tears any one down to shine. She's truly a great friend.

Alexis is the best .. She protrayed the hot "it" girl un a different image and made her relatable and likable

My favorite scene is when she is in the car with David and he is scolding her about how much he has always worried about her and she smiles - feeling his love ❤️

"Is this about those stupid tamagotchis? You left me with 6 of them, David! Taking care of that many is like a full time job!" 😂

Alexis started out as my least favorite character (just b/c they were all so good) but quickly became not only my absolute favorite of the show but one of my favorite tv characters of all time. So kudos to Dan Levy for the awesome writing of her character, and to the talented Annie Murphy for her phenomenal portrayal! I hope there’s more about her!

david is without a doubt my favorite character, but alexis has the best character development on the show!

Her breakup scene at the cafe is amazing. The dress.. the hair..the makeup ...the lines.. absolute perfection 💕

Dan Levy’s masterful writing and Annie Murphy’s amazing acting skills made Alexis. And to think she wasn’t even the first choice to play Alexis. I can’t imagine anyone else in the role.

Best Alexis Moment for me, I tear up every time. “‘This might sound insane, but I have this nagging feeling that I’m going to get there and start thinking about my family.’ ‘Not insane, that’s called missing someone.’ ‘Maybe I’m not explaining myself very well. Like I will physically be there…. But I will be thinking about them here.’ ‘What if something happens David, I’m basically his only friend. Or my dad, David and my mom sometimes gang up on him and I’m basically his only friend.’” 💔💔💔

Just love the way moira kicks Jocelyn under the table to get Alexis to stop singing 😂

"A Little Bit Alexis" was the best moment in comedy. Ever. Hands down.

Annie Murphy is a genius. Give her all the awards for everything ever. *boop

Loved how she went through her mother’s scary wardrobe for her “lawyer” role. That broach is fabulous. Nothing says “terrifying” better than a huge diamond encrusted insect.

The first time I fell in love with the show and Alexis was when Johny had finished bolting their door to prevent the Rose siblings from entering their room and Alexis just broke open that door. It was so unexpected and hillarious especially the delivery of Murphy was just perfect.

Shes also my favorite character in the show. Shes grown so much that you want to see her before and after Schitts Creek. I love her and Im glad she also bagged an Emmy.

"What's an all-paid vacation?" LOL . I was surprised you didn't mention when Alexis figures out how the shoplifters operated in David's store or when she figures out the escape room riddle. Those geniuous moments were neat.

Alexis is one of the best characters ever written and Annie Murphy took that gem of a character into the stratosphere of excellence. I’m so happy she won an Emmy for it. Any time I need a pick me up, I watch her on Schitt’s Creek.

Best scene with Alexis - When she provided emotional support to the woman whose cat died. She said that now this woman could have her gentleman friend over. It was so caring.

I was a fan from season 1 in Canada, but the "little bit Alexis" was the highlight. I laughed so hard, and still do

She's the absolute best! I'm such an Alexis fan.

She definitely had the best character development!!

Her stories are legendary. The Johannesburg checkpoint one is still my fav that she mentions to her dad and Roland when they have the truck full of raw milk and get busted by the cops LOL

It was wonderful seeing Alexis's journey from a shallow, narcissistic socialite to someone with so much heart! ❤️

I was so sad when she and Ted split! I get why they did it, but still sad.

From the very first episode, Alexis might be shown as spoilt but she was never a brat, she might be annoying to the town people but she was never mean. She is understanding and kind as we get to see this side of her as the show progressed. I will never complain about life if I have a friend like Alexis. 😃😍

I think a spin off with Alexis in NYC would be amazing. I know they likely won’t but it would be so good.

Her facial expressions are hilarious, when she was trying to break up with Ted

I have watched this entire series TWICE! And while I LOVE all of the characters, something about Alexis' growth really captured my heart. When she and Ted parted ways at the diner, it was heart wrenching for me....

