alexis' schemes to destroy ex-husband blake, undermine his marriage to krystle (linda evans), and control her children drive much of the action over the series' run. passionate yet vengeful, alexis loves her children fiercely and will do anything to protect them, but she often ignores their own needs and desires in place of what she thinks is best. alexis marries three additional times, to cecil colby, dex dexter, and sean rowan. she is widowed twice, first by cecil and then by fourth husband sean, prompting alexis' cousin sable to remark that with alexis "death is always a simpler solution than divorce." her third marriage (to dex) ends in divorce after alexis catches him in bed with her adult daughter amanda. the name alexis uses the most consistently over the course of the series is alexis colby, though her marriage to cecil colby is her shortest. alexis is romantically linked to a number of men over the years, including oilman rashid ahmed, tennis pro (and krystle's first husband) mark jennings, king galen of moldavia, shipping tycoon zach powers, congressman neal mcvane, blake's brother ben carrington, dirk and gavin maurier, cecil's brother jason colby, and even a near-reconciliation with an amnesiac blake.
