Alexi "Alex" Poulos is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, portrayed by Danny Raco. He made his first on screen appearance on 26 February 2001 and departed on 13 February 2004. He returned for a brief guest stint in 2007, arriving on 4 June 2007 and made his final appearance on 19 June 2007.
Raco joined the cast in 2001 and his first scenes began airing on 26 February 2001. He quit the serial in late 2003 to pursue a career in directing and finished filming in January 2004, his final scenes aired in Mid-February 2004.
Early into Alex's arrival, Raco explained about his character's personality. "Alex isn't very secure, even though he would like everyone to think he is. He comes across as the macho type and thinks that is the way to be accepted. He still has a whole lot to learn in life."
Alex arrives in Summer Bay several days before his sister Leah's (Ada Nicodemou) wedding to Vinnie Patterson (Ryan Kwanten). Alex reveals that he wants to escape his parents and has fallen out with their uncle Con (Nicholas Papademetriou) over his electrical business. Alex begins working at the Diner with Leah and starts his own business, Alex Electrix and secures a contract with school principal Donald Fisher (Norman Coburn) at Summer Bay High.
Alex begins to pursue Dani Sutherland (Tammin Sursok), who is on a break from her boyfriend, Will Smith (Zac Drayson) and they go on one date but Dani is not romantically interested in Alex. At the end of the date, they argue and Alex accidentally knocks Dani's foster sister, Brodie Hanson (Susie Rugg) off her bike while driving. Brodie recovers after a successful operation and she develops feelings for Alex. They become a couple and are happy for a while but once Alex feels things are getting too serious between them, he decides to end things with her.