Alexis came to be my favorite character midway on the series cause Annie Murphy played her so brilliantly but major props to Dan Levy for creating and developing such a seemingly self-absorbed but ultimately kind and wonderful character, wrting the smart and funny lines and situations and her unbelievable adventures pre-Schitt’s Creek life.

How about when David is getting his driver's license and Alexis corrects him how she lives her life. "I don't skate through life, David, I walk through life. In really nice shoes." This show of self-awareness and confidence made me watch her differently.

In the first season my wife hated her character but as the series progressed she loved her. I think that is the true beauty of the progression off the series.

by far my favorite Alexis moment is when she exposes the shoplifters in David and Patrick's store.

Ok I just realized I can't watch any scene from the wedding episode without immediately crying my eyes out so there's that.....

That final break up scene in the cafe causes the tears to well every.single.time.

I kept going in the series thinking, she will, sooner or later, make a wrong decision. But it didn't happen. I see Alexis character development and think this is what happens When you make right decisions at the right time with the characters in the show.

Lol I'm forcing my middle aged Manly Macho Dad to watch Schitts Creek during Dialysis! I think I'm wearing him down!! We're on season 2! I just ordered us matching "EWW DAVID!" Shirts!!!

tHiS iS nOt A wEdDiNg DrEsS iTs A fLoOr LeNtH wHiTe DrESs WiTh A hEad DrEsS Okay I think I’m wearing a vale -_-

Hands down my favorite Alexis moment is when her dad's jacket is missing a button and she says "ew, oh you pour thing"! Ew to a lost button and exclaiming "pour thing" to a missing button just slays me.

She wasn't that tone deaf, and she did choreo with her singing. I honestly think she could perfectly perform a britney song if needed

"I'm a little bit single even when I'm not!" :D

What is so amazing about Alexis is her character development is not only forward (eg finish school, pursuing a character in “pubic relations”), it also moves outwards. When you pill off the shallow socialite exterior, there’s a kind, sweet and smart person. Of course Annie executed Alexis with perfection.

I hope Top 10 Stevie Budd sarcastic remarks is in the works.

"You get murdered first for once!"

She manages to be selfish and yet very selfless at the same time and win all our hearts! Always up to watch a little-bit Alexis!

Despite having been neglected and not nurtured, she becomes adult, and is full of kindness. She lacks any bitterness and sees the good in everyone. I would have thought this character development at least, unlikely, but I know someone who’s character and background are very similar, and who brings the sun out in everyone else, just like Alexis! 🌟💜

“A little bit of Alexis”❤️😂😂😂😂 one of the best characters on the show!!

OH MY GAWD, EW, DAVID!

"I only stopped to cry like three times while recording this list". I had to pause the video a couple of times because of the tears.

My fav alexis moment is when she gave twyla the check back I knew she grew up in that moment my fav David moment.. all of them!!

She is the most promising character. I watched the show because of her, her fashion, her humor and her stories from the past - those are hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My favorite Alexis moment is when her dad rewrote her paper and she was accused of plagiarizing her paper by her teacher, so she went home to chew her dad out. LMAO!!!

Legally blonde? More like Legally Alexis!!!

She had the best character development for sure and was so fun to watch. Also, her stories were hilarious and I actually love her ending in some odd way. It was very different than what I would’ve expected from her and shows just how much she’s truly grown. Her giving David away at his wedding also makes so much sense because I feel like us viewers can tell they definitely raised each other and had to be there for each other while their parents were away or busy.

I wish she would have a spin off.

Hide your diamonds, hide your ex's, I'm a little bit Alexis.

“Yeah, so he’s dead, but the good news is that you’re not.” 😂💀

A Little Bit Of Alexis is Such A Mood.

Annie is absolutley adorable as Alexis! Thank you for joy darling~

I don't know why I'm crying real tears!? I miss this show... anyone else tearing up?

