218:. When they began a search for "an easy-going hippy type", they immediately thought of Freedman for the part. Freedman admitted that it was a hard decision to accept the role of Alex, as he considered himself a musician first and an actor second. He later stated that "poverty got the better of him". Freedman signed a year long contract with the serial, but did not want to make a longer commitment due to his music career. He found it tough to give up his music job, saying "It's been very intense doing 60-hour weeks. The early morning starts have been very difficult for a man who likes nothing better than late nights and lots of noise." Freedman made his debut as Alex on 16 October 1995. A few months later, Freedman admitted that the demands of filming the serial were "hard to handle". He explained "I suppose I am reacting to the show in the same way that my character would, if he was being forced to get up at dawn and work a long day. I prefer late nights and long lie-ins so I am feeling jaded at the moment." 333:

Fisher revealed that she had received positive feedback about the Alex and Shannon's relationship. She thought it was because the pair were both artistic and had a lot in common, which differed to the other couples in Summer Bay at the time.

She also thought that viewers could resonate with them, as Shannon is vulnerable, while Alex is "a more gentle, more submissive male character, more of a spiritual Bohemian character." She added that they were "very much in love" and the perfect couple "for the time being."

It's not great literature or anything like that but you get to go in there and have a job that's well paid and do something different every day." Freedman later launched "scathing attacks" on his co-stars, calling some of them "prima donnas". He called Fisher "a silly little redhead" and said she was difficult to work with, seemingly confirming a rumour that they did not get along during their time on the show. Freedman later said "The best bit was when I had to act blind because I didn't have to see her." Fisher did not respond to his comments and was defended by their co-stars. 178:) from a group of youths. He later saves Selina from his father's religious cult.

romantic scenes were often filmed with them seated. Occasionally Freedman would have to stand in trenches dug in the sand, and Fisher had to stand on sandbags or stacks of telephone books. Fisher said that she would get whiplash craning her neck to kiss Freedman or a back injury from hugging him, while Freedman joked: "There's been a little bit of what goes around comes around, because I have to basically bend down to try and reach Isla. There was talk of an apple box (for Isla) from time to time. That, of course is probably a little too sexist, and the more realistic suggestion would be that I cut my legs in half!"