Angelica Bloomfields of Rose, Bloomfield and Glickman... 😂😂😂 died☠️💀

i wish "boop" was in this lol , great video

It’s hard to pick a favorite character! I love them all! 😭😭

A little of Alexis definitely The Best of her moments! 🙌🙌

Thanks for This walk down memory lane. I shed a few tears. Schitts Creek has to have been one of the best shows to come around in years. It was so funny without being vulgar and I loved the family dynamics. They were on each others side's. It always left me with a warm feeling. Annie Murphy was the perfect actress for Alexis. How could one not just love her or for that matter all of the characters.

Mom:" I just had my eye lashes done and EVERYTHING was shady."LMBO😂😂😂

Absolutely agree about Alexis! She became my favorite BECAUSE of her growth. I would love to see her flourish in NY.

These were all great! Annie stands out even in a show with such talented actors. One of my favorite scenes is when she helps David and Patrick kick out the young thieves from RA. The way she hair flips them both at the end of the scene is EVERYTHING!

Annie Murphy portrayed "Alexis: brilliantly. Loved her facial expressions from disappointed to happy daughter when she saw her mother at her high school graduation. Or when Ted admitted his love for her on Single Week. Wished she and Ted ended up "happily ever after..."

RIP to David’s tamagotchis

On paper she should be so unlikeable but she isn’t. She is always sweet, naive and adorable, she is Amazing

I love when she winks cause it’s never the right way to wink 😂😂

This is such a Schitty week!!! I LOVE IT!

That tamagotchi scene slays me every single time. It is such a perfect microcosm of David and Alexis’ relationship.

My favourite moment is when she says "EWW DAVID."

My favorite Alexis moment is when she told Ted she couldn’t let him move back from the Galapagos for her. She was so soft and genuine. No posturing, no spinning, no stretching the truth. Just real, unvarnished concern for another human being. I thought that was the climax of the entire series, to be honest. It showed how far she had come. Although I have to admit… A little bit Alexis killed me!

“I don’t skate through life david, I walk through life in really nice shoes. And I'm sorry if that rubs you the wrong way, but maybe if you could just relax for a second, and stop worrying about everything, everything would be easier for you!”

I mean, pretty much anytime she’s on screen there is gloriousness!!

Moira’s double kick to get Jocelyn to end “a little bit Alexis"… I just about died laughing…!

so happy A Little Bit Alexis was #1! now Davids has to be "fold in the cheese." 🤣

I love it when she "boops" people on the nose 😅

best character change ever! iconic woman! i loved the scene where she was like "yeah, they're robbing you"

She should get a Spin off show in New York 💕

Alexus was my favorite character(all of them are my favorite lets just be real.lol)...watching her transition from season to season was astounding and Annie Murphy was fantastic along with the rest of the cast. Alexus and Ted's dinner at the diner broke my heart but was perfect for both characters.

I have to admit that Alexis was not my favorite in the first season, I think when she started working with Ted I really started to like her. I loved when they got back together. She grew so much. Yay Alexis.

She definitely IS THE BEST CHARACTER of schitts creek.

A Little Bit Alexis is available on Spotify

I just finished the show and I'm so sad it's over.

I love Alexis Rose, she's my favorite, her past is so funny, and the way she had herself rise with the best of attitudes, luv it!

I love that they gave Alexis the arc she got ~ one of them needed that unexpected growth ~ Stevie had her moments; but she wasn't the one affected by a life changing bankruptcy -- giving it to Alexis helped balance the cornerstones of the four: Steady Johnny/famed Moira & hilarious Da-vid who hangs in there with family loyalty & gifted with falling in love. Even the motel gets an upleveling with the name & franchise! hahaha Writing was so stellar and us fans can't get enough. Cried thru the last 3 episodes, laughing all the way ... Those endearing Roses ~ just the bouquet I needed for this pandemic! BRAVO

The kick under the table is almost AS great as a 'Little Bit of Alexis' -- all so great! Could watch this daily!
